ref: https://images.pexels.com/photos/205510 ... jpg&fm=jpg Might have over-compensated for the shadows. lol Believe I figured out a better way to create the dot mask by running G'MIC's b/w dither and using that result to run Shapism. ![]()

I really like this one... How do you make something like this?(Maybe I missed something) |

In G'MIC, there is a preset (under Art subdirectory) called Shapism. The problem with that preset is it usually yields unfocused results. I use another G'MIC preset called b/w dither and feed that into Shapism instead (using transparent background color instead of the default black). Create a mask by chosing Alpha to Selection and highlighting the GIMP toggle selection option, I copy that and then untoggle and selection none. I then paste for the mask. I then run Threashold (moving slider left to brighten) for the mask and run Blend (Shape Average) with original image (Blend (Shape Average) is located in Testing folder>Lylejk; David saved this preset for me when he went another direction with the preset; I like the original behavior better, and definitely appreciate that David saved this preset under the Testing section). I then add layer mask and past the mask in that to smooth out the dots. Maybe the programmer gurus here can automate this flow. I do use a copy of the threshold mask and apply a convolution layered dot set to grain merge to push more details, but that's part of the secret sauce I use. lol Create the convoluton layer by duplicating the original, and on the base layer I run Sharpen (Gradient) and set the top layer to Grain extract and merge down. I then used Blend (Shape Average) on the convolution layer with the threshold mask as mentioned to convert it to dots which I then set to Grain Merge over the colored dot result. This step, again, adds more perceived contrast/details to the dots as a whole (globally that is). ![]() |

:coolthup Oops, ![]() ![]() by the way, How do you choose transparency instead of black? |

Also, you used original as base layer which gives you more perceived details (but cheating). lol Nice birdy, though. ![]() |

Also, wasn't going to share this Gorilla, but why not. Only a clickable link to see it (and didn't want to start yet another thread). lol hirez: https://www.flickr.com/photos/163034485 ... 83/sizes/o https://www.flickr.com/photos/163034485 ... 1658479894 |

OK; will share Mufasa with you all; working on bringing out finer details such as the whiskers; still a work in progress. ![]() https://www.flickr.com/photos/163034485 ... 47/sizes/o ![]() |

Really cool results Pix/Sallyanne. Instead of using dither, I tried using Stamp with 50% grain and got ever closer results to what I'm going for (not sharing those plays since I'm still tweaking). ![]() edit (12 minutes later). OK, here's the same tiger using the new masking technique (and increased the big dot size to 50 from 35). ![]()
