G'MIC GREYC's image effects PLUGIN

[ScrapbookWithPDN]

Hi. I saw this and, knowing NOTHING about code writing, I noticed it seemed associated with C++ and I think PDN uses C++? I was wondering, since this pile of effects seems associated with a number of Windows based software, could this be written to also be a plugin for PDN? Thank you. ...and, remember, I'm clueless about most of the developing process, but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

Paint.net actually uses C#.

 

However, C# can interop with C++ exports, so yes, a plugin could potentially use libgmic.

In Linux, it is possible to use G'mic as a standalone program. I have a shortcut on my desktop for G'mic. I can drag any image to it and it will open it in G'mic to apply any filters, then export finished image. I use a terminal command gmic_qt for the shortcut. Perhaps it may also work in Windows somehow?

 

Other options is to use Krita or Gimp as both support G'mic plugin. Even Natron has a G'mic plugin. But yea, it would be great if someone was able to write a plugin to use G'mic in PDN.

It should. Both Qt and G'MIC support Windows. You'd just have to compile it yourself, since they don't provide binaries for download.
