i'd like some text boxes. just something that i can label certain components with. for instance, a text box next to the 'color' component would be helpful. most folks are going to figure out that they can indeed pick a color in the filter and change it, but a small text box next to the color box would be nice. 'click here to change colors'...something like that. maybe a 'text' box could be made as a component and plugged into other components?

I was thinking about including a new type of entity, called Notes -- they could be placed onto the workspace like components, and would look like those yellow notes you stick to your monitor. Maybe they can be attached to components so that they can be moved together.

yes, something along those lines would be helpful. something that we can use to tell others how to work things or suggestions to try. i know you have the exif type data, 'descriptions', 'updates' and so on, but that's somewhat hidden from the user. and yes, including pre-sets with a filter also helps, but i just found that, even though your interface is very inutitive, something just a bit more upfront on the main interface would be useful at times.

as far as attaching the 'notes' to components, maybe a small dot or button on the component that when clicked would open a drop down note about the button. it's really not a big item and if it doesnt make it in, that's fine. it was really only on the 'colors' component in a finished filter that i thought maybe there shld be something to alert the user.
