Unfortunately different colours may be affected at different rates, so you may have to experiment a lot. Work in stages, and don't overdo it - there's always undo.

I s there > any technique using Gimp that can restore the color? Another method for bringing up color (and contrast), is to make a layer copy of the (scanned?) original, and set its Layer Mode to Overlay. This alone may not be sufficient; or, if it does /too/ much to increase color and contrast, dial the new layer's opacity back until if looks about right. (I think Akkana Peck posted this method here years ago, somebody did and I have gotten a LOT of mileage out of it.) After the above adjustment, do Layer > New From Visible, and do further work if needed on the new layer. Some tools to try: Colors > Hue / Saturation - The saturation and lightness sliders may do useful things. Colors > Levels - The default setting will let you drag a curve up and down where and as needed, to fine tune brightness within specific ranges. Play with it, and remember: Control-z is your friend, just undo any changes you aren't satisfied with. Also and maybe more importantly, the Channel selector will let you work on Red, Green and Blue independently. The Colors > Map > Sample Colorize tool may also prove useful, especially if you want to go as far as combining multiple, masked layers to recreate the original image. The Help doc for this tool emphasizes /removing/ color and creating abstractions, but it can also make very good guesses in transferring colors from a sample image to the one you're working on. Worth a shot, maybe. http://www.gimphelp.org/official/plug-in-sample-colorize.html There are SO many ways to go about tweaking color in images... :o) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

There is a difference, the reported print image size(s) bear no relationship to the original jpeg properties. But that was all. You could try turning off all the options, set the mode to 8 bit RGB. as screenshot: Might work. The only other difference, which should not make any difference, is a small change in the colours, presumably due to Gimp 2.10 opening the jpeg in (default) linear light mode.
