I was thinking that the photo I manipulated was a good test. Much easier if there something being removed on the same background. The knife is primarily on the rock, but also hanging off each end.

In my original post I said I was. So i checked. I am using the 1.6.8 pre release #112615)

Must have been tired and overlooked that Sallyanne. Not sure why it's not working in your case. I am also running GIMP 2.8.16 now; don't think that an older version of GIMP might be at fault, but, you never know.

Hmm will ask

Got it. Asked David on his G+ page. I wasn't using the proper red
ff0000

well done Warrior

Thanks.

Nice work everyone, very cool filter David

Hi Ronounours, thanks for this new filter.
I think Inpaint "patch-based" and "multi-scale" are not working on my system. No error messages, it just does not do its job. Kubuntu Linux 64bits, G'MIC 1.6.8 pre-release #112615

YAFU are you using a 'proper' red for your mask with the newest filter. I wasn't getting any errors either and that did the trick.

I asked David if it could be my gimp 2.8.10 32 bit and he said no.

then I suspect the algorithm has found no masked pixels on your image. Maybe you are using the wrong color to define the mask ? The color must be exactly red #FF0000, and nothing else (so, with no anti-aliasing).

May have to ask him re the other filter. I had given up on that one as I am getting nothing either, is probably a simple error on my part though.

Oh! Thanks sallyanne.
I was doing the opposite, I was copying the code of the chosen red color in GIMP into G'MIC, instead of copying the color code from G'MIC (#FF0000) into GIMP If I remember correctly, that way it worked well before with the "patch-based".
