Beautiful, mahvin. Is that what is called a snowy owl?

Yes, ma'am. Indeed a snowy owl. I am a member of Webshots, have been for 10 years, so lots of professional pictures to choose from. Downside is you need a premium account to get the large prints.

Why my last post vanished?

anyway
Oregonian the last 2 are excellent
Mahvin the Owl come out really well

Ink Wash should be included in next gmic 1.4.7.1, that new version should also fix some issues with selection and multiple input/output

If it comes with 4.7.1 will we have to delete that .gmic file in app data folder then?
Or will it still work ok?

In general you may mantain both just slightly changing the names if are identical see here

#@gimp Contrast Swiss Mask : contrast_swm , contrast_swm(0)
#@gimp : sep = separator ()


#@gimp : sep = separator ()
#@gimp : Blur the mask = float(2,0.5,10)
#@gimp : sep = separator ()
#@gimp : sep = separator ()
#@gimp : note = note ("Contrast Mask need the negative of the mask")
#@gimp : SKIP to use the mask to boost = bool(false)
#@gimp : note = note ("Uncheck for Contrast Mask,Check for Contrast Boost")
#@gimp : sep = separator ()
#@gimp : sep = separator ()
#@gimp : note = note("Merge the Mask")
#@gimp : Intensity = float (1,0,1)

contrast_swm :
--luminance -to_rgb
-blur_xy[1] $1,$1
-if {$2==0} -negative[1] -elif {$2==1} -gimp_do_nothing -endif
-reverse[-2,-1] -gimp_compose_hardlight[-2,-1] $3

the name are in red , "Contrast Swiss Mask " is the name used in the filter list, changing is not compulsory but avoid confusion in the filter list
contrast_swm[/b] need to be edit if you want both (you may just remove or add a letter)

In this case anyway i would not remove the gmic file but just cancel the filter code, new version will be identical but for a couple of bugfix so not much reason to have both..., anyway the gmic file ready to host new filters may be handy

PS
i used another code to explain just because i had ready in the clipboard and was shorter

This filter produces a great effect. Well done!!
I especially like impressionist art and some of these images are very monet-esk.

I remember some photos you had of your camellias GnuTux. They would be pretty ran through the filter. I also remember one had an interesting bug on it.

PhotoComix I was trying to run an image through Ink Wash and my results were like I had desaturated rather than used the filter. The preview looked OK but the final image didn't.

I refreshed G'MIC to make sure all was up to date and when I looked for the Ink Wash filter it was gone. It was there, I even posted an image of it here.

Check in Presets/Testing section, there is the new version (i believe updated by David becouse i didn't ..i was going to do but i saw was no more needed)
