NAME
gimpprint-imagetypes - Gimp-Print image types
DESCRIPTION
Gimp-Print includes several image types which can be used
to optimise the dither, depending on the type of image you
wish to print.
IMAGE TYPE
Possible values are:
- Value Description
------------------------------------------------1 Line art (color or gray scale)
2 Primarily solid colors or smooth gradi - ents (color or gray scale)
- 3 Continuous-tone photographs (color or
- gray scale)
- Option 0 is the fastest. It generates strong, but not
particularly accurate, colors. There may be some fairly
sharp color transitions in this mode. - Option 1 generates more accurate colors, but is slower.
- Option 2 generates the most accurate colors, but is con
siderably slower. - Note that any of the modes may be used with either color
or black & white output. If black and white output is
requested, but a color mode used, composite color will be
printed. This generally offers smoother tone, but less
purity of gray or black, than pure black ink. Further
more, it is possible to tune the color of the gray (to
achieve warmer or cooler effects) using the color controls
in this fashion.
