One way to do it, is to vectorize the bitmap image, and then convert back to raster... This can be done by converting bitmap to path, then path to selection.. i did a short cut, and feather the selection instead, hopefully the results isn't too different. The images are not meant to be final. From here, it can be used to generate cartoons, and used in some other effects. The main skeleton is completed. A couple more effects will be added and then more tweaking options to add.. I wish script-fu has a label or comment string. That way i can group all the related tweaking things in one label, one group or one text box or something like that.. A simple comment line would be nice... Maybe tiny-fu will have some new enhancements to the UI options ?? If you have done something interesting please post the image result. Maybe someone will be inspired to write some scripts along this line.. re, lasm ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Most low income households are not online.
