Downloaded, zip unpacked, contains a "RCS" folder ( and other files) in there is a "spawn.c,v" file ?
Never seen such a file-ending before. I doubt that it's ready to use.

A new discovery has been made with GEGL Bash Spawn that leads to it running orders of magnitude faster, as it prevents GEGL from reloading the same operation 9 times in a row. That's what is slowing it down.

Before I show case the discovery remember that /tmp/final.png is unique to the users given path.

The GEGL syntax


gegl-buffer-load When ran after boy:spawn or anything in GEGL (like a blur or emboss) causes it to cancel everything and have nothing in the graph. GEGL Layer loads an image file; such as a final output in /tmp/. The plan to make GEGL Bash Spawn faster is to run the syntax I listed above after a few seconds of the user pressing a checkbox. The checkbox will activate the nodes at a several second delay.

This means GMIC filters in GEGL will load in 1 or 2 seconds instead of 10-20 seconds. Once again this is happening because gegl:buffer-load cancels everything and layer src= calls the image file that GEGL dumped in /tmp/

Example of me running GMIC's Bokeh in GEGL fast
This only took one second to load because I pasted commands strategicly.

first I pasted the command to call GMIC



Then a second later I pasted this while Gimp was Frozen

Sorry it was source code only. I provided a download with a binary on the first page post.
download/file.php?id=70342

Soon this plugin will update with a delay property. When activated the nodes gegl-buffer-load and gegl:layer will kick in and unfreeze the graph and load the file in /tmp/

This is a hypothetical example where the unfreeze and call layer nodes are delayed by 4 seconds

Here is the same thing I did with GMIC now with REMBG. It now loads very fast with a delayed buffer.

very difficult to follow you for non-programmers :-(

What do I really have to write into the GEGL command?

in my normal working(!) bash script I activate the environment like so:


And if I put this in the GEGL command


nothing happens really, nothing in /tmp either

It would be really nice to have a working step by step example.
Only to get rembg to work ... nothing else. No fancy you can do this and that and so.
That only confuses me ( perhaps others, too)

Disable preview and try this.



To make it go 9 times faster paste



AFTER GIMP IS FROZE AND THE ORIGINAL COMMAND IS RUNNING

its tricky but you'll get the hang of it.

That doesn't work for me here. It just leaves an empty layer, except for text in the upper left corner that reports "load failed".

The plugin by JamesH works perfectly however.

Make sure you are using non flatpak Linux and Please give me your unique rembg directory. This is the default for most people. So try this

1-5-2024 EDIT TO MODERNIZE ORIGINAL POST


Guys you need to understand that this plugin is literally just calling bash in Linux. So whatever works in bash on Linux will work in this plugin. If you can call REMBG in bash on non-flatpak Gimp it will work here.

I'm using Gimp PPA, not flatpak. rembg directory is "/home/user/.local/bin/rembg". it works fine via command line as well as python plugin. It doesn't seem to work in gegl graph using your script, at least not here.

If this worked on Windows, I wouldn't want to use rembg in Gegl anyway.
The expected result depends on the image type - but the JamesH plugin allows additional adjustments via mask (max. 20% adjustments - which is why a relatively slow plugin is better than manual selection).

Doesn't work for me either. Looks like described by MareroQ GIMP from PPA.
Starting GIMP from terminal gives some messages:


rembg works fine here from my bash script, but not from that GEGL thingy.
I won't try any longer.

Try this once more and make sure it is ran inside GEGL Graph and replace "user" with your username.

This code was incorrect and was updated to be correct

Tried that and same results. It just won't work here. It's also very slow to process compared to the JamesH plugin.

I tried both those scripts and got the same results. I'm beginning to think you're the only one that can make it work. Yes I only need to use REMBG in bash...



Using rembg in commandline or JamesH plugin work just fine. I'm done playing with this, sorry.

I just realized I am using a version of REMBG from 2021 that I got off of a python website. I intentionally used an older versio.

It could be that the `rembg -i` command is replaced with something else in the newer version.


I am deeply sorry for wasting your time racer-x. I'll investigate and ask someone else to test it.

*update I don't know why it isn't working for some people and feel bad.

OUTDATED POST

REMBG COULD WORK IN THE CLOUD FROM ANY MACHINE LIKE THIS

I have not tested this on my machine as I don't know how to open ports but in theory REMBG can run in the cloud like this. Both on a local cloud or a designated website that someone has yet to make specifically for GEGL to Gimp.



It would likely work by uploading an image to a website using a bash command then sleep for a few seconds or so for it to process then call back the output file in GEGL. This is totally possible if someone made a designated website not only for u2net/REMBG in the cloud but to access it via bash.
