Reptorian's G'MIC Code Workshop

[lifeday]

@Reptillian Works wonderfully, I have tried out your data as well as various others - I like it. Thanks for Embass Relief!

Hello @Reptillian,

 

The Embass Relief does not work in color in the latest gmic for gimp version.
Here on paint.net it works great!

Since I do not use GIMP as my main program at all nor installed G'MIC there, can you please file a issue in here - https://github.com/Reptorian1125/gmic-community

 

Insert details like what does it do when you tried the relief mode? What do you expect? Error message? You can also post a log.

There, I believe I should have fixed it. Here, meanwhile, you could do this to verify for me. First update gmic, then do these steps.

 

1) Type in "%appdata%/gmic" in Windows Explorer

2) If you have something like Kate or notepad++, right-click, and click edit updatexxxx.gmic where xxxx represent latest .gmic version.

3) Search "#@gui Emboss-Relief"

4) Replace the existing code by highlighting it, and then copy and paste this

#@gui Emboss-Relief : fx_emboss_relief, fx_emboss_relief_preview(0)
#@gui : sep = separator(), Enable Extreme Emboss or Relief? = bool(0), sep = separator()
#@gui : Angle = float(0,0,360)
#@gui : Depth (%) = float(100,0,500)
#@gui : Depth (%) = float(500,500,5000)
#@gui : Smoothness = float(0,0,10)
#@gui : Invert Embossing? = bool(0)
#@gui : Preserve Alpha? = bool(1)
#@gui : sep = separator(), note = note("Relief Section")
#@gui : Apply Relief? = bool(1)
#@gui : Blending Opacity (%) = float(100,0,100)
#@gui : sep = separator(), Preview Type = choice("Full","Forward Horizontal","Forward Vertical","Backward Horizontal","Backward Vertical","Duplicate Top","Duplicate Left","Duplicate Bottom","Duplicate Right","Duplicate Horizontal","Duplicate Vertical","Checkered","Checkered Inverse"), Preview split = point(50,50,0,0,200,200,200,0,10,0)
#@gui : sep = separator(), note = note("<small>Author: Reptorian.      Latest Update: <i>2019/3/19</i>.</small>")
fx_emboss_relief : repeat $! l[$>] split_opacity if $8 +em[0] {$6?$2+180:$2},{$1?$4/100:$3/100},$5 blend[^1] grainmerge,{$9/100} else em[0] {$6?$2+180:$2},{$1?$4/100:$3/100},$5 fi if $7 a c else k[0] fi endl done
fx_emboss_relief_preview :
gui_split_preview "fx_emboss_relief $*",${-3--1}
u "{$1}"\
"{$2}"\
"{$3}_"{$1==1?0:2}\
"{$4}_"{$1==1?2:0}\
"{$5}"\
"{$6}"\
"{$7}"\
"{$8}"\
"{$9}_"{$8==1?2:1}\
"{$10}{$11,$12}"

Sorry, I didn't realize you weren't on Gimp. I go here at Paint. net and also at Gimp in Gmic - Testing. And there I tried your filters - they look great in processing.  Well, short and sweet, I thought it would interest you that in Gimp "Emboss" in the latest version is not executed in color. It appears "time out" and it is time out.  I didn't mean to annoy you! I will address my text to Github. Maybe it will help. If not, it's OK too, because Emboss runs great on my main portal Paint.Net.

Thank you for your execution. Sorry, I can't do that. I am a pure user and understand instructions when they show me exactly how to proceed. 
I tried yesterday and the day before yesterday to add the latest version of Gmic to Gimp, it didn't work. I watched on several videos about Gmic installation and only my daughter gave me the final tip. So  -  on Gimp is the newest Gmic version. 
I have to pass when it comes to changing it. I'm sorry, I would have liked to do it, but it just comes out chaos with me, so I keep my hands off it.

 

Have a nice day!

Dear Seerose,

 

Thank you very much for your appreciation. I was very happy to  here  from you. 
I wish you a wonderful Sunday evening and tomorrow a good start into the new week.

@lifeday Another update! Samj at discuss.pixls forum found the solution. It's settled - https://discuss.pixls.us/t/reptorian-gmic-filters/9165/96?u=reptorian

 

The solution was to add 'to_a'. You don't need to file issue or verify that it works. All is fine and dandy now. The reason why I had to add 'to_a' is that GIMP has this weirdness where layers could have no alpha channel at all, and that's not the behavior of literally almost every other application that works with alpha channels. That's the downfall of G'MIC scripting unfortunately, though its universality makes it worth pursuing in the end.

Thank you very much for the news - but the problem has not got better but much worse. About Gimp I will not post the result here, it is worse than what I get here on paint.net as a result. I put a try from yesterday in paint.net and another try from today. Judge for yourself what is more beautiful. My judgement stands! 

Emboss Relief can now be found under Faves, which is very practical. 

 

(Left Embass Relief yesterday, right Embass Relief now.

@Reptillian

It didn't leave me alone, so I tried the filter again. The result is again what it should be. Thank you for your effort. The result is worth it!

That's not the same filter. Update using the arrow that looks like the recycle icon. Then, type in search 'emboss', you'll see my filter under Testing -> Reptorian -> Emboss-Relief

[Seerose]

 @Reptillian!

 

Thank you so much.  

 

[lifeday]

 

Now I've tried Paint.net again and found out for myself,  if you reduce blending, the colors come out super again.

[Seerose]

@lifeday!

 

You are completely right. Just be patient and play with different settings over and over again.

(Sorry I'm out of Reps right now.)
 

[lifeday]

Dear @Seerose

 

I just came back to Paint.net and I am happy to see that your problem has already been solved.  
 I was unhappy with the colors and so I tried some more. I shut down "Blending" and so the colors true to picture and

adjusted them here.

Have a ice evening!

Unexpected news. The main maintainer of G'MIC has added new commands which means there'll be even more updates on the upcoming new updated color modulo texture. He made rgb2ryb/ryb2rgb, and he also added a new feature with apply_channel which is that you can apply command to ryb model.

 

Color modulo texture will have RYB - Additive mode ; RYB - Subtractive Mode ; RYB - Painting Pigment Based Mode.

 

The last one is based on my own command translating pigment based codes.

 

What this means is that you'll have the option to use Yellow instead of green. The first 2 don't lose any colors. The last one loses blue-green solely because of its property.

Beautiful, huh?

Disregard earlier message about get cli. It's replaced with a different command.

That is pretty neat @Reptillian!  I couldn't tell it was a car until I sat back in my chair.

 

Lots of little images in there...I see heads, gradients and well, just lots of stuff!  

 

Can't wait till it's finished so I can try it out.  

[Reptillian]

All I need to do is to find out how to import pictures specifying only the directory on the GUI filter. I don't know how to do that yet. I changed the algorithm, and it is vastly improved in accuracy.

 

 

Note that there's more random pictures, but also more clarity. You can also specify dithering factor. Also, note that the picture is transparent. Yes, it supports alpha images too. For target, and reference pictures.

Submitted pull request to G'MIC Community so that mosaic filter can be tested soon. Also, aspect ratio cropping is another new filter of mine, and the command was used in mosaic filter.

 

Also, there's a bug with mosaic filter. I don't know why the end result shrinks. But, it isn't coming from my end since it works fine without folder input option assuming 3 or more images are used using 'All' input layers inside GIMP, and Krita. So, Paint.NET users will need to hold out a bit for a working version. You may have to manually resize the image. There's still the option of copying the mosaic code which I will copy and paste into here if there's any filter developers interested into such a filter.

 

#@cli rep_mosaic_gen: autocrop_median_bool[0=Do not autocrop||1=Autocrop by median],aspect_ratio_linear_interpolation[0=Nearest Neighborhood||1=Linear],0>=dithering>=1,image_scale_interpolation,0>=tile_width,0>=tile_height

Fixing notes

[Reptillian]

News! I found the workaround to the folder input bug though I learned that because of getting around this bug, it seems that I might need to recode again for the 4th time.

Removed because bad image link.
