Re: [Gimp-user] Smoothing inked lines?

2010-07-20 Thread Marc Carson
Here's what I'd do. Gaussian blur, by 8 pixels radius. Then do COLOURS BRIGHTNESS-CONTRAST, increase the contrast slider to 70. Thanks for that (and everyone else for the other great ideas). I'm using this trick for now until I get a direct potrace solution working. I also noticed that G'MIC

2010-07-14 Thread Marc Carson
I've been scanning inks into GIMP, then moving them over to Inkscape for tracing to make the lines smoother. Is there a way to do this in GIMP alone? I don't mean vector tracing, just getting rid of the smaller abnormalities or fuzziness around my inked lines. I already scan at 600 dpi. Here's an

When you select your pattern, press SHIFT+R. Then you can rotale the pattern either clockwise or counterclockwise. You can choose between adjusting the angle by hand, or by numeric value. Do you mean when I select the pattern in the Patterns palette? Shift+R there doesn't seem to do anything.

Hi Rolf, A lot of Open Source is mirrored at Universities and other institutions. I would love to get a home for the old episodes there too and then spread the load with a round robin system. Any ideas how to achieve this? Rolf Try the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org. They

That is a tough one. I've done this sort of thing before, but in 3D software, and I already had a displacement (black to white) map to use for extruding the 3D surface. I then used a procedural texture color gradient on the Y axis of the model to apply my chosen colors to the model's contours,
