For TV, maybe you should adjust the output levels of the image, as  
most TV sets seem to have problems in showing the brighter colors.  
Anything that is 255-white should be a bit darker. However, I don't  
know wich is the reccomended value...

[Gimp-user] Good tutorial on curves

2007-06-05 Thread DJ
Hi Gimp-user,

I found this article/tutorial on curves w/Gimp helpful in
improving my understanding of the topic:

http://www.thelensflare.com/docs/index.php/A_basic_curves_tutorial

Just thought I'd pass it on.

I had an interesting black and white photo with a lot of sky. It
made the curves histogram look like: |

I selected the sky separately and applied curves by moving the white
highlight dot, on the right, down to 240, then I inverted the
selection. The histogram for the body of the image was a kiddies
snow skiing slope. I pulled the black shadow over to the beginning of
the snow skiing slope and then created a weak "s".

I notice I tend to like thinks white/light. When I finally put the
images on a DVD and view them on my TV, they are really white - almost
hurts your eyes to look at it. Ooops!  Working with curves has really
made me think about what I'm doing.
