Hello everyone

I've developed a new luminosity masking plugin for GIMP 3. It's a complete rewrite, and interactive. I approached the rewrite with simplicity, ease of use, and obviousness in mind.

How it works: You choose from among 3 variations each of lights, midtones, or darks - you see a live preview as you choose. Then you fine tune the mask interactively with a live view, using a fine tuning dialog that applies levels as you wish. You can play around, reset, and restart the process. Finally it adds a luminosity mask layer with the luminosity mask attached.

It's supported for GIMP 3 in Linux and Windows. As for macOS, you're welcome to try it. But since Apple doesn't want to properly support industry-standard technology like GTK, the plugin will probably not work on a Mac. So I can't support it on that OS.

I'll record a tutorial of course. Even so, I hope it's self-explanatory as you use it.

It's available in the following languages:

Dutch (Nederlands)
English (English)
French (Français)
German (Deutsch)
Italian (Italiano)
Hungarian (Magyar)
Japanese (日本語)
Polish (Polski)
Portuguese (Português)
Spanish (Español)
Ukrainian (Українська)
Chinese (Simplified) (简体中文)
Chinese (Traditional) (繁體中文)

The plugin detects the language you're running GIMP in, and adjusts to it.

This release is version 1.0 of the plugin. I'd appreciate any and all feedback!

That's quite nice of you. But why do you need 5 the same posts for this?

I have removed all but the latest one.

Thank you! Newbie mistake on my part.
