Blured text after rotation

Post by XnRoot »

Hi,

i have a lot of scanned comics here and sometimes i have to rotate the page a little bit (offen only 0.1 or 0.2 degrees). after that very offen the text is a little but blurred. when i use gimp for that i have the same problem, but here i can change the interpolation method and get better results. i can't find any option like this in xnview. anti-alias is enabled, without anti-alias i can only rotate with higher steps (1.0 or 2.0 degrees). but doing this with gimp is annoying.

Here are the three examples. i only made screenshots of the first panel and the screenshot from gimp is bigger. the difference is not very high, i couldn't find a better example. first is gimp rotate 0.2 with lohalo interpolation. second is the original and third is xnview also rotated 0.2 degrees.

This option is activated. without it i can't rotate an image in steps smaller than 1. steps like 0.1 or 0.5 are ignored.

XnRoot is referring to an option for GIMP's Transform Tools which allows the user to specify interpolation methods called LoHalo and NoHalo.

Is there a way to change the interpolation method at the moment or do you want to add this as a new feature?
