I scanned some microfilm yesterday. For some reason the software does not
support JPEG so I scanned into TIFF format, putting 5 images in each TIFF
file to reduce the number of times I had to enter a file name.
When I got home I used GIMP to extract the individual images into JPEGs.

Very likely the TIFF files are 1 bit per pixel (only black or white,
with no gray). JPEG supports a minimum of 8 bits per pixel, so right
away, with equivalently efficient

Not necessarily - the tiff images are probably monochrome, and tiff is
exceptionally good at c

Hi David, gimpusers,
Is it possible to copy a "layer mask" from one layer to another layer?

I want to blur the sky so that only pixels in the selection are used in
computing the new values. Also, I need to use a large blur radius.
I've done this in the past by starting off with a small blur raidus and
progressively reducing the selection, increasing the (gaussian) blur
radius as I did so
