GEGL calls GMIC, REMBG, AIs or any bash string with our bash plugin

[contrast_]

I know but that website doesn't run through a cli via bash

[contrast_]

I wrote new syntax that blurs the background after running REMBG.

It requires these two plugins of mine to work ideally. This only takes a few seconds on my machine.

Stat regarding a hopeful Windows version


I tested this plugin on Windows and it appears to by default trying to communicate with cmd.exe and not powershell. cmd.exe was rapidly opening and closing. When I typed in powershell --command it froze Gimp indefinitely and an error window popped up about reporting it. We are going to see if we can get a separate Windows version of this plug-in now that we know it at least tries to talk to Windows.

This will be the first GEGL plugin of mine that has two special versions for both Windows and Linux. In every other case what works on Windows works on Linux.

This instructs GEGL to remove a background with REMBG and fix rembg erosion, then blend the fish with the hard light blend mode on saturation followed up by a blue outline.

This requires these two plugins to work

REAL ESRGAN AND IMAGE MAGICK CALLED FROM BASH IN GEGL
Image Magick was called to scale down RealESRGAN 4x to 25% of its original size
so it would fit the original image in Gimp's canvas. I used Lancoz interpolation which is the best Image Magick has.

real_esrgan.png (351.41 KiB) Viewed 41748 times

The original string only works on my computer but I made a modified version that may work on other machines that have REALESRGAN and ImageMagick installed in generic directories.

Bash Command

Code:

realesrgan-ncnn-vulkan -i /tmp/in.png -o /tmp/out3.webp -n realesrgan-x4plus s= 2 && magick /tmp/out3.webp  -filter Lanczos -resize 25% /tmp/out4.webp && gmic /tmp/out4.webp output /tmp/out.png

GEGL Syntax
NA - this stays empty unless you want to put something

I also tested running REALESRGAN, GFPGAN and REMBG at at once and it worked but took over 25 seconds. It probably would have took 30 minutes a few days ago before the update.

Here's GEGL calling an image magick filter followed by GEGL's Sharpen. This loads instantly because it is just a simple lighting filter

UPDATE, THIS CODE REQUIRES GEGL'S BLENDING OPTION TO BE SET TO NORMAL, as opposed to the default replace.


Here is an example of me using the system's GEGL + REMBG then Gimp's GEGL to recolor an object inside the image.

The car goes from Yellow to Aqua Blue.

REMBG AND BASH BOX IN MY GEGL EFFECTS PLUGIN

I got bash box working in an unreleased version of my layer effects engine. GEGL Effects is applying effects after REMBG, but it can also do any other bash string.


Here is the download to my GEGL Effects layer effects engine that does NOT include this update. But soon it will!
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Eff ... L/releases



Now that we know GEGL is capable of doing all this, its safe to say Gimp's future is secured.

[contrast_]

It is so exciting to see REMBG inside an unreleased version of GEGL Effects! Its amazing how these workflows are being automated.

AI IN GEGL EFFECTS

It is working consistent and stable in GEGL Effects. I will push the GEGL Effects December 12 update soon and now everyone gets to see my special Linux Desktop that looks like Windows XP, lol.

Download for the GEGL Effects update with Bash to call AI is here. But it is Linux only and doesn't work on Flatpak

AI_BASH_GEGL_EFFECTS_Linux_only_binaries_code_downloaded.zip

(512.86 KiB) Downloaded 123 times

Location to put binaries (there's a lot of them)

Code:

/home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Then Restart Gimp go to GEGL Operations and look for GEGL Effects Continual Edition. Remember, GEGL Effects is both an image outline tool and a text styling engine but in the case of this I am using it for image outlining. If you already have these binaries overwrite all of them with the latest version.

Remember you need to have the AI installed and remember to check and uncheck the bash checkbox to run the bash command.

Don't bother compiling on windows it won't work there. we tried.

When will a windows version be available?

This only took a few seconds.

and it can save and apply the same setting on anything else.

But it looks like in this case the inner glow is to expansive on the turtle, so users will have to change the original setting.

When will a windows version be available?

If I get a professional to help me call Windows PowerShell. I don't know how to do this, but I guess Liam could try. I am sorry and understand that you want this on Windows.

[contrast_]

The plan now is to get a Windows version using Windows SubSystem for Linux instead of powershell as that can use bash.

This should be obvious to point out that commands that work on one image.

Do not always turn out proper on another image.

Lastly, every time a GEGL preset is made the user still has to manually check and uncheck the bash checkbox in tab 9 and we already discussed way earlier in this thread how it loads the previous image file.

This is now on Github. The same download on Github is also on GimpChat

This bash plugin was not working for a lot of people because the REMBG command changed recently or at least in the past year. months. Here is a list of both rembg commands.

Latest REMBG is

Code:

rembg i /tmp/in.png /tmp/out.png

2022 REMBG is

Code:

rembg /tmp/in.png -o /tmp/out.png

The bash plugin both stand alone and GEGL Effects version updated today. To contain the newest line of code for REMBG in default. This does not count as a new version release.

[contrast_]

We got the plugin working on Flatpak Linux


It requires a special build of the source code linked here that you must manually edit and compile, as well as a package called flatpak-spawn (that you don't need to compile). This code now also contains the GEGL Effects bash build added mid day (dec 31st 2023)

bash_flatpak_requires_code_editing.zip

(316.34 KiB) Downloaded 117 times

If you want Flatpak bash to work for you have to compile and replace "/home/contrast/tmp/" with your username and directory of choice. This is only for flatpak. Non flatpak users don't have to do this. The reason why is because flatpak can't use the /tmp/ directory.

First install flatpak-spawn

Code:

sudo dnf install flatpak-spawn

Code:

sudo apt install flatpak-spawn

Then download this code and open bash-buddy.c and gegleffectspending.c


then replace /home/contrast/tmp/in.png and /home/contrast/tmp/out.png with whatever directory in your own home you like such as this example. /home/john/eggs/in.png /home/john/eggs/out.png

Image shows this "search and replace" process.

this_is_the_way_to_do_it.png (4.94 KiB) Viewed 14561 times

then compile by running build_linux.sh and put the file in /home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins
and restart Gimp and go to GEGL operations.

then if that is the case a command like

Code:

flatpak-spawn --host rembg i /home/john/eggs/in.png /home/john/eggs/out.png

will work. Consider making the directory short as possible. It CANNOT use /tmp/

Lastly if you only want the bash AI plugin without GEGL Effects. Ignore all binaries but bash-buddy and spawn if you want GEGL Effects make use of all the binaries.
