Same here - and very low resolution. The signature itself is only 64 x 142 pixels, and the artifacts look like they could have come from scaling an earlier copy in an indexed format. If possible I would start over with a new signature and scan, at 300 DPI or above, with black ink on white paper. Then, applying the filter Colors > Color to Alpha would produce a much more acceptable result. The more uniform the color and texture of the paper (or etc.) used, the more certain the result. Or you could go in a whole other direction, make a vector path from the available signature, stroke it with an oblong brush with its angle and hardness tweaked, and use the result. This would be a typical part of creating a logo from a signature. Just for an exercise, I did that: http://pilobilus.net/xfer/helen.zip Picture worth way more than a thousand words. :o) Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
