Concentric circles and the like. These geometric patterns make any defect instantly visible whereas it may not be obvious in one operation on a photo-like image. care should be taken not to assume the criteria is one or two simple ops on photos. Gimp vision specifies graphics as well as photos so defects in geometric shapes are highly relevant. I also posted a woodpecker photo that had a near horizontal beak section. I found this was a very sensitive test for staircasing defects that may be relevant here. Search bugs for lanczos or rotation to find these bug reports containing attachments. regards. > For potential problems with vertical artifacts, see the > 1600x1200 image at > http://www.fromoldbooks.org/Green-ShortHistory/pages/0187-Remains-of-Cloisters/ > (I had to resize it to 1024x768 using cubic and then sharpen) > > The 1518x916 one at > http://www.fromoldbooks.org/YouthsInstructer/pages/072-New-Post-Office-London/ > has near-horizontal lines which are difficult. > > http://www.fromoldbooks.org/YouthsInstructer/pages/181-Dunluce-Castle/181-Dunluce-Castle-q59-1447x923.jpg > has diagonals and is an RGB image instead of grayscale. > > http://www.fromoldbooks.org/ThomasBewick-WoodEngravings/pages/30-the-horse/1790x1307-q75.html > is a fairly clean woodcut. > > I have some much larger images too if you want them. > > Liam > -- .*. /V\ (/ \) ( ) ^^_^^ _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
