Yes, if you read the instruction guide for GEGL Effects it expects the user to run layer to image size or rasterize text first.

Try these text files as imports. They make these text styles

I could put my bash plugin that calls AI in a special build of GEGL Effects layer effects engine. It will be located in a 9th tab with a checkbox to run the bash string.
If done users will be able do anything and everything in one plugin.

I got the bash plugin working in an unreleased version of GEGL Effects and ran REMBG with it. It looks to me like GEGL is more effective then any other method of Gimp plugin development.

Here is another preview of REMBG inside an unreleased version of GEGL Effects with the new GEGL bash plugin. THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!

ok, I got the Bash plugin working in GEGL Effects consistently and it appears to be stable but there is one cosmetic bug





This text box is in the wrong area and I can't put it where it should be.

THE BUG HAS BEEN SOLVED AND AI IS WORKING PERFECT HERE

The update appears ready I'll be pushing it in a few hours or maybe the next day on a special branch of GEGL Effects that will only work on non flatpak Linux.

GEGL Effects Inner Glow Tab


GEGL Effects Bash running REMBG AI background removal



This version will not be able to co-exist with normal GEGL Effects CE, meaning if you already have GEGL Effects CE installed it will overwrite it.

GEGL Effects with AI integration from Bash. Linux Only version download here
You will find bash commands in the 9th tab under "Run a bash command" This is not the official Linux branch for GEGL Effects on Github.

Includes Source Code and Binaries


Location to put binaries



If you already have these binaries overwrite all of them with the latest version. Then Restart Gimp and go to GEGL operation drop down list and look for GEGL Effects Continual

This only took a few seconds.



and it can save and apply the same setting on anything else.

But it looks like in this case the inner glow is to expansive on the turtle, so users will have to change the original setting.




If you compile this on Windows it will not work and just rapidly open cmd.exe windows over and over. In fact it will be just like the previous release of GEGL Effects but with a non working bash tool. If you use this on Flatpak or SNAP linux it will not work either as it will not be able to talk to bash.

Enjoy. Hopefully in the future we can get this working on Windows

Basic Guide on how this bash plugin works



1. This plugin has two versions, stand alone mode and GEGL Effects special build. The GEGL Effects is the one that ships with a layer effects engine and requires switching tabs to "run bash command on Linux" and then flipping a tab here.


2. This bash plugin within GEGL Effects is only a subsection in my layer effects/text styling engine. The full plugin does much more then just bash as its primary focus is text styling effects not bash.

3. The bash plugin exports the content of the layer as (/tmp/in.png) in the /tmp/ directory on Linux

A bash command with (tmp/in.png) and (tmp/out.png) in it like

works because REMBG is calling the layer file that GEGL exported and GEGL is instructed to load /tmp/out.png

/tmp/in.png is the layer image file exported and /tmp/out.png is the file GEGL is instructed to load.

4. The checkbox when pressed will freeze Gimp if done correctly, then it has to be unchecked within a few seconds. If it is not unchecked after checking the command will work but take several minutes to load. The checkbox makes things much faster.

5. The GEGL Box below the bash box is totally optional and not required for the filter to work, it is meant to add GEGL syntax after the bash command.

6. The default command in the bash box is REMBG that assumes REMBG is installed on the users system.

7. Here is a list of tools I call with bash

**REMBG**
https://pypi.org/project/rembg/

**GFPGAN**
https://github.com/TencentARC/GFPGAN/

**REALESRGAN**
https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN

**GMIC** (remember the built in AI's GMIC has they can be used too)
https://gmic.eu/

**Image Magick**
https://imagemagick.org/


so yeah, if you can call bash with these tools using /tmp/in.png as the input and /tmp/out.png as the final output that is all you need to use this plugin.

New Discovery. REMBG can be ran just by typing in grembg in the box due to a wrapper trick.

On Linux save this as grembg inside /home/username/.local/bin


Then just type in grembg in the bashbox and run command by checking the box on and off.

Thread hit a new page so now comes the usual.

GEGL Effects the text styling plugin in Gimp that also outlines images.




AI GEGL Effects download is here. It calls AI through bash

It has come to my attention that people are mass downloading old versions of GEGL Effects from May-June 2022 on Gimpchat. These versions do not have AI or half the features the newer versions have. Infact that was back when Inner Glow had a nasty bug that created a border sometimes or even before Inner Glow existed.

This bash plugin was not working for a lot of people because the REMBG command changed recently or at least in the past year. months. Here is a list of both rembg commands.

Latest REMBG is


2022 REMBG is


The bash plugin both stand alone and GEGL Effects version updated today. To contain the newest line of code for REMBG in default. This does not count as a new version release.

We now have a Flatpak build of GEGL Effects with bash AI but it requires manually editing two files.

The build all .sh files for Windows and Linux updated. It apparently was broken for at least several months. Now it is very easy to compile GEGL Effects on Windows and Linux. But remember compiling is optional as prebuilt binaries exist.



If you are on Windows with MySys2 the folder would be Windows_Binaries

The AI version of this plugin is getting a very tiny update in order to prevent a memory leak on the Cinnamon Desktop.

The line


was given # in front of it.




Non-AI versions of this plugin have not updated. This change is completely non-noticeable.

The AI through bash version of GEGL Effects and advance text styling version of GEGL Effects for now are discontinued, as they only are useful on Gimp 2.10. If you want AI in Gimp just use this plugin stand alone here.

March 11 2024 Stable is the latest build of GEGL Effects that no longer clips in Gimp 2.99.18+ is here.

https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Eff ... L/releases

GEGL Effects May 4th 2024 update is released. It is slightly slower then previous releases but it finally solved the color update clip bug without a checkbox or color delay bug. Ready Binaries and code for Windows and Linux are here

https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/Gimp_Lay ... n/releases

This release has no noticeable changes but is a HUGE UPDATE for GIMP 2.99.19/GIMP 3 RC1 users that deal with clipping with my plugins.
