A selective plasma filter

Oregonian · **Posted:** Mon Oct 12, 2015 6:01 pm **(#1)**

Would it be possible to make a script that does what the plasma script does but in colors chosen by the user?

Perhaps make it so that it could use 2 or more colors?

I'm throwing it out there in case someone might be able to do it.

It sounds really hard to me but perhaps it would work.

Thanks!

That's a good idea O! :bigthup

You could try desaturating it then use a colour-map->gradient map to apply whatever gradient you want.

This will reduce the number of colours to 256, however.

That's such a simple yet effective solution.
That's RobA !

I believe plasma 2 ( viewtopic.php?f=9&t=494#p4677 ) does this but I don't know if it works with Gimp 2.8

Forgotten all about plasma2. I've not added it to my GIMP since ol' Betsy died a year ago. I kept a folder of all the plugins and have been adding them one by one as I needed them. lol

Thanks for the reminder Erisian.

Plasma2 also works in linux and Gimp 2.8.14

As an alternative, remember there is a useful plasma filter in G'mic in the patterns section

Plasma2's advantage is being able to pick a gradient. They are all useful in their own way.
