[Gimp-user] Smoothing inked lines?

2010-07-14 Thread Marc Carson
I've been scanning inks into GIMP, then moving them over to Inkscape for tracing to make the lines smoother. Is there a way to do this in GIMP alone? I don't mean vector tracing, just getting rid of the smaller abnormalities or fuzziness around my inked lines. I already scan at 600 dpi. Here's an
