said jrickards: | HI: | | I have about 20 photos (tripod mounted) that I'd like to blend. I'm | running Linux Mint 19.1 and I know that my laptop, having only 4gb ram | at the moment, is rather weak but let's just go with that. | | I have tried something similar in the past and it failed so I moved on. | I was exporting from darktable into PNG format and then importing as | multiple layers but I'm wondering if, because JPG files are smaller (not | as good quality as TIFF or PNG even tho I set export quality to 100%), | would my system handle these images better in JPG format? | | Alternatively, if I have 20 images, could I blend 4 groups of 5 at a | time, then blend the 4 groups into one image, would that be a suitable | compromise. Yes, more steps than blending once but if the result is | similar, for the sake of my system's limitations, might this be a | reasonable alternative method?
if you're using any transparency, as "blend" implies, you'll need to use png -- jpegs don't do transparency. also, png is or can be lossless, unlike jpeg. -- dep Some pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album _______________________________________________ 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
