i did not see any options while installing gmic to set it to multicore - where might i find this? thank you for replying!
You are right now gmic support parallel processing BUT not all filters have options to control it
It is not a global option, you may found a example in Repair>smooth[ Anisotropic] there "Parallel Processing" and "Spatial Overlap" are the related controls
I didn't follow much the implementation of Parallel Processing ,to the point to ignore if the filters as FT that have not a explicit controls for parallization are hardcoded to use its "automatic " option... or not
, anyway if Fourier is a filter you intend use often may be the case to try :
Do you have also the command line Gmic ?
If you have i would ask the code to run FT optimized for 4 cores, if that works well may be possible revise the filter
I did write some gmic filter, but i didn't follow this part on ""Parallel Processing" but here are many other that in case may help
You have first to see if is worth, trying from command line to run fourier transform optimized for your 4 coresand you have also to test the ideal "spatial overlap" (to avoid "nobody man land" in between the part edited by the different cores,)
Command line is not my piece of cake , so don't ask me the exact command,luckily are power users here that know better .
Nevertheless if that solve (intending that support better larger images and is quicker) i may try to revise the plugin filter to integrate P.P controls
