Apologies - forgot to reply-all

My advice would be to save your files in TIFF format.  If you enable
LZW compression, the file size will be significantly reduced without
losing quality (unlike JPEG, and to some degree PNG).

I'm not sure what process your printer is using, but if it's just a
full-color transfer, a resolution of 200 DPI will be sufficient.

[Gimp-user] lightening

2006-10-07 Thread Alan Thomas



 Is there a way to lighten up a 
map (i.e., fade it a bit into a background) in GIMP?

Hey Anna:


Yes they are Compatible.
When I am in college, I use GIMP on my linux workstation in labs and  
then when I am home, I use Photoshop to work with the images.

So I am sure that it works.

Best,
Purvi

I need to use a photo editor to edit some photos that will be put on
t-shirts.   The person that does the t-shirts uses Adobe Photoshop  
and I
was wondering if the edited photos from this program will be  
compatible

with Photoshop.

Thanks

Anna

PNG is just as lossless as TIFF with LZW compression. There are ways  
of lossily compressing PNGs but they are non-standard and GIMP does  
not implement them as far as I know.


Either will suffice in this case as photoshop reads both, though its  
support for PNG in certain situations (mostly having to do with 16  
bits per channel images) is sub-par.

TIFF is another good option, however the Wikipedia entry for PNG says it 
uses a type of lossless compression.  Have I missed something here?  I 
am very curious to know the answer as I have started to save my 
completed photographs as PNG because I thought there was no penalty for 
doing so.


Thanks,

I agree with you, Mike. My understanding is that the different
compression settings of PNG only effect how rigorously (and time
consuming) the compression algorith is; i.e., that all PNG files are
losslessly compressed.

Other than the shading, the development version of the GIMP has
implemented cropping precisely how you described.
