GARAGECODER's filter EMBOSS

Hi Gc,
seen also your recent post, tried your emboss filter with the output of the image used with IAIN's new filter.
Looks good, even if this is not the kind of image to use with your EMBOSS

I like it. I have to think about more typical input images for this filter.
(tomorrow)
Thanks, GC

Graechan, you choose a very good base image to play with it, excellent results.

I love it and I am very happy with the results, they are great! Thank you my friend.

Very nice results. I assume the filter is in G'MIC?

Found it!

This photo is from DPReview. Was given it to play with. Owner has just asked for a link back if used anywhere else.

nice, Sally!
maybe you could do something similar of what I did with Alicia:
- anisotropic smoothing ONLY on the face (masking the smoothed layer)
- overlay original on top
in my case it was a great step forward

Graechan,
I played with your nice image.
Double smooth only on skin
Overlay original

Graechan has a good base image

dinasset · **Posted:** Wed Nov 12, 2014 11:51 am **(#14)**

...for sure!

As a base for Illustrations, etc:

Original → GC Emboss {screen mode, 80%} → Gradient Norm (Smooth ≈ 5,00; invert){soft light mode, 70%}

Inspired by jamac4k's process, plus some tweaks and curves...

Most black cats are, in fact, black-on-black tabbies. At my house, we call them Stealth Tabbies. :cool

Tried out on another Image
straight output ,no smoothing

Hi everybody - I would like to play too, but whilst I have found 'garagecoder' in G'MIC/testing, I do not see an 'EMBOSS' item.

Am I looking in the right place?

Oldmangrumpy did you remember to refresh your filters
Here is Lena Yada

Yes Graechan, if you mean the 'refresh ' button in G'MIC, but look what I get ...
