All I've ever had to do with it: - resizing. Image - Scale Image. Select "Cubic" for interpolation. - sharpening. Filters - Enhance - Sharpen. I sharpen all my digital images 10%, sometimes 15%, and all my scanned photos 15%. The image gets softer when you resize, this brings it back. - cropping, using the Crop tool in the main window (looks like a scalpel). For some of my images for use on a website, I'll put my name and the date the photo was taken in text at the lower right corner. Usually it's in white, sometimes in black for a light photo. Use the text tool in the main window. I've occasionally done more advanced things, like removing the moire pattern when scanning printed images. This was done with Filters - Blur - Gaussian Blur. However resizing from a much larger scan does the same thing. There's a tutorial out there for removing red eye that I've used a couple of times. Involves masking the red eye then de-saturating the red channel inside the mask IIRC. Note - you can scan your image directly from GIMP if your scanner uses a TWAIN or WIA driver. In the main window, go to File - Acquire - TWAIN. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28857 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
