..and remember that when script has finished you have to set visible off on the transparent layer

I don't have the xcf output because I didn't save it. Just by looking at the image, I can tell that something is wrong. I just can't figure out what it is.

Now that you said that, it makes sense.

Here is the XCF file anyway.

I'd rather not have it colorize the entire image and when I check uncheck that option, but check the others just to play around with it, I find it useless and the plugin still colorizes the entire image no matter how many colors are used on the transparent layer. Something else is wrong with the plug in.

I used your image and put here:
- Cattura1 is the snapshot "before"
- Cattura2 is the snapshot "after" the run





(I used my colours...)

Now, it's a bit late for me. You may try again if you will, I will see your posts tomorrow.

I figured it out. To me the plugin is still complicated but it'll do.

This is the plugin that I was referring to:
http://the-gimp.deviantart.com/art/Sele ... ng-1473143

I hadn't downloaded it nor installed it because it looked outdated and I have no clue if the creator of the plug in updated it for the newer version of gimp. If anyone can figure out how to do so, then this plug in could be worth it.

I don't know the plug-in you are referring to; maybe Rod does.

Diego, check the link I posted, you can see it there. When you download it, you won't get the file, but the actual code to the file.

should work now
pls test it

I have tested it out. Here are my examples:



You have to remember to have a selection before running the script.

so, it's OK.

Yes, the script is OK.

The "Colorization" plug-in and this one are two different outcomes. The one at Deviant is for color toning such as cinema coloring overlays. The Colorization plug-in actually lets you select a color for any area of the image or no color in certain areas. Take the puppy image i posted with the blue eyes earlier. That is certainly not colored everywhere in the image. Some parts i left black and white or desaturated.

All you need do is create a transparent layer above any desaturated image and color on it.You need only thin lines of color so using a brush small will do the trick. Notice my mask image i posted earlier also. The mask is the transparent overlayer.

Really i am surprised the new selective coloring works better for you as you have to kind of hit and miss on colors you really want. Unless the color overlay effect is what you wanted in the first place.

I still have the colorization plugin but I was looking for the selective coloring script.

Rod, it seems the filter works only with small picture.
Not a matter of performances, the result is totally wrong with larger ones.
I took the same input image with which I made my first test, repeated at the original size and it still works fine. Then almost doubled the size and got wrong result (see attachments).
Do you know whether you (or someone else) can check the source to identify where the problems lies?
Thanks

edit: it seems I'm unable to attach the 2 .xcf, but you may perform yourself the test:
- first with the original size (OK)
- then doubling the size (absolutely bad for me)

I can confirm this. I even blurred the original at its regular size and it worked. So displacing or smoothing pixels doesn't seem to effect. Only when you scale the image larger.
I even scaled the image 2x SMALLER and it worked. Weird.

Ok here is what i had to do to get some results.
Scale the image
Use the selection tool to add selections as you paint them on the transparent layer.
Alpha to selection the colored layer
Then use the use unselected areas as mask



Doesn't make for a very pretty outcome. Maybe if the selections were feathered a bit?
You would have to contact the author of the plug-in to get some more info on fixing it for larger size scaling.

does someone have the possibility to look into the source code?

I can't find the src file. Gimp registry is down and doesn't allow you to see more than one page of filters per letter.

http://registry.gimp.org/glossary/c?page=1

SamJ may have the src.

I resized the image in a different program and it still doesn't work.
