I would take a close look at what an "export for web" function actually does, and start doing those things by hand. Nothing but human judgment can determine how much an image can be compressed and retain adequate resolution for the purpose at hand. Or how to adjust contrast and saturation, and/or when and how to apply a little unsharp mask or (almost always better) nonlinear edge enhancement, to make the thing look right. Here's something I started doing a while ago: When processing images for use on a website, set the canvas and canvas padding colors in the GIMP to the background color of the pages where the images will appear. (Edit > Preferences > Image Windows > Appearance, and use the color value from the site's style sheet.) Then, the whole time you are working on the images, you will see them "in context" against the background they will live on. This makes any problems with hue or brightness relative to the background that "frames" the images visible at once and very easy to fix. It also improves visualization when working with images that will have "pseudo-transparency" against the page background, i.e. round corners, non-rectangular buttons, etc. :o) Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
