• Gamma error in picture scaling

  tags: no_tag

  • the problem: The
    Gimp,
    Adobe Photoshop, CinePaint, Nip2, ImageMagick, GQview, Eye of Gnome,
    Paint and
    Krita. Also three
    different operating systems were used: Linux, Mac OS X and Windows
  • Photographs that have been scaled with
    these software have been degradated. The
    degradation is often faint but probably most pictures contain at least
    an array where the degradation is clearly visible. I suppose this
    happens since the first versions of these software, maybe 20 years ago.

    •Don’t tie your ego to any one project. If it stumbles, you’ll be unable to move forward.

    •Real entrepreneurs fail.

    •Fail a lot. But enjoy yourself along the way.

    •If you handle these things well, “you will succeed.”
