[G'MIC] Smart foreground extraction tool

Graechan · **Posted:** Tue Sep 16, 2014 2:17 am **(#101)**

A reminder to everyone :you must replace all your existing Gmic files including .dll's with the new ones

Also Graechan, I'd love to have an installer available for the G'MIC plug-in, for Win64 systems.
Do you think this is something you can achieve easily. I have already an .iss configuration file I use for the Win32 version : https://sourceforge.net/p/gmic/source/ci/master/tree/resources/gmic_gimp.iss
(Inno Setup Installer configuration file).
I wonder if this could be easy to adapt it a little bit to make an installer from your .7z archive. Do you have any ideas about this ?

David I can see no reason you can't adapt the 32bit installer for my archive files, I know nothing about installers myself and have always used the zips to install files.
I'm sure someone here tonight could test the installer for you

Just looked at the installer script file and it looks complicated to me but not impossible
after the script is amended what happens next

I just tested the latest version of the filter, this is so easy even for a non really gimp user like me!

Thank you again.

Thanks Graechan. Works excellent for me.

Though i still have no "RESET" button. Clicking the reset button on the bottom of the dialog just crashes the plug-in.

I love the middle button to refresh the changes. Control point-update, Control point-update...... really fast!

In the next butterfly have taken many control points, anyway a quick work:

Where I have had more problems is on the edge of the wings down. Where black and white segments are interleaved. There has been necessary to cover almost everything that edge with control points

Rod I hope you have resolved your problems

OK; Graechan's beta version works (replaced all files like he said to do). When I refreshed, I do not see the new extraction option under testing like the video shows. What gives?

lylejk, it's not under testing. it is in Contours > Extract Foreground

It is under contours Lyle. It started out under the other tab but David moved it.

Yeah; discovered that a few minutes later and was going to delete my entry but you guys replied (to my shame; lololol). All I can say is it's extremely quick and very good (won't share; just testing). Thanks a heap Graechan for 64-bit compile. Thanks a heap times 2 for the new extraction feature David.

Lyle Your Welcome my friend I know you'll love this new filter

lylejk · **Joined:** Sep 24, 2010 **Posts:** 12850

Tried another extraction and the plugin crashed (used a lot of forground and background points). Not sure why it crashed. Below's the error.

Graechan · **Posted:** Tue Sep 16, 2014 7:24 pm **(#114)**

Lyle did you select 'active layer' for input and 'new layer(s)' for output

lylejk · **Joined:** Sep 24, 2010 **Posts:** 12850

Not sure anymore (had worked the first time I tried). I just remember chosing layers in G'MIC. I've since closed GIMP. I'll play again later though to see Graechan.

Lyle here's one I did with my shaky hand using default settings (to many points can be bad)

I've started a variation of this filter, in order to colorize comics.
Check it out

Video from : www.youtube.com

I'll try to make it available after that for coloring B&W photographs as well.
Stay tuned

Wow, that is really great David, I could have some fun with that one. I will make Wallace with purple hair, :teeth

Thank you David, awesome as usual.

Awesome; now you can judge real time your results before committing. Hope you do this for grayscale colorization too.
