I have an image that looks ok in gimp, but when I import it in a PDF document I get a staircase effect.

How do I smooth the edges in gimp?

When I maginfy the logo in gimp I see the jagged edges.

I have no idea where to start to fix it.

You could try the unsharp mask. In gimp 1.x it was filters/enhance. In gimp 2.x it appears to be under ScriptFu/Alchemy.

Which 2.x do you use? It is still in filters/enhance here, and the documentation is here: http://docs.gimp.org/en/ch07s06s07.html . The one in ScriptFu/Alchemy seems to be a simpler version without preview. I didn't even know there was a unsharp mask script in scriptfu/alchemy.

Hi,
strycat@gmail.com (2005-04-26 at 1229.34 -0400):

Unsharp mask sharpens... and it is not a joke, but derived from the original photographic laboratory technique: as unfocused version of the negative is applied to the original.

Hi,

When you say you import it into a pdf document, could you detail the process ? In particular, what intermediary file format do you use ? In the (distant) past, pdf could not handle well transparency (IIRC), so it could be something related to alpha channel. Try to "flatten" the image before exporting from gimp.

Sincerely,

Olivier.

I am using "pdflib" which supports all flavors of PNG.

I am getting staircasing effect on the image.

Tried using this but the staircasing effect is still there.

While there is an unsharp mask under ScriptFu/Alchemy (I didn't know that till you said it), in 2.x it is still under Filters-enhance. I'm not sure how they differ.

Whenever I place images into documents they always seem to degrade in quality. I'm talking about Word .DOC or Adobe .PDF, etc.

Maybe it has something to do with how those formats deal with compression? Or maybe something to do with dimensions (image too big?), palettes (shares colours with document?), or resolution (pixels per inch).

I would try and get support for importing images into a PDF (Adobe forums). I don't think GIMP can help much, but you can try!
