yes...everything woked fine almost till the end ... then we had a electric breakdown because my father turned on simultaneusly a electric heater, a grill and a old washing machine

Charcoal is now also a gmic filter (thank David!!) ,and as gmic filter offer a preview (zoomable and pannable) and more flexible options for input/output

Not sure if result are fully equivalent but should be very similar..but add your feedback

Thanks PC very nice - though it took me a while to find B&W - charcoal in the menus, basically because for some stupid reason i was looking for chalk - go figure.
Nice results i like this effect.

How do we get this G'MIC filter?

Do I download the ZIP?

No the filter is installed with GMIC under "Artistic"
B&W - Charcoal

Part of the new update which doesn't work for me nothing is working for me right now

check for older gmic files hidden somewhere delete them all and get the last version

i just had the same problem, solved as i just explained

apparently the final result is always 4 times bigger then original (meaning each side is doubled) and the invert FG/BG box has no effect

A windows 7 only issue? I had still to install last gmic in my other OS (take a bit since only 7 is connected to the net ) could you check in linux ?

this my attempt http://www.box.net/shared/857rutdsbr as you may seen is always 4x bigger and always look as a negative so obviously the invert FG/BG doesn't work at least in my PC

Slinky and Charcoal Fun

Go Willy!
