OH Pat! I'm sorry for the problems that your computer is generating to you. I like your outcomes a lot. Good elections too. This filter is really cute and I like the results it gives.

Just had to try a cartoon.

Thank you, Issabella for your comments. You have such ability to do beautiful images. Your selections for these filters is always appropriate for the kind of filter. I hope I learn that from you as we go.

Dinasset writes nice programs. Again, I like this one, also.

Nice to see you here, Pat !
I thought there should have been some problems somewhere.
Thanks for your nice words.
I hope your migraine passed definitely, that's the most important thing.
About Gimp: reloading GIMP does not clean the user folder, which is fine but.....sometimes the responsible of Gimp problems is the little "pluginrc" file under (user)/.gimp-2.8.
Try to delete it, then restart Gimp: it will recreate that file and maybe something is running better.

BTW Pat, which version did you use? The original one (all features), the "fast" (minor limitations), the "faster" (some more parameter limitations)? And which response timed did you get?

Dinasset: I used "fast". I did not keep track of the time, but it was several minutes. I always get periods of "not responding" when these filters work. At first, it was only with BRL, now with most filters.
Thank you about the hint for the user folder. I will delete that file and see if it helps.

Both images done on "fast". The Streisand image took 4 min, 30 sec. There was some "non responding" time in there.

Thanks, and nice outcomes, Pat.
Because of the long waiting time you have, you could also try the "faster" (last posted) version, it takes a fixed amount of time (around 1 minute I guess in your case), much shorter than those times you mentioned.
Then you may see whether the result is still nice for you

Pat, beautiful images and results.

Thank you very much, Issabella & Dinasset. I really like this filter, also.

Dinasset: I did delete the pluginrc file but it made no difference.

I can't stop playing with it.

Nice, Issabella. I can't stop playing with these either. I adjusted some of the layers so the lion was more visable.

nice competition between two pretty girls !
nice outcomes, I'm glad you like this filter.

No competition. As Cyndi Lauper sang, "Girls just want to have fun!"

...and you make also the audence enjoy !
it seem that outcomes from the fastest version are not so bad

Remembering this filter which produces such funny results.

pity for the slowness, because the best results are obtained with the original version.
Hope that it will improve in the next release of G'MIC.

Yes, better results using the previous version if one is patient.

spes ultima dea

installed the new G'MIC 1.7.0, but that funtion (shapeism) is still slooooow....
looking for next release (maybe...)
