release 2 of filter for STAINED GLASS is published (updated)

[dinasset]

Hi ladies and gentlemen,
Rod just published the version 2 of my last filter.
What's new:

- removed those prerequisites which currently are available only under Windows
(if the user is NOT running Windows, otherwise those are still there; the filter checks whether the user is running Windows or not)
- added an option to use as BG either the cartoonized layer or the original layer or both
- added an option to have the embellishments active either fully (as in v.1) or partially or not-at-all
- fixed a bug in the frame dimensions calculation
- fixed a bug in the preservation of the original BG (it was cartoonized too)
- fixed a bug in the stretching ancillary routine

Hope you enjoy the new feature.

If someone NON-Windows user can check whether it runs OK, I will be grateful.

As usual, the big part of the tests (in Windows only, unfortunately) has been performed by my friend Issabella; she will soon post some of the outcomes.

here an update to fix a change in a G'mic filter used (cracks)

@Pat
I think you have now the possibility to create stained glass mosaics in the style you prefer: original BG and no embellishments.
Give a try (when connected)

@Dalia
Either you wait for a Partha release with the required used filters compiled in McGimp, or you may try to install this new version 2 and check whether you get it run: neither cartoonizer.exe not MLBevelReflect.exe are used when a non-Windows user is running it, both functions replaced by std possibilities (G'MIC and pattern overlay). Give it a try if you like so.

[Issabella]

Nice results, Dinasset. These are much my style.

[dinasset]

@ SeriousTom
you too will probably find greater opportunities with the various options.
Let us know.

[dinasset]

Nice results, Dinasset. These are much my style.

[Dalia]

I'm going to give this one a try Will let you know or see.

[Issabella]

Thank you Dalia.

It looked like it would work and then... it's probably something I've done on my side but don't understand the following.

[Issabella]

I don't think it's on your side, Dalia. As soon as Dinasset sees this, he will be able to answer about this error.

Very nice outcome doronf, Happy you enjoy this filter.

[Issabella]

Hi mackenzieh, you can get it here, go to the first page and in the centre upper place you see the recent release scripts. If you don't get it, I will do a picture for you.

[Issabella]

This can help, to get the filter from there (in the red circle). I saw your post, but it has disappeared.
