[Gimp-developer] cubic interpolation vs. Genuine Fractals

2002-01-15 Thread larry

[Gimp-developer] unsharpen mask radius 1.0

2002-01-15 Thread larry
I've been following some instructions oriented toward photoshop that talk of unsharpen mask settings including a radius of 0.3 or 0.8. I notice that Gimp's implementation has a minimum radius of one. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

1.2.2 definitely has the USE_LAPLACIAN code in, but it is not enabled. The current developer head in CVS doesn't. I'm assuming that as part of porting iscissors.c to the new tool model someone (Mitch/Sven?) took the opportunity to strip out unused code. This is a perfectly reasonable thing to
