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 considerably
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.
