bleedthrough text

#b08b50
#b99866
#be9572
#cfae86

example convert line

convert jld-p153.tif -fuzz 3% -fill white -opaque “#b08b50” -opaque “#b99866” -opaque “#be9572” -opaque “#cfae86” jld-p153.pnm

You’ll see a warning like this:

convert: jld-p153.tif: unknown field with tag 40961 (0xa001) encountered. `TIFFReadCustomDirectory’ @ coders/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/521

You can safely ignore it.

Note that the following rgb values are the same as the above hex ones, but seem to do something funky when I try to use them with the ‘convert’ cli tool.

rgb(176,139,80)
rgb(185,152,102)
rgb(190,149,114)
rgb(207,174,134)

non-bleed-through staining or other oddness

#cda55d
#b29877
#ada59a
#bdab87
#b8aea4

the above tweaking doesn’t seem to have a big impact on the final product

side-by-side svg files. the one on the left has had a lot of color tweaking done to the initial convert step, while the nearly-identical one on the right has had nothing.
