[Gimp-user] Re: smart resize
* Marco [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Barton Bosch wrote: Hey Marco, could you tell whether and why using bicubic for enlarging and bilinear for reducing is better than using bicubic for both? I was under the impression that bicubic was the highest quality algorithm for all resizing operations. No, I couldn't. I cannot find any reason based on a clear mathematical proof. However I'm quite sure that bicubic is not a panacea for all resizing operations. In http://www.msjc.edu/m2/gall/resampling-nearestbilinear/resampling.html is given an example of better results with Nearest Neighbour instead of bicubic (because of the image nature). In http://www.mav-magazine.com/Apr1999/resample/ is described this bilinear/bicubic option of PSP. The question is tricky. And I'm very interested in a clear answer. My opinion is that (sometimes) bicubic for reducing smooths the image too much. I found this off comp.periphs.scanners: http://www.xs4all.nl/~bvdwolf/main/foto/down_sample/down_sample.htm Though it doesn't tell about 'real-life' performance (PS CS's will likely produce 'sharper' looking image), it seems ImageMagick does the better thing. -- Psi -- http://www.iki.fi/pasi.savolainen ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Validity of selling GIMP?
Browsing ebay tonight, I noticed that someone was selling The GIMP. Is this allowed under the current licensing? He hasn't mentioned any modifications he's made. I emailed him and asked how the program would be delivered; his answer was that he would send it in an email, or mail a cd if email wouldn't work. Understandably I'm leery of screaming foul play as distro's make their money in a similar fashion... the difference being they add some form of value for the cost.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Seriously, this guy is hilarious. Check out the bidders on the gimp auction, the obviously fabricated comments on the seller, and the other items the seller is offering. Looks like the openoffice and the gnu pdf-writer thingy people should have a word (no pun intended) with him too. It's like Ahmed's Pizza's and cheap software. Check out his examples of gimp usage, in one of them he's obviously ripped it from someone running Photo shop under OS9. Is this illegal? Who should sue him? I have no idea. /CJ Ray Anthony wrote: | Browsing ebay tonight, I noticed that someone was selling The GIMP. | Is this allowed under the current licensing?

Hi, Ray Anthony wrote: Browsing ebay tonight, I noticed that someone was selling The GIMP. Is this allowed under the current licensing? Yes. Absolutely no problem. He may also refuse to give you the program (and source) until you pay for it. However, once he does give you the source, you may do what you want with it, including giving it away. And value addition is a commercial argument, nothing to do with licencing.

[Gimp-user] GdkPixbuf problem
Hi everyone -- At http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf-gdk-pixbuf.html , the GDK developer's documentation specifies the bits-per-sample property as follows: The number of bits per sample. Allowed values: [1,16] Default value: 8 However, I get the following error when I try to allocate a pixbuf with 16 bits per sample in Windows 2000: (rawtools:372): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: file gdk-pixbuf.c: line 261 (gdk_pixbuf_n ew): assertion `bits_per_sample == 8' failed Is this a known issue? If so, when will it be fixed? Matt ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
