NAME
       gimpprint-imagetypes - Gimp-Print image types

DESCRIPTION
       Gimp-Print  includes several image types which can be used
       to optimise the dither, depending on the type of image you
       wish to print.

IMAGE TYPE
       Possible values are:

       Value   Description
       -------------------------------------------------
       1       Line art (color or gray scale)
       2       Primarily  solid colors or smooth gradi-
               ents (color or gray scale)
       3       Continuous-tone  photographs  (color  or
               gray scale)

       Option  0  is  the  fastest.  It generates strong, but not
       particularly accurate, colors.  There may be  some  fairly
       sharp color transitions in this mode.

       Option 1 generates more accurate colors, but is slower.

       Option  2  generates the most accurate colors, but is con-
       siderably slower.

       Note that any of the modes may be used with  either  color
       or  black  &  white  output.  If black and white output is
       requested, but a color mode used, composite color will  be
       printed.   This  generally  offers smoother tone, but less
       purity of gray or black, than pure  black  ink.   Further-
       more,  it  is  possible  to tune the color of the gray (to
       achieve warmer or cooler effects) using the color controls
       in this fashion.
