Incorrect RGBA resampling in Map Object plug-in
Last modified: 2005-01-01 21:56:06 UTC
If two pixels have different opacity values (alpha channel), then their colors are not averaged correctly by the Map->Map Object plug-in. The problem is already visible in the preview window. It looks like the RGB channels are resampled without taking the opacity into account. As a result, the (invisible) color of a transparent pixel can bleed into an opaque pixel. The resulting image is incorrect. See bug #70335 for some test images and a longer description of the problem. This problem affects many other tools and plug-ins.
The solution depends on how bug #105577 will be resolved, because most of the problems are buried in gimp_bilinear_rgba ().
2003-02-18 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org> Applied patches from David Necas <yeti@physics.muni.cz> that fix incorrect RGBA resampling in a number of plug-ins: * libgimpcolor/gimpbilinear.c (gimp_bilinear_rgba): fixes RGBA resampling in Map Object and Lighting Effects plug-ins (#72876 and #105496). * plug-ins/common/curve_bend.c: fixes bug #72863. * plug-ins/common/deinterlace.c: fixes bug #72856. * plug-ins/common/gauss_iir.c: fixes bug #72848. * plug-ins/common/gauss_rle.c: fixes bug #72849. * plug-ins/common/iwarp.c: fixes bug #72865 (except preview, see comment). * plug-ins/common/mblur.c: fixes bug #72850. * plug-ins/common/pixelize.c: fixes bug #72851. * plug-ins/common/polar.c: fixes bug #72866. * plug-ins/common/ripple.c: fixes bug #72868.
