Description Raphaël Quinet 2005-05-04 22:03:50 UTC 
Most of the images that I convert to indexed mode (various diagrams, logos and
other computer-generated figures) tend to have more flat areas of uniform color
than areas with color gradients.  These areas look bad with dithering, so most
of the time I have to switch from the default dithering to None.

If most users are converting images with many flat areas rather than
photographic images or images with a lot of gradients, then it would be better
to change the default in this dialog to None.

Note: a related but more complex suggestion is in bug #66261.

This change would also affect the indexing that is performed from the Export
dialog. Just something that should be considered...
Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2005-05-21 00:38:46 UTC 
Noone objected so this seems to be the right thing to do:

	* app/dialogs/convert-dialog.c: 
	* libgimp/gimpexport.c (export_convert_indexed): changed default
	dithering to GIMP_NO_DITHER (bug #303063).
