Make sure your image is in 16 or 32-bit mode, under image->precision.

When i tried, i found i got blotchiness in some images, as if the
filter was running at a lower resolution and pixellated things.

It might be worth a bug report, as clearly we want the filter to be
useful :)

Or if you discover an answer, please let us know.

In the copy of my post I got from the list mailer the URL is not cut, so
things happened on your end. Hence not a typo but likely your mail reader.

Cut on the 72th column, anyone still doing Fortran?

Forgive me, but I'm not at all certain where and how best to do this.

me sort what i'm getting wrong.

when i use the shadow control to bring detail out of the muck, past a
certain point it also adds blotchiness to areas such as the sky. should i
try to generally select the areas i want to de-shadow, or is there some
other control or setting that will help with this? the three sliders at
the bottom of the control, white point, radius, and compress, are not
particularly intuitive to me, but i'm guessing some relief might be found
there.

i suppose i could experiment, but i thought if the answer is known and
simple i needn't try to discover it.

thanks in advance.

Right, yes. I was thinking more as to the importation of a jpeg, 
improvement of it in GIMP, and exporting as a .png or suchlike, to 
preserve the gradations introduced in GIMP. Which is to say that I'd like 
to set a GIMP default to 32 bits while in GIMP, no matter the bit depth of 
the original image. Does this make sense?
