The goal of this project is to add multiple raster effects to Inkscape through the ImageMagick library.
ImageMagick has quite a large set of effects, probably at least 50 or so. Time permitting, all of these can be added to Inkscape (though naturally I'll skip some of the unnecessary ones like flip and rotate.)
I'm concerned that this project would be redudant with respect the implementation of SVG filter effects -- most of the effects offered by ImageMagick could be expressed in terms of SVG filters, and if done using SVG filters would then have the advantage of being live rather than "baked in".
Would you consider a proposal to implement the remaining SVG filter effects in Inkscape? We currently implement only feGaussianBlur, so that work is badly needed.
