GEGL Custom Bevel - Change internal blend modes, blur types & more

contrast_ · **Joined:** Oct 31, 2020 **Posts:** 1442

Custom Bevel, Color Lighting Fusion, Photo to Cartoon , Glow Stick and GEGL Effects have an emergency update.

If two filters have the same name of a blend mode enum list it will result in the blend mode switch option being hidden. Check these filters to make sure they have their blend mode switchers. Updating to the latest version solves the problem.

Custom Bevel has had an update that allows it to use all of Median Blur's options.

It still can't deprecate clay and I tried. Clay has a different graph that probably can't be mimicked. The problem is likely that Emboss's multiply blend mode is not the same as GEGLs.

Just a remark, but at the moment, the code here: https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Custom-Bevel cbevel.c is a month old and the optional_binary_linux cbevel.so is 3 months old.

Do you give binary updates any more ?

contrast_ · **Joined:** Oct 31, 2020 **Posts:** 1442

The new binaries are on the release section. Windows and Linux included.

https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Cus ... l/releases

contrast_ · **Joined:** Oct 31, 2020 **Posts:** 1442

Windows Binaries here.

NOTE ALL WINDOWS BINARIES ARE ALSO FOUND ON THE GITHUB RELEASE SECTION.
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Cus ... l/releases

Put the file in
C:\Users\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins

and create the `plug-ins` folder if it doesn't exist.

- btw the reason I am releasing these binaries here is because I am convinced I will not be doing much if any updates to my filters. And These are the final versions.

I hope users are in the mindset that custom bevel combined with image file overlays can do stuff like this.

The latest version of custom bevel now hides advance features to make the GUI more simple. Other then that no changes have been made. Regardless I consider this an important update.

Custom Bevel and many other plugins of mine can now be used inside an experimental branch of GEGL Effects along with other major text styling plugins of mine. This version of GEGL Effects will replace default GEGL Effects if you already have it. OVERWRITE ALL BINARIES.

Read instructions to download it is not in the normal release section.

Custom Bevel updated and got a new version and modes that changes colors regardless of original text color, and it now has a slider to work on dark bevels. Dark bevels work best with Multiply and Overlay blend mode.

Here is a preview underlining all new features in Custom Bevel.

Custom bevel is taking advantage of something I just recently learned. GEGL's ability to update plugins without breaking presets by putting the old version in a drop down list. All plugins that use Custom Bevel will be fine regardless if you update or not. Modern Custom Bevel and Classic look exactly the same but under the hood their is more elegant code. The most noticeable features users will notice when updating is color bevel mode and dark bevel slider.

Every plugin of mine that used custom bevel as a dependency on Github also updated. You will know you have the latest version of custom bevel by seeing the "classic" and "modern" modes in the GUI.

CRASH FIX
I was notified by a user that the version of Custom Bevel released from Oct 15 2023 till now (the past 17 days ) was broken on Windows Gimp 2.10.34 rev 2. I now identified the bug and fixed it. This line of code was invalid and crashing Gimp

INVALID CODE that crashed Gimp

Code: Select all

  medianbookmark    = gegl_node_new_child (gegl,
                                  "operation", "gegl:median-blur", "radius", 30, 100.0,
                                  NULL);

CORRECT CODE

Code: Select all

  medianbookmark    = gegl_node_new_child (gegl,
                                  "operation", "gegl:median-blur", "radius", 30, "alpha-percentile", 100.0,
                                  NULL);

If Custom Bevel crashes Gimp, updating will fix the problem. No changes have been made but that. for some reason it does not crash Linux.

Wow I just read intro tutorial to GEGL and it's ability to preview result live is kick-butt awesome.
I am reading this now.
https://developer.gimp.org/resource/gegl_operations/
Hopefully I can eventually feel as comfortable with it as I do python GIMP.
That would be amazing.
