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  considerably
       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.
