The dark bands can be attributed to the fact that the averaged region near the borders is "filled out" by effectively duplicating the row or column at the edges. The algorithm may not be optimal, but it works as one should expect. The average is currently produced by a formula similar to: sum (v-2, v-1, v, v+1, v+2) / 5 Near the borders, when there is no value "v+2" available, for example, you end up with: sum (v-2, v-1, v, v+1, v+1) / 5 And the next pixel will be: sum (v-2, v-1, v, v, v) / 5 If you wish to improve the algorithm, I would suggest that you need to discard terms and adjust the denominator accordingly -- the last example shown should produce "sum (v-2, v-1, v) / 3". At least, that is my recommendation. I am not a mathematician. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
