Been trying to do this for literally years (on and off of course). Getting close now. Just sharing the result of that effort (not ready for prime time; i.e., way too many steps currently and no time to outline them (have to get ready for work in about an hour so now I need to chill)). lol).

It's probably easier to built the corona discharge machine if you've played with it for years :hehe

I checked some pics. How the light spreads from the inanimate objects reminds me of the "Bleed color into transparent areas" script.

Maybe so, Nidhogg, but the quest is in the try; what fun would it be just to actually do something instead of simulating it. As a side note, do a search on kirlian here and you will find how far back I've tried to do this. lol

You're right lylejk. And of course I hope that you will find that last element for the secret sauce of Kirlian electrography.

Searched, found make squiggly and plasmic (based on your composition). Haven't played with these but certainly will when I have time.
Make squiggly seems to be one of those filters you could tweak for hours.

Appreciate the feedback. Didn't want to start another thread, so just copying this effort here too. I call this one Kirlian Cabbage. lol

Is that script still accessible for gimp 2.10?

lylejk: Wow, your latest binge is mesmerizing! I loved the French lily and the cabbage especially.

I got alternative edge detection filter installed on Ubuntu called canny edge detection.

Tested on same source image.

Great Nighogg; now I hope someone compiles it for Windows. lolol

You effort looks great too; my bet is this all can be automated in G'MIC; maybe samj can be coaxed to use her programming prowess to generate these automagically.
