Hi D4rkheart,

G'MIC added support for multi-threading so you'll need to update the G'MIC command string in Release V5 of this script to add new arguments for that.

Locate the following string

Code: Select all

"-gimp_dreamsmooth 2,1,1,0.8,0,0.8,0"

Change to

Code: Select all

"-gimp_dreamsmooth 2,1,1,0.8,0,0.8,1,24,0"

Save and refresh Script-Fu scripts.

There was talk of having GMIC automatically detect the number of CPUs but 'm not sure where that stands. For now, any script which uses a GMIC function that has new arguments for multi-threading, will need to be updated, as highlighted below.

Dream Smoothing
2 = Iterations
1 = Equalize at each step (0=False, 1=True)
1 = Merging 1="alpha"
.80 = Opacity
0 = Reverse Order (0=False, 1=True)
.80 = Smoothness
1 = Number of threads (CPU's)
24 = Spacial overlap
0 = Preview type (0=Full)

Greachan can update the script to allow the user specify the new arguments, as they will differ from PC to PC. I use a Quad Core CPU so I specify 4 in the "Number of Threads" argument.

Ohhh, same here

GnuTux, thanks for the info. But I do not mess with these codes.

Greachan, any chance there's an update in the script?
Thx in advance!

Same with me. I'm using the Beta version of g'mic & when I applied the wisps filter to the image I was using g'mic still crashed.

Tried with your string and it works well, thanks.
I'll stay tuned for others changes.

d4rkheart, does the modified pencil shade script work in the 1.5.7.0 beta version of g'mic? I ask because that's what I use.

@mackenzieh, @Akros
I'm using g'mic 1.5.7.1 32 bit on notebook dualcore and g'mic doesn't crash (is only slow), actual version beta is 1.5.7.2.
Wait graechan update, i'm sure that he'll solve this problem.

d4rkheart, your updated version works for me now.

Here's what I came up with:

Here i've uploaded my file pencil-shade.modified.scm, an administrator(i think Gnutux) has replaced this file with his file Pencil-Shade.scm updated. @Administrator, Thanks for this replacement, i've downloaded your file

Wisps has been updated properly by me please see the initial post for the update
d4rkheart could you be kind enough to remove the version in your post

Graechan, I downloaded it and it works. Now I'm just playing with it. It's a very cool script.

Graechan · **Posted:** Sun Oct 13, 2013 8:40 pm **(#85)**

mackenzieh are you using my Rel6 script or the version d4rkheart posted

I was using the one that d4rkheart posted, then I downloaded your Rel6 script and replaced their script with yours. I'm using your script, Graechan.

Thank you for the info mackenzieh,I new about the changes in Gmic but forgot I used Dreamsmooth in this script

Pencil Shade script Rel6
Duplicate layer, ran script (defaults), screen mode Addition.

It's a very small change that seems to make the image stand out.

The cute little Owl deserved the dreamy look.

This looks like someone with eyes in the back of their head.

Odin nice result looks like cousin it, the busier the image the better the script works
