Re: [Gimp-user] incremental scaling
David Hodson wrote: Alexander Rabtchevich wrote: It is known incremental scaling produces better results than one-step scaling. Only if your scaling algoroithm is not very good. Better would be to fix any problems in the scaling algorithm, and scale in a single pass. (Sorry, I accidentally replied direct to Alexander first time...) Alexander Rabtchevich wrote: I've downsampled from 1562x1562 (crop) to 64x64 (avatar). And the incremental scaling produced definetely better results. GIMP 2.2.3, Windows, cubic scaling. The problem with scaling down by a large factor is that you need to average out a large number of pixels to get an accurate result. As far as I know, the Gimp rescale function uses the same algorithm for scaling either up or down, so if you're using cubic interpolation it will only sample 16 pixels. The simplest solution is to blur the image before scaling down. I'd try with a radius about the same as the scaling factor, but that's just a guess. -- David Hodson -- this night wounds time ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Batch-Resizing Photos, etc.
Lyle, 1) batch renaming 2) batch file-type conversion 3) batch rotations (righting vertical photos) 4) batch resizing David's Batch Processor is a Gimp plugin which does most of these: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbp.html Give it a try, and let me know if you have any suggestions. Also, are there any viewing options that allow for jumping from photo to photo by using Page Up Page Down? My File Sequencer lets you step through sequentially numbered images, if that's helpful: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/fileSeq.html (It has a minor bug which should be fixed when Gimp 2.2 is released.) -- David Hodson -- this night wounds time ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Judging the splash contest (mark 2)

Re: [Gimp-user] How to treat several pictures at once?
Dirk, I took a series of pictures (measures) and I have to normalize and equalize them to see any result. [...] Any help, tutorial or hint would be cool because it is quite urgent. I've got a batch processing plugin at: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbp.html It applies some common operations to a collection of images. It doesn't do equalisation, but it has brightness and contrast, so if the adjustment is the same for all images you might be able to use it. -- David Hodson -- this night wounds time ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If you want to stay inside Gimp, try David's Batch Processor (DBP) at http://members.ozemail.com.au/~hodsond/dbp.html It provides the most common operations, lets you set up the effect you want, then runs all your files through the same processing.
