but i hope to update again soon i want add controls for Symmetrical Stained Glass

the idea is simple this is a example of what Stained Glass may do now



this with the option for simmetry



and another ,

basically the idea is to add some magic mirrors

Just replaced your other one with this one; not sure the difference, but in both, Overlay setting doesn't work. Still, I like your preset better then David's original PC. New one still works. Just remember though, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. lol

OOOPPSS fixed now was a typo in the mode name ...thank for the catch

but once added a option to mirror why not to...how to call this ?






Basically at the end a (as always optional ) touch of Tiled Parametrization

I made this with your latest one. I hand mirrored it.

Thanks PC; Overlay is indeed fixed; like it better then soft light.

There is also another difference from the first version , gaussian blur and not only that added by David in the update
the effect of the added blur should be no much intense i wanted slightly soften not a too visible blur,

Overelay was broken by a a sort of automatism
compose hardlight,softlight, overlight...

Sweet thanks PC!

Stained glass robot #2

cool i like mostly the last

Maybe duplicate the layer with the white lines (if is a separate layer ) blur a bit (between 2 and 4px)
and set on top on lighten only mode may add some depth...not sure just a idea passing by

Okay I am not sure if I missed it in here somewhere or what, but I do not remember seeing (Have a bad memory btw), anyone saying how to install these... I have Vista btw... and my Python is in funny location. Or do these go in a GIMP folder?

I got an update that lets me mess around with colors... and well this is what happened

Python has nothing to do with gmic so desn't matter (for gmic) where is
about installing custom filter and preset there is a tutorial here on GC, in the title is written for some reason "linux" but there are instrution also for Windows xp and 7

where I missed it then... Well what would I save it as? and where would I put it... all I really need I think

Found it, and I don't understand it at all...

personally i would not know how to explain better but try to post there your doubts , hopefully other may rephrase what you didn't understand

Hey Willy; G'MIC is a lot like understanding DOS commands. If you started out with DOS in it's earliest days, navigating the various DOS commands such as copy, move, delete, deltree, etc. becomes second hat, but if you are late to the game (only now you decided to buy a computer and it comes with Win7), then you have no base in understanding and the learning curve becomes steeper (still rewarding though). I will give you a hint on this one. There is a file called .gmic (the dot in front of gmic is correct). It is located (in Win7 that is; same for Vista. Just not sure where in XP since I no longer run GIMP in XP) under C:\users\{user account}\AppData\Roaming. I usually use Wordpad to edit this file and then copy the code (in this case, PC's hacked code) inside it and save the result. Below's exactly the contents that I have in this file.

@Lyle: .gmic file has to be created. That is covered on the tutorial. Even .gmic_faves has to be created, IF you have not saved any presets. But for faves, you can create the .gmic_faves file simply by saving a preset in G'MIC. Not the same with the .gmic file.

@Willy: It's hard to answer a question when you don't have the question.

If you scroll back a page or two on this thread, you'll see I summarized the way you add filters to G'MIC, even provided the link to that page and suggested you read. I even explained that even though the suggestions were for "Linux" they also work for Windows, its ONLY the location on your hard drive that matters.

Like PC says, unless you help us understand what it is you don't understand, how are we going to know what else to suggest?

Okay Lyle, I am in that folder, and there is nothing called .gmic
.gmic_faves
.gmic_def.1483
.gmic_def.1482

that is all there is, and I turned on hidden files

Read my last post, before yours, Willy.

Okay, what format do I create this file with... it is a bit more confusing for me using Vista... Creating something for me I have the option for a bunch of stuff and then a Notepad file, which would be my guess, but I created one and called it .gmic, then pasted in PC's code, and then restarted GIMP, and refreshed G'MIC and then didn't see anything different.
