I believe that most blurring problems originate from incorrect gamma treatment .. the interpolation done during scaling and other operations is only accurate if done in linear RGB colorspace, whereas predominantly people use the sRGB colorspace which is nonlinear (up to 50% error can occur from interpolating sRGB values as if they were linear.). Working in "CIE 1931 D65 Gamma 1.0" colorspace and eventually converting to 'nativePC" profile to produce the final picture might well improve your results. It has made my results smoother and crisper. (the profiles mentioned above are available from: http://www.aim-dtp.net/aim/techniques/linear_raw/index.htm) That said, if you provide a suitable typographical test image, I will include it. ( I see no issue that a diagrammatic test image would show up that wouldn't already appear on either Liam's complex engravings or a typographical test image. So unless you demonstrate that, I will not include a diagrammatic test image) David _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
