Compiling GIMP Beautify Plug-in on GNU/Linux: :pengy

Make sure you have at least 2 GB of free space on /home.
Install "git" in your distribution. Also install the development libraries for the GIMP (libgimp2.0-dev on Ubuntu). I guess you also need the headers and basic build tools for your distribution.
Open the terminal and download the sources from GitHub:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/hejiann/beautify

When the download is complete enter to the directory:

Code: Select all

cd beautify

Run make:

Code: Select all

make

On my computer (and Kubuntu 64bits) this has overloaded my CPU and that it took a while.
Install on your /home/USER/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/:

Code: Select all

make userinstall

You must have these binary files in your /home/USER/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/:
beautify
skin-whitening
rip-border
texture-border

and verify that each one is executable.
You can find the plugin in "Filters" > "Beautify".

Thanks Rod for notice about this plug-in :tyspin

Yes drag them directly to your plug-ins folder.

I am currently compiling Texture-Border (not sure how big that one is yet)
But the h file itself is 1 half gigabyte (534 MB)

Your welcome YAFU! Thanks for helping other Linux users. :bigthup

Texture-Border is finished -
Screenshot (not sure why it says Rip-Border on top) C file naming error perhaps?

Once again, thanks a lot YAFU.

Thanks for bringing it up Rod. What's the name of that font? The two Iron Maiden like fonts I have don't look too great.

I have that font but it looks different, got it from the same place. Maybe you have the older version. Thanks, though. Molly, as well.

Gave it a try and i like the simplicity of this add-on i get a feeling of instagram style or pixlr type editing and i love both of those editors.

Retro + Old Photos
Brightness -30
Contrast +20
Saturation -30

Yeah that image is from a while ago.I just used it for testing.
Try searching Gimp Chat for Monsoonami.
That is the script i used for it and i may have mentioned the face name there.

Nice job on that image editing ZombieGimp!

Rod love the Plugins but the procedure browser shows no info except interactive image drawable, any info on how to use the plugins in a script would be useful.

This plugin is a big plugins and do not support use in a script for now, because it do not provide the procedures for all it's features for now.

I will try to provide all these features in gimp procedures 1 or 2 days later. Thanks for provide the requirements. Any suggestion from users will make this plug-in great
