-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am having a major problem trying to edit a postscript image. I have a journal article, pdf format, that I've converted to postscript. There is a figure in this paper that I need. I cannot extract it with tools like pdfimages (don't know why this particular figure is immune but it will not come out with that tool). The only way I can get it is to open up the postscript page that the figure is on and crop it down to just the figure.
I have tried and tried to use Gimp but quite honestly, the output/results from the Gimp or horrible and unusable. The image, on the page in postscript form, produced with pdf2ps, is beautiful. The lines are smooth and the text is sharp and readable. Run it through the Gimp, however, and the figure is rendered into trash. The text becomes stairstepped with gaps, and finer lines vanish. I don't understand why pdf2ps can create such a beautiful postscript image of a page (text AND figures) but the Gimp butchers it so badly. I NEED this figure. Is there another tool available to linux that can edit postscript images? All I need to do is crop the ps image/file to be just the figure. praedor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+Ale9mkm5RO1gX9cRAqNDAJ4zBQtYpXhRjAhNtsvMxnT/FBGrcwCeJgR7 mNHkcS7gvjeghOyMucK94X4= =p2FC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
