You may have heard of
ClearType, a
method to increase the text-readibility on LC-displays. I was
a little bit disappointed, since it is barely more than normal antialiasing.
So I implemented a small script-fu for the Gimp to use the other extreme:
Simply treat every subpixel of an LC-pixel for its own. This results in
some colorful borders but I think the results are interesting to see.
This script assumes an LC-Display with subpixels in RGB-Order from left
to the right.
I hope the script is handy. Any suggestions and problems to
me.
Grab the Script-Fu script:
lcd-downscale.scm
Some images comparing "classic" downscaling vs. lcd-downscaling. Note that
this should be viewed on LC-Displays, the quality on CRT-Monitors may
be worse.
