Hi,
I am trying to print the equivalent of a value swatch for graphite and charcoal drawings that I do and I am still fairly new to Gimp.
Ultimately when I posterize a black and white image with say 7 levels I am trying to get a print out of the 7 grey values used in the posterized image so I can match to graphite and charcoal values of my pencils and tools.
My question(s) around this:
- apart from indexing the image, creating a colour palette and then using gradients to print the colour palette, is there an easier way to be able to print out the grey values used?
- if I have multiple black and white images all using 7 layers when I posterize the image, will all images automatically have the same 7 values or will they be different slightly for each image?
Really appreciate any help on this.
Cheers,
Topher
