A minor annoyance I had to deal with is when I am attempting to use blur effects on layers with transparent areas - instead of assuming that the transparent areas have no color worth blurring at all, GIMP seems to assume that they are black for the purpose of the blurring algorithm - which can cause some rather ugly side effects.
To see what I am talking about, start with a new image with a white background. Create a new, transparent layer, and place a pure white object on it (such as a white circle). Now apply any blur function to it. What you will see are some gray boundary areas around your white object, depending on what parameters you used for the blur effect. Now in _my_ opinion, what ideally _should_ happen is that you see nothing at all in this case - the white of the object should be a bit more spread out with a greater graduation of the object's transparency in the boundary areas, but there shouldn't be any discolorations. Is there some way to achieve this with GIMP? - Jürgen Hubert Art Tutorial Wiki: http://artwiki.wikidot.com _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
