"Clean Text" multiple layers

G'MIC-Qt Arch/Gnome

Whereas "Repair Scanned document" manages to apply a filter onto all layers one after the other, "Clean Text" weirdly compresses all layers into one single layer. Can this behaviour be replicated? Any idea how to work around this?

Batch change color mode?

Is it possible to change the color mode for a batch of images? I would like to keep the ones in RGB in RGB and change the Indexed ones without having to worry about sorting hundreds of images. It would be better than changing them individually after finding one whose color mode is Indexed and having to change the mode to RGB.

Can Anyone Please Help Me Fix This Problem on GMIC?

I am using the latest version of Krita for my Mac OS 11.7, and I was trying out GMIC that came with the program. On GMIC, I was trying to use this effect called Contour (Extract Foreground [Interactive]. However, I was getting an error message that said,

" *** Error in ./fx_extract_foreground/*foreach/*substitute/x_segment/ *** Command 'x_segment': No display available."

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this problem? Does anyone have this problem too?

Thank you!

Comic Panel Segmentation

Sometimes when I use G'MIC for comic panel segmentation, it doesn't work. How do I adjust it so it will separate them.

Is there a way to install the G'MIC plugin for GIMP on Mac OS?

Hey fellow Mac users and GIMP enthusiasts! I've been diving into GIMP lately and I'm eager to enhance my editing capabilities with the G'MIC plugin. However, I'm struggling to find a straightforward guide on installing it for Mac OS. Has anyone successfully done this, and if so, could you please share your steps or point me in the right direction? Your help would be greatly appreciated! 🖌️💻 #GIMP #MacOS #GMICPlugin #TechHelp

Haven't used the GMIC "hard sketch" filter that much, but...

On this shot of the iconic buildings around Amsterdam's central railway station, I love the effect. I did up the saturation and contrast a bit after GMIC did its "thing".

Gmic x86/32bits for Gimp 2.10.34?

Hello,

I've updated my Gimp from 2.8 to latest 2.10.34 but then I got error messages from gmic at startup. Then, I uninstalled Gmic but I can't find an installer for windows x86/32bits. Any help?

Thx

What am I doing wrong with the GMIC Cutout filter in GIMP?

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Do the photos I'm using suck? Am I importing them in a way that's not working with this filter? Is there something I need to do beforehand that would make it work better? It looks more like an abstract painting or pixel art than a stencil/cutout version of the original image. Playing around with the three setting options doesn't really help much - it either ends up looking exactly like the photo with no adjustments or it is a mess.

Where is the inverse Fourier transform function?

Hello. I'm using latest G'MIC and GIMP, and I have noticed that the inverse Fourier transform function appears to be missing, therefore I cannot return to my original image. Any help? Thanks.

Possible to "stop" an ongoing process and get output as-is?

First and foremost: this tool has completely changed my workflow and I am so grateful for it. Thank you all so much!

I'm using the Photoshop plugin to experiment with some print-sized media and have been running into expectedly lengthy processing issues, even if the filter itself didn't take long to load in the preview. For example, right now I have a process that's been running in the background for over four hours and at this point, I'd rather stop it where it is entirely and see where it got, but I don't think this is possible in the Photoshop plugin GUI.

Totally willing to admit I may be completely misunderstanding how things work behind-the-scenes and what kind of results I'd get from an incomplete render (though much of my work is based on degradation so it might work regardless!), but I just wanted to see if it was possible. I'm comfortable with using a CLI to do this work as well, if there's a flag I can set there instead.

Thank you!

I have a path from an image of my model. How can I fill it with text?

I want to use the path selection I made from the image of a girl and FILL it with text.

I do NOT want to follow the path.

Likewise, I want to limit the text to within this path outline so that the image gets a text overlay.

I do not want the TXT to appear outside the image path boundary.

I do not want the limited box shape for text.

I was hoping G'Mic has an element that can achieve this?

Help applying a filter to all layers for a gif

I'm playing around with filters for gifs on GIMP, installed GMIC to be able to apply a filter on all layers.

However, the filter is only applied to one layer, with all the other layers coming out weird. I attached screenshots to show what's going on.

Is there a GMIC filter that does "Crop to content" like Gimp does?

I know Gimp can do this "auto cropping" but if I want to automate a certain task I need to figure out how to do it in GMIC. Thanks

G'mic requesting libraries libcuuc72, libcuin72 and so on

After installing the plug-in extension, GIMP threw 3 or 4 error messages regarding "Missing library libcuuc72.dll for executable [...]", "Missing library libcuin72.dll for executable [...]", and a couple more. I tried to look up this error, yet Google yielded 1 result about this bug: an user lamenting these errors on the gimp forum a week ago (Link).Main reply was "Reinstall GMIC" or "Reinstall GIMP" or "Delete GIMP user profile directory": these steps mainly only work when a link for a library is broken and/or there is a config error.

I have tried the Installer and manual installation with the zip provided from the web site, yet the result is the same, just like user Philippe D experienced. I am running GIMP 2.10.32 on Win10 x64.

So, Philippe D, if you're reading, I've fixed this "bug" on my own (that is not really a bug, just lack of libraries that should have been included in the release). You only have to download the 3.2.3 qt .zip version from here and add all the libraries in the main plug in folder (the one where gmic exe file is located).So, to sum it up:

  1. Download the .zip archive from the website page's download section.
  2. Manually install the plug in by extracting this archive into L:\path_to_gimp\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\. Final path should look like this: L:\path_to_gimp\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gmic_gimp_qt
  3. Download the .zip archive containing gmic_qt version 3.2.3 from the link provided above.
  4. Navigate the newly downloaded archive till you see a considerable amount of .dll files: copy all the .dll files into the gmic main directory (where gmic .exe file is) and do not substitute the files that are already there.
  5. Done.

Keep in mind that this fixes the issue at the time of writing, so if you see this post in the future things might have changed (still worth a try though in my opinion).

Bridge over untroubled waters - a little love for the photo illustration filter

So, I live in a mid-sized village or even small town I'd say in the North-West of the Netherlands. The village is green and spacious with lots of parks, ponds with ducks but the architecture in most neighborhoods is atrocious. It's this mid-seventies utilitarian neutral building style. There still are some monumental old farms around but they are surrounded on all sides by these typical Dutch housing rows with 6-8 side by side three-storey cookiecutter houses under a common roof along a street. Small stamp-sized garden in front, slightly bigger in the back. All cars parked neatly along the curb.

So far the moaning and groaning. I'm out and about each and every day walking my dog and there certainly IS beauty to behold around here. In every season and at all times of the day, there are small spots which really look inviting and beautiful. So I shoot a lot, all the time, and I try to do things to my images to not only make them stand out a bit more but also highlight the beauty that is there but remains mostly unseen.

So here we have one of the many small municipal ponds, with the ubiquitous ducks as well as a cute little wooden bridge (useless because you can walk around the whole pond in 10 minutes flat) on a wonderful spring day with blue sky and some cloud cover slowly drifting in (rain for the next few days according to the forecast).

I shot with an APS-C camera (Pentax KP) and a manual focus lens, the Irix 30mm/f1.4 to get as much detail as I could. The original raw was converted with Darktable with the tone equalizer used to bring up the shadows a tiny bit and make the overhead branches stand out a little more. The rest was Gmic’s photo illustration filter in Gimp. The layer with photo illustration was overlaid on the original with 60% opacity to tone down the effect a bit.

GMIC split preview not working in Gimp 2.10.32 Flatpak.

Previews in GMIC work but not split previews. This has been the case since day one with Flatpak Gimp. Does anyone notice this problem? All I see is "input layer" and "output mode" nothing to do with split previews like before.

Frames werden nicht gespeichert

Hallo zusammen,

ich habe GmicPlugin_x86 auf meinem Computer und den 8bf-Filter mit Paint Shop pro X9 verknüpft. Die Anwendung funktioniert in fast allen Punkten einwandfrei.

Allerdings werden mir die Frames (painted, blur, smooth) nicht abgespeichert und somit kann ich sie auf meiner Grafik nicht anwenden.

Woran liegt das, wie kann ich das beheben?

Herzlichen Dank für eure Hilfe.
