Tux Paint already has several "magic tools" which are somewhat equivalent to Photoshop plug ins. My project is to add new features and new tools that can be used in Tux Paint.

Currently all of the magic tools work only on certain areas of the image and there are no tools that work on the whole image. Some examples of the tools that could be developed are jigsaw or mosaic modifiers that would effect the whole image.

As well as developing new full image tools I am also hoping to come up with new ideas for magic tools that follow the traditional area based approach.

The new tools will be implemented in C and use SDL - http://www.libsdl.org/ to interface with the images.
