edges. If you encounter that problem when you use Unsharp Mask, try raising the Radius value to exceed 1.5. A Radius from 1.0 to 2.0 will create thicker lines that may look unnatural on your computer monitor useful when you want to print your image. It’s not uncommon to use a low Amount with a Radius between 1.5 and 2.0 on all images that will be printed in a book, because imagesetters and printers don’t show r’s Man u al 5 0 1 C h a p ter 3 2 Original R=0.5 A=0.5 R=3 A=0.5 R=10 A=0.5 R=20 A=0.5 R=1 A=1.5 R=1 A=2.5 R=1 A=10 R=1 A=0.5 R=2 A=0.5 Figure 32.7 These examples show the result of using different

original file and the project representation inside GIMP. For large PSD files, the loading is now ~1.5 to ~2 times faster. Moreover, GIMP is now capable of load- ing CMYK(A) PSD files (only 8-bit per channel beyond the horizon. Figure 17.136 “Length of Shadow” example (a) Length = 1.0 (default) (b) Length = 1.5 Blur radius After creating the shadow, a Gaussian blur with the specified radius is applied to the the same size as the image. 4. The map layer being active, apply a Gaussian Blur. Here, the default 1.5 pixels is used. 5. Make the map layer invisible and activate the image layer. 6. Open the “Bump Map”
