How cheeky would it be from me to encourage you to actually study what
GEGL is? :)

It's a goddamn graph compositing engine. (Sorry, I'm still under
impression from the Oatmeal's Tesla comic).

You can take a buffer, pass it thorugh a colorspace converter
(rgb2lab), pick a channel and plug it into a specific input of a GEGL
operation, then plug the output into another colorspace converter
(lab2rgb).

And you expect PSD to store the GEGL graph tree? Really?

No way Jose :)
