The actual reason for this email is that I think it might be overkill
to have both lohalo and nohalo available as choices, they are related
and powerful transformation ellipsis aware methods, maybe it is
sufficient to have one go-to high quality resampler instead of
expecting the user to make a choice between lohalo and nohalo on a
case by case or built up as general preference, and in which case I
believe of these two related methods, from Nicolas Robidoux &
collaborators, we'd be best off keeping the nohalo method - possibly
with an adaptive _OFFSET0 to speed resampling that is primarily
interpolatory.
Hi Pippin,
Agreeing with what you say, I've tried lohalo and never saw any reason
to use it instead of nohalo. For several years now nohalo is the only
downsizing method that I use.
I see in the git log that some changes have been made recently to
nohalo. I haven't used the new version of nohalo, and also haven't added
these changes to my "CCE" version of GIMP. The reason I mention this is
because even though nohalo (the older version of nohalo) is slow, it
produces results that are exceptionally good.
The recent GEGL commit 0b0ecbb67198d6318ed163522e5233ecbc18ff25 mentions
slightly sharper results for nohalo: "for sigificant downsampling this
might result in sharper/aliased results".
This "sharper/aliased results" doesn't sound like a good thing, at least
not for my particular workflow. I don't use a lot of sharpening in my
workflow, and I prefer to do any required post-downsizing sharpening by
hand, using masks and layers, and using either unsharp mask or high pass
sharpening, on an image by image basis.
Would there be the possibility of parameters with the revised nohalo
that would allow to replicate the old results?
Best,
Elle
