Hi everyone, I have very old (circa 1995) computer art that is 256 colors. It is all cartoons (you can see http://www.beachware.com/images/peter2.jpg for an example).
The original high resolution art is not available. So I want to take the 256 color computer screen art and change it to millions of colors (24 bit) art. But the original reduction to 256 colors resulted in dithering. In that example URL I just mentioned, you can see the alternating pixel colors used to fake the appearance of colors not in the 256 palette. What's the best way to take that 256 art and make the areas look smooth and not dithered? I'm a part-time software developer, not an artist, so I'm hoping for an easy solution. When I first tried fixing it, I couldn't find a good way using GIMP on Mac OS X. The Despeckle filter on a very old version of Adobe Photoshop worked okay, but that computer is no longer available. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. -- AppStoreWannabe (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
