- This filter is found in
- <span class="guimenuitem">Image>Filters/Colors/<span class="accel">S</span>emi-Flatten</span>
- It is available if your image holds an Alpha channel
- (Image>Layers/Transparency/Add an alpha channel).
- Otherwise, it is greyed out.
- </p>
- <p>
- The Semi-flatten filter helps those in need of a solution to anti-aliasing
- indexed images with transparency. The GIF indexed format supports complete
- transparency (0 or 255 alpha value), but not semi-transparency (1 - 254):
- semi-transparent pixels will be transformed to no transparence
- or complete transparence, ruining anti-aliasing you applied to the logo you
- want to put onto your Web page.
- </p>
- <p>
- Before applying the filter, it's essential that you should know the background
- color of your Web page. Use the color-picker to determine the exact color.
- Click and drag this color from the Web
- page to the Toolbox ForeGround color. Invert FG/BG colors so that BG color is
- the same as Web background color.
- </p>
- <p>
- Semi-flatten process will combine FG color to layer (logo) color,
- proportionally to corresponding alpha values, and will rebuild correct
- anti-aliasing. Completely transparent pixels will not take the color. Very
- transparent pixels will take a few color and weakly transparent
- will take much color.
