How can G'MIC users access the Virtual Landscape feature? Where is it located?

Navigate to the link as outlined below Mackenzieh.

Thanks, Lyle!

You're welcome; what would be cool for some of these cool demos is for G'MIC to support sound. Maybe out of the scope for G'MIC but still it would be cool. lol

I've slowly started migrating from Sourceforge to our own server. All download links have been already updated!

Does anyone know how to update gmic in linux. I tried putting it in plugins but that didn’t work. It's permissions are set so it's not that.

First the obvious, you did download either a zip or a installation package for gmic_gimp not the standalone gmic found here http://gmic.eu/download.shtml

I am a bit old fashioned, like transparency and see what I am downloading, none of those nasty here type links.
Rather than the big friendly buttons http://gmic.eu/gimp.shtml
I go to http://gmic.eu/files/latest/ and pick the appropriate zip.

looks like this screenshot http://i.imgur.com/AcG4d2E.jpg

If you get a installation package (edit: don't think there is one but check in your distro packages), run the appropriate installer. For the zip then just unzip and copy to your Gimp profile.

I have always found the gmic zips excellent, with permissions already set, but check anyway.

Does it work, http://i.imgur.com/V0eNfEL.jpg
Yes, it does. This is an old laptop I use for testing, with LM 17 and Gimp 2.9.1

There might be old gmic filter updates in your home folder. A hidden file .something.gmic safe to delete this. G'mic will make another as appropriate.
Look for something like this http://i.imgur.com/nsWn8QG.jpg

Thanks Rich, I had downloaded the wrong file from sourceforge as I couldn't see one that said gimp_gmic. Thanks for the new link. All fixed :tyspin

I guess this is yet another reason to ditch Sourceforge.

Also, looks like the files have definitely now been migrated so the new repository to get the latest version of G'MIC is below.

Just to reiterate the earlier post

http://gmic.eu/download.shtml - is for gmic standalone
and
http://gmic.eu/gimp.shtml - is for the gimp_gmic plugin

but for the average user it is all there if you go through the G'mic homepage .

Maybe the occasional avid updater, with an old-ish bookmark will get caught out.

David,
any chance you have time to look at the filters performing "sketching" to improve the performances? Currently I can use them only on very very small images...
Thanks

edit: to give some numbers:
same image of a flower, filter B&W Sketch
sizes and times
--------------------------------
900 * 600 = 110 seconds
1200 * 800 = 210 seconds
1800 * 1200 = 460 seconds
