[Gimp-print-devel] dithering stuff

[Robert L K. <rl...@al...>]

I ran a few experiments just now.  For the test patterns that I use,
I've found that ordered dither works very nicely, but I just tried
printing a thumbnail of a photograph, and the ordered dither looks
awful.  Random Floyd-Steinberg works best for that.

This should come as no real surprise to anyone, but I think that
having the choice of dithering algorithms really comes in handy.  At
some point this should feed into a set of default profiles for
photographs, line art, etc. (which we have a start on).

I'm really looking forward to (hopefully) getting your stuff, Raph!
