Hi, folks, I'm running CentOS 6.7, and the most current GIMP for that, 2.6.9-8. A friend, half a continent away, is scanning parts of a number of old 'zines for me. From that, The originals were printed on colored paper....
I want to do OCR. On a couple of .pdfs, one I d/l from the 'Net, and one from a different scanner, I import it into GIMP as images (we're talking 16-20pp), and, page by page, push the contrast to max, cut the brightness to half or less of what it was, then pull up threshold, and the preview shows me black text on white, and saving it that way, tesseract works just fine. Doing that with these scans, nada. No useful changes, and threshold does nothing. Clues for the poor? mark _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
