in the regular thread of the "Jamack Sketch" filter I posted a version which does not make use of GMIC, trying to let if be usable on Mac.

Could anyone running on Mac check whether it is installable/executable on Mac?
Thanks

(if not I will remove it, no reason to have it)

For simplicity I copy the .zip also here



Thanks

OK, it runs (tested by 2-ton).I'll try to improve it to let outcomes be more similar to the one produced by the original (G'mic) filter.
This was a so called "quick and dirty" solution, just to try to solve the problem.

a version which produces outcomes a little bit closer to the original


note: the file name is suffixed, but the filter name is not, thus it will replace the one previously attached

As far as I can tell, it's works the same.

@2-ton
It should be closer to the outcomes of the original filter
could you post :
- an original (not too small)
- your 3 outcomes
I'll work on them

I suspect you have both in your folders, but because of the same name still the previous one is used by Gimp.
Try the following:
- remove the filter
- reset (delete) pluginrc
- reinstall the filter
then try again

@2-ton

I post here 3 montages

Montage of the 3 outcomes using the GMIC version:


Montage of the 3 outcomes using the previous noGMIC version (the so called "quick and dirty"):


Montage of the 3 outcomes using the current noGMIC version (improved, to look closer to GMIC outcomes)


What do you think?

this is the source so you can play with it

sorry,missed this, all your seem the same, too, from version to version.
I did remove the original version and have the newer version. It's still a great filter, I really like that it gives 3 results in one file.

Hi 2-ton
very likely we have different monitors, they do not look "the same" on my PC
anyhow, happy you like the results
