Hello all!
Though not related specifically to SUSE... Can anyone offer any ideas for image enhancement tools? Something more robust than Gimp? I have an image (a digital photograph) I need to enlarge and enhance -- an image that appears to be some sort of logo or TM design. Ideas?
As always, TIA for any hints/ideas.

As a first step, have a lool at autotrace:
http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/
which is a porgram to convert various bitmap formats:
"BMP, TGA, PNM, PPM, PGM, PBM and those supported by ImageMagick"
into various vector formats:
"Postscript, svg, xfig, swf, pstoedit, emf, dxf, cgm, mif, p2e
and sk".
Once you have a suitable vector format (especially xfig) you can
then manipulate it (PostScript can theoretically be manipulated,
though in practice this can be very difficult), and it will stand
being rescaled without loss of quality (relative to the resolution
of the display/print device).
Good luck!
Ted.
