lifeday Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi @null54, slowly the great knowledge about me comes, bit by bit I understand more that I knew it can't work like this, but I didn't know how it really should work. Probably the language barrier comes to the pure application (without any real background what really happens there). A bad mix. Thank you for your patience and willingness to help anyway, even if sometimes you can only shake your head a little :-)))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeday Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi @ScrapbookWithPDN, thank you very much for your detailed description, which can surely be very helpful also for other users. My problem wasn't gmic, but especially the connection of the two pictures in Paint and that's how these pictures are brought to Gmic to get a final picture. I somehow managed to get three final images with a time expenditure of many hours :-))))))) without really knowing what I was doing there. Pixey showed very clearly in her Viedo why I could only fail. I will download that video, translate it into my language and then work step by step and write down the paths to the result image.

Pixey Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I have changed the video now @lifeday so others don't have to wait so long for the end. You can still slow down the parts you'd like to see better.

I followed the suggestion in this post and disabled OpenMP in my builds, it produced a significant improvement in the Stylize filter rendering speed. Version 1.2.1 release notes: Set the entire layer to transparent for images smaller than the layer size. Disabled OpenMP to improve the rendering speed of some G'MIC filters Quote Plugin Pack | PSFilterPdn | Content Aware Fill | G'MIC | Paint Shop Pro Filetype | RAW Filetype | WebP Filetype The small increase in performance you get coding in C++ over C# is hardly enough to offset the headache of coding in the C++ language. ~BoltBait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyReZ Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) @Pixey Kudos for you! A job well done!@lifedayI learn best from seeing a task done. Videos are great for that. You can pause and replay as needed.@null54 Thanks for your efforts to give PDN users a means to using the G'MIC app!

dipstick Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks null54, your latest build is indeed much faster. As a test I combined the two top images to get the bottom image. It is easily 5x faster.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'MIC Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Hello there, I'm David Tschumperlé, the main developer of G'MIC. First, I'd like to thanks @null54 for taking the time to port our G'MIC-Qt plug-in for Paint.Net. Second, I've read all your messages and indeed noticed that the 'Stylize' filter was painfully slow on Windows. We have investigated this issue these last days with people at pixls.us, and hopefully we should have found what was going on. We were using too much mutex locks/unlocks in the multi-threaded algorithm, which was slowing down everything. I'm working hard right now to fix this issue. I hope I will be able to post a pre-release tomorrow (Friday) with the fixes included. If you have any questions related to G'MIC, I'd be happy to answer (depending on the amount of free time I have ). Cheers. EDIT: The G'MIC-Qt plug-in is a product of the GREYC Laboratory, mainly done by Sébastien Fourey and myself, with the help of many contributors.

lifeday Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 @Pixey It works, I can do it, I have tried several different motifs and it really works - very easily and very quickly.

ScrapbookWithPDN Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Wow! How incredibly cool and gracious that you @G'MICcame to the Paint.Net community to introduce yourself and help with your massively incredible plug-in. So many of us are having such a great time exploring it. Other talented members of the forum have also been working hard at helping us with G'MIC in the Paint.Net community. You @G'MIC created such a wonderful thing for so many software users. I wanted to personally thank you, and thank those here behind the scenes to help it run smoother with Paint.Net, and for the selfless giving of your time, to all of you, even the ones who take the time just to try to help others with a post giving some directional help or creating videos @Pixey that further help resolve confusion.

ScrapbookWithPDN Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 @lifeday I absolutely LOVE your dog image you created using G'MIC! It really was worth the effort to preserver on to figure it out. You didn't give up. You kept on and kept trying until you got it and it was totally worth it for the end result! Beautiful blending. Your dog is gorgeous. Nico looks a little like a Goldendoodle. Regardless, he's a beautiful dog. That's obvious. I'm glad you did not give up!

G'MIC Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 @ScrapbookWithPDN, many thanks for the kind words. We have good news to share, as we have been able to fix the various performance issues we got for years on Windows. I'll release a new stable version 2.4.4 of G'MIC tomorrow. Hope you'll notice the improvements with the "Stylize filter" ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrapbookWithPDN Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 That is so fantastic, @G'MIC! I was wondering, and I don't know if you have any say of it, but on the main G'MIC website, for all the downloads of various software, can you also add the download link for Paint.Net on it, as with the listing of the other platforms there are downloads for, if that's possible, when it's up and ready to go? It's not my place, but it can't hurt to just ask, so I did. Regardless, you're so talented and cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeday Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 @ScrapbookWithPDN Thank you for your words. I am really happy that thanks to Pixey's video I understood how it works. The Spanish Water Dog (Perro ) exists since around 80-90 years, and is cultured in Spain. Then the other is the Portuguese Water Dog (Obama had one of those). The dog named by you (Golden-Doodle ) is, as far as I know, bred in Europe in the east and is a quite young breed. If you place a Perro next to one ( Golden-Doodle) then you can easily see the difference between the two breeds. I chose the Perro because of his great, lovable qualities. He is not a hunter but a keeper, he is not a biter but he is self-confident enough to guard a herd. He bows a bell about barkers, they are not interesting for him. For me it was the absolute stroke of luck, because I am not very consistent in the education. This little guy has achieved everything with me through patience and charm. We are together now for 14 years and 5 months and I have not regretted one day to have decided for him. Have a nice day/evening and greetings from Hamburg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
