| palhmbs | doctormo, you about? | 19:38 |
| palhmbs | I was wondering if there is any way to make a text graphic look good with gimp? | 19:39 |
| palhmbs | even if I increase the resolution, the text in a gif looks pixelated - it's on a transparent background.... | 19:39 |
| thorwil | hello palhmbs | 19:45 |
| thorwil | if you show me the image and perhaps explain the steps taken, i might be bale to help | 19:45 |
| doctormo | palhmbs: I am about | 19:47 |
| doctormo | palhmbs: How did you make the image? | 19:48 |
| palhmbs | with gimp - just created a text element - then exported it as jpg | 19:49 |
| palhmbs | it's white on transparent | 19:49 |
| palhmbs | the effect is ugly | 19:49 |
| thorwil | palhmbs: jpg introduces artifacts, worst and most obvious on edged showing strong contrast | 19:51 |
| palhmbs | is it best to use svg - with text converted to paths instead? | 19:52 |
| palhmbs | or are their other formats / ways of doing this that doesn't introduce those artifacts... | 19:52 |
| thorwil | palhmbs: gif and png do well with strong contrast | 19:53 |
| thorwil | png isn't limited to 256 colors as gif is, afair | 19:54 |
| palhmbs | i'll try a png thanks | 19:54 |
| palhmbs | png is just fine - that's great - thanks | 20:00 |
| thorwil | np | 20:02 |
| thorwil | this seems to be one of the better articles about the differences: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/30941/whats-the-difference-between-jpg-png-and-gif/ | 20:06 |
| palhmbs | this is a cool command - find . -size +100k -exec gimp {} \; | 22:30 |
| palhmbs | just figured out how to do it... | 22:31 |
| palhmbs | mogrify -quality 40 +profile "*" --- is also awesome specially if you combine it with find -exec -- :D | 22:48 |
| BlueBomber7 | Welcome to batch image processing ;) | 23:01 |
| palhmbs | thank you | 23:22 |
| palhmbs | I've done a bit of imagemagick stuffs before :D | 23:23 |
| palhmbs | I drag a pic of the current cloud & sun position on earth -- http://static.die.net/earth/rectangular/ --- then grab an image of the isobaric pressures and make it transparent and white and overlay and combine --- http://paulhomebus.developingcraftsmanship.com/ | 23:25 |
| palhmbs | http://static.die.net/earth/rectangular/ \== http://www.die.net/earth/ | 23:26 |
| palhmbs | I also chop the image up and rejoin them - so that the image centers on a location (New Zealand) | 23:27 |
