Sun's PNG decoders suck

[Brent_Easton]

Thus spake “Brent Easton”:

I agree. I think it’s probably going to be a lot easier to do in
ImageMagick,
especially if you’re going to to several sheets with the same layout or

if

you’re doing a bunch of other scripted processing after cutting the

sheets.

Actually, my argument was that SplitImage wins the ease of use contest

hands

down, followed by Gimp/Slice (It is practically impossible for the

average Wi

ndows user to install it), followed by ImageMagick running a long way

last

Would you like to find a way to contact the author of SplitImage, then, so
he can fix his bug? I’ve tried, but the only email address I found on his
site (which seems not to have been updated since 2005) bounces.

SplitImage hasn’t changed in years, I think it has ‘stabilized’.

Personally, it is not a problem for me as every image I create with SplitImage is run through Imagemagick before use. This is the recommended usage for anyone wanting to use SplitImage. If you use SplitImage to create actual counter art, your source image is probably pretty crap quality.

I think solving it with documentation is the answer.

It appears that you need Python installed in order to activate the
python-fu
scripts in GIMP. We could provide instructions for that.

Took me two hours to track down and install the required software.

Finally found this link:

photocomix-resources.deviantart. … r-74889017

which provides all of the software needed in one place with installers.
