Re: [Gimp-developer] Gradient dithering
Hi Sven, On Saturday 19 July 2003 7:48 am, I'm working on it; I've got 1.3.16 installed and working, and it doesn't look as though the relevant code has changed too much (just been moved a bit). It would be really nice to get a patch against 1.3.16. A patch against 1.3.16 is now attached to bug 9. The patch adds a new dither parameter to gimp_drawable_blend(), and to the gimp-blend pdb function, so the patch also updates the Script-Fu scripts to use the new parameter.

A new version with heaps of changes is released.. that means gimp is
dead? I don't follow.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Gradient dithering
I tried the patch. It worked just fine, and IMHO should be used as a fix to the aforementioned bug. I tried to aply adptive supersampling with maximum depth, to compare the effects with the ones from the patch: I had to kill out gimp after 20 minutes of 90% CPU use and no response.

If you're interested, you can find out more here: http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/dithergrad.shtml How is that different from enabling Adaptive Supersampling in the blend tool options? It looks quite a lot different -- as far as I can tell from reading the patch, it does what it says on the bottle, that is, it (random-)dithers the truncated precision into the lowest bit(s) of the 8-bit precision that we support.
