[Gimp-user] thanks and what format is best to start with when doing seperations

2006-11-06 Thread rob

Thanks for the newsprint and color seperation instructions.
I was certain these were possible but could not find detailed instructions.
I have not tried anything yet but will get on it now an dhave some tests 
in this hour.


I was very disappointed to get this first response:
I don't think this is possible. JPEG are already cooked, and flattened 
picture. I don't think you will be able to break it down, and turn it 
back to xcf (gimp format).  I guess you shouldn't have deleted the 
original file of the image.


BUT
then the real answers came flying in.
I said JPG at first but I don't care if I start with a JPG or BMP or GIF.
I figure any image I can scan on the flatbed scanner can be a target to 
work with.
Which brings out the question of WHAT FORMAT would be the best to start 
in when knoing that the

whole seperation process will be done with an image.
Is there any reason to select any one format over another considering 
that most shared images do show up as GIF and JPG.?!?!?!
