GEGL Effects lite is officially in Gimp 2.99.19 latest.

[contrast_]

UPDATE - PROGRESS ON THIS IS HAPPENING NOW

Remember the terminology to understand this post
GEGL Effects (my layer effects plugin for Gimp)
GEGL Styles ( the branch of GEGL Effects designated for Gimp 3 that is not public)
zzstrokebevelimage (the special outline dependency that both effects and styles use)

---
I am struggling but making progress in baking in GEGL Styles special outline "zzstrokebevelimage" all by myself. This will get rid of the dependency "zzstrokebevelimage" that is in GEGL Effects. GEGL Styles will only require these three binaries and obviously the user will never see them as they will be part of GEGL official. Blendable Chamfer and Inner Shadow are not hidden operations and will be counterparts to my plugins (lb:bevel) and (lb:innerglow)



We are getting really close to the day that GEGL Styles gets baked into Gimp 2.99.

I successfully baked in zzstrokebevelimage into GEGL styles. It should be submitted to Gimp's team (and accepted) soon.

Here is a image preview of GEGL Styles destined for Gimp 2.99.
It has three modes

1. "Color, Outline and Shadow"

2. "Bevel and Inner Glow"

3. "Image File upload and Outline Bevel"






PREVIEW WITH SOLVED BUG NOTE

[contrast_]

As of today I consider the special port of my layer effects engine "GEGL Styles" for Gimp 2.99 to be complete.

This is a image preview of it. I will be sending the code to Gimp's team tomorrow or in a few days at best after I get done spending hours testing it for bugs. They are expecting it but they don't know when.



Wish me luck, though I can say with high confidence it will be accepted.


I can't release the code in public but here are documents about the plugin. These documents talk about all the sliders and options the filter will have. It is somewhat different from GEGL Effects.

Good luck C (in every endeavour)!

Its not done yet, I'm trying to add new blend modes to GEGL Styles bevel. I just figured out how to add more with GEGL only non gimp blend modes. It is a lot harder but doable using a trick I found.

*update mid day 9-24-2023. It is all ready to be submitted to Gimp's team and we have new GEGL blend modes Hard Light and Darken for the bevel.

Still amazed by what you achieved

Inner Glow was accepted in GEGL officially. GEGL Styles was not (yet) but its Inner Glow was.

[contrast_]

gegl:bevel, gegl:custom-bevel and gegl:sharp-bevel's algorithm was all put in one plugin to replace gegl:chamfer which was accepted in June-July 2023.

Put simply, three plugins of mine were merged into one plugin that was officially accepted into GEGL just now

well its finally happening my plugins are ending up in GEGL officially and very soon the main layer effects engine may join once I make complex changes too it.

Great to see it happening, congratulation, well deserved and thanks a lot for your hard work

The Inner Glow in GEGL officially conflicts with my plugin because both .c files share the same name. How sad! I hope it gets fixed because the plugin version and official version are not co-compatible

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gegl/-/issues/364

This report on GNOME's website is simply saying that the file inner-glow.c needs to be renamed so official inner glow doesn't remove the plugin inner glow.

GEGL Effects lite is leaving workshop and will be in Gimp 3 RC1 (release candidate ) released sometime in April or possibly May

GEGL Styles is done receiving micro tweak updates... The final small update is to fix a bug so it works on adjustment layer groups. The way it appears now is how it will appear in Gimp 3/GEGL 4.50. You'll know if you have the final version of GEGL Styles if you can use it on Adjustment Layer Groups in 2.99.19x
