Plenty of free software projects are being overwhelmed with trash code to review by the likes of you.

> Because I didn’t understand the math in the Mixbox paper well enough to reproduce their technique. And we can’t use their code of course. This is a workaround.

“I worked around the copyright infringement” is pretty bad, especially when you state it out in the open. Even if you think you’re right that doing it this way isn’t copyright infringement, this opens the doors for expensive, lengthy litigation.

I don’t think this is going to be accepted into Krita from numerous angles. Save yourself the wasted effort.

All right, since it’s clearly not welcome, I won’t submit it.

Thank you for including Krita’s interdiction on LLM-generated code.

As an artist, I would love to be able to use this feature. For me, unfortunately, the link above wouldn’t work since I am on Linux/Wayland.

Would it be possible, as Halla stated, for a developer/developers who have time to see what was made and be able to code it in a manner that can be implemented and maintained in Krita, with @seguso permission, of course?

Maybe. We need someone who knows about coding to implement realistic color mixing.
