Textfilters in G`MIC? Would be nice to have.

might give a couple things a try then, can always backtrack if there's an angry uprising of gimpsters

More than text filters, I think this could be interesting to have G'MIC filters that operates on simple black and white shapes (text or whatever) and add some relief/textures on them. I don't have so much time to go in this direction, but this is something I already thought about.

oh yes! that would be great! hope someone feels a sudden great urge to write that kind of g'mic filters, i work a lot more with shapes than with text and i would love it if there were filters like that in g'mic too.

is this hijacking the topic?

I'm working on it now actually
And yes bit of a hijack, if I say any more it will be a new thread cos I don't want to spoil this one.

I played around with your gel text, Esper. I added an inverted drop shadow of X & Y = 0, blur = 30, Opacity = 100 and moved it below the bevel layers.

I used black text and then discarded it after doing the bevel and drop shadow.

I made the background, duplicated it and did alpha to selection and inverted and cut the top background layer.

Any here are my results.


I've added the xcf file of my layers if anyone wants to look.

Wow, nice job.

That's a beauty, Oregonian

O: that's really nice looking! very waterdrop-like.

Thank you Molly, Odin and AnMal. I'm thinking we need to get Graechan making us a script for it.
