[Gimp-user] 'Cutout' filter for Gimp?

2003-06-18 Thread Dee Dreslough
Hi Everyone!

I'm new to the list, but I've been using gimp exclusively now for
several months, and I love it.

The one feature I used to have with photoshop but haven't yet found with
Gimp is a filter called (I might be mis-remembering) Cutout.

It was great for taking my black and white sketches and smoothing them
out to make them look more vector-drawn, as well as filling in any
missed spots. Here's an example:

Before Cutout: http://www.dreslough.com/main/latest/FallGirlandDog-2.png
After Cutout: http://www.dreslough.com/main/latest/FallGirlandDog2.png

What's the equivalent filter for this in Gimp? (I'm sure there is
one...there seems to be an equivalent for everything else I've needed so
far... ;) )

Sorry for the image size.
[300KB image atachment ommitted to the list grim]
This is what I got wth the GIMP

1) filters-blur-gaussian blur, 3 hor, 2, V
2) adjust brightness and contrast: enhance contrast, augment brighness
3) repeat  steps 1 and 2 once.
Hope it satisfies you.
If you need to automate that, I could make a script for you later on.

 Thank you so much for answering so clearly, and so quickly! :)

 I've been playing with it for a few minutes now, and it looks like
 it can do what I need. Thanks!

 Is Gaussian blur what I should use to try to get rid of Bitmapping
 if I enlarge a digital color picture, too?

Hi there!

Hmmm...Yes... and as far as I know it can cure any disease, and turn
plumbum into gold.  :-)


Just kidding - but it's really a usefull tool, this blurring. I first
met it even before using the GIMP, for making  drop shadows by hand.

Just the other day, I met someone who would use Gaussian Blur to make
a better detect edges  than the filters built with this purpose.

And I certeinly use it to eliminate some of the aliasing when I
enlarge pictures. Just rest certain to set interpolation type to
Cubic, in the
(main)File-Preferences-Enviroment-Scaling  settings. It wil;l
certainly do you more good than gaussian blurring in this case.
