Rulers are available, the image can be zoomed, and for maximizing the workspace all palette windows can be hidden in one go. The view can be made fullscreen and can be split. You can cut, copy and paste between lagers and images, with conversion through icc profiles if this is necessary. 8, 16, and 32 bit colorspaces are available (RGB, CMYK, L*a*b*, …) and colors can be selected from a color wheel, rgb or grayscale sliders or with a palette. The scripting is compatible with PyQt/KDE and Korundum for adding GUI items, such as dialog boxes. There are tools, colorspaces, paint operations, filters and kpart-based user interface plugins.
