Glad to release my second "filter of the year 2024"
As I said when releasing my first one, during this year I will try to post various filters, either completely new or as a reshuffling of old existing code.
As usual I benefit from the support of my co-teamer Issabella, for the tests (before publishing it) and for the presentation of the various possible outcomes (after publishing it).
Thanks a lot my precious friend.

This filter gives to the user the possibility to apply to an image an effect which I called "WaterSketch", using G'mic fiters.
The user can choose among many options (see next post).

Here the code, zipped.

Note for the users who do not have an high performance computer:
the process is slow, about 3 minutes run, but it depends from the source inage:
- for images having a size of 3500 (width+height) and more, the runtime is stable, because the fiter uses a working image of 3500 (width+height)
- for images having a size < 3500, the runtime is proportionally reduced, because the filter uses the original size
During my tests I used often small images.

note: the DIVIDE mode can sometimes give interesting results, just try it, but we believe it can be used rarely

Just a little note for those who do not have downloaded this filter:
- did you have a deep look into the outcomes created by Issabella with this filter?
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=20719
Some are so impressive for their proximity to real paintings, and modern in style.

I really had expected some outcomes done by the friends who downloaded the filter, after having seen -among the outcomes of Issabella- how many nice results you could achieve.

31 downloads of your filter, Dinasset!! wow
Sure someone more will post their outcomes.
