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 far as TMs and logos usualy are stored in vector graphic format, maybe you should look at OpenOffice Draw or Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org).

Thanks, but it's a digital picture of -- what appears to be -- a logo or TM design. I'm not sure what the image is, hence the need for enhancement. Thanks though. -- Christopher Shanahan

Uhhh Exactly what is wrong with Gimp?? I don't think you are going to find anything else even close to Gimp.

I don't recall saying that anything was _wrong_ with Gimp. On the contrary, I use it quite frequently. Don't make my original post/question out to be something it is not. Please. -- Christopher Shanahan

But you were implying/saying that gimp would do what you wanted (whetever that is) and that you wanted something more 'robust'. This implies you want something better than gimp.

I wasn't trying to _imply_ anything. I'll try to choose my words better next time. Okay?

So, to rephrase, just what won't gimp do that you want to do????

Well, as I said, I need to enlarge a digital image all the while decreasing the blur (noise) as much as possible, so I can see the logo in the digital picture. I'm going through the info related to ImageMagick's many tools as I type this. I'm getting better results with ImageMagick's tools then I was getting with Gimp. Now, that's not to say that Gimp can't do what I want. I did the best I could with Gimp but I still couldn't discern the logo. I was looking for something more specific to my needs (i.e. -convert). -- Christopher Shanahan
