No more errors after re-running gegl effects.

Final results.

The new GEGL Effects is done and on Github!
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Eff ... using-GEGL

gegl:effects has been renamed to gegl:layereffects because every time I update the blend mode list it gets an error that will infinitely reoccur unless I run


Anyhow here is a list of changes for this update. This only applies to GEGL Effects. Bevel and Inner Glow as stand alone filters have no changes.

Filter is fragmented into three parts "Outline and Shadow" "Bevel and InnerGlow" "Image and Gradient"
Bevel can switch blend modes
Inner Glow can switch blend modes. You have many blend modes to choose from
Gradient can switch blend modes. You have many blend modes to choose from
Stroke has limited horizontal and vertical movement to create an opaque dropshadow effect
Image File overlay has an opacity slider and a built in hue chroma
Bevel has its native radius option
Inner Glow has its median option
GEGL Effects syntax name has changed from "effects" to "layereffects"
Preset compatibility has broke with earlier versions. Users can still use "legacy effects" to solve this

My final work is complete -- Enjoy!

GEGL Effects is ready and I just solved a major bug before anyone showed up!

delete effects.dll/so from your plugins folder. Only have layereffects.dll/so (along with bevel and innerglow) inside GEGL plugins.

Wasn't sure what to compile here so i only compiled the legacy folder.
I removed the bevel.dll, inner-glow.dll, and the gegleffcts.dll and replaced them with these three.



Seems to be working ok.

No crashes on Windows.

Everything is good. This will likely be the final version of GEGL Effects unless something new happens to Gimp.

New compiles with lists here.

I know how to make a gradient stroke, bevel stroke, gradient shadow/glow and random seed for shadow/glow noise. But that would require one new operation. Said new operation would be an advance stroke/shadow/glow filter.

I don't want to do this personally but if a few people show interest I will. This will give GEGL Effects the ability to customize its stroke and shadow even more.

I changed my mind. I am not going to do said change to GEGL Effects. In example; I could give GEGL Effects the ability to add a long shadow, extra drop shadow stroke, blended edge detect or more things that would vastly improve its quality but the ultimate answer is not to make GEGL Effects longer and more complicated. The ultimate answer is for Gimp's team (or anyone) to implement something like Smart Objects. Which would be an active GEGL Graph that certain layers have.

GEGL Effects and Custom Bevel are the most complicated text styling filters Gimp has ever had. Nothing even comes close. (Fact!) Controversially, IMO they succeed the use of hundreds of alpha to logos the community has made over the past two decades. But in doing this they have showed me something. They (Effects and Custom Bevel) made me realize that Adobe's method was right all along. I do not need to give my filters the extra ability to cast a dropshadow + blend mode gradient or anything else. Adding those features will just make them clunky and slower. The answer is for Gimp to implement a non-destructive GEGL Graph that chains filters. That way I can have a "GEGL Layer" that has an active custom bevel, gradient and drop shadow that can be copied and pasted to other layers. All you are doing is copying and reloading a GEGL Graph.

That is the way Adobe has been doing things since the early 2000s. And we are just starting to realize they did it the right way all along.

Effects and InnerGlow got a update that changes Inner Glow's xy to 0 instead of 1. This allows a better "inner stroke" for GEGL Effects.

This is trivial for Inner Glow as it is just a different default preset but for GEGL Effects this gives it the ability to make a true inner stroke if the opacity is set to 100% and there is no blur radius. Before it could also do this but at horizontal=1 vertical=1 it would slightly be off. This mostly benefits GEGL Effects inner glow on small text. I made this update for myself months ago but lost the file and forgot to update it for myself and everyone else it. Oh well better late then never.



I hope I don't have to update GEGL Effects again. I considered this to be the last version and final. Yes, There are many more things I could add but it is more important for Gimp to get non-destructive editing then to keep chaining existing filters. This was just an minor correction

Thank you for the update contrast.

You are welcome.


Update has been made. Very minor.

Inner Glow's blur radius now goes up to 40. It previously stopped at 30.

This is only noticeable if you are applying it to a giant image in a niche workflow.

GEGL Effects has an official Guide.

GEGL Effects got an update that makes the blend modes of Inner Glow orders of magnitude more likely to produce a cool glow effect.

GEGL Effects Inner Glow and Gradient now have their Grain Merge and Multiply blend mode set to "rgb-perceptual" which makes them have a glow effect. Before they still could have a glow effect, but it was far more dependent on a image file overlay or certain color. Now virtually any color will glow.

GEGL Inner Glow got a reworking of its graph that solves the border glitch it had. This is very important from my perspective.

Here is a preview of the Nov 24 Update that allows GEGL Effects Grain Merge and Linear Light to Glow.


Nov 26 Update removes this unwanted border glitch.


Nov 27 Update allows Inner Glow to work on Small Text

Thank you LinuxBeaver for this work and everyone else. I am not a power Linux user but usually can muddle through with online searches. While it worked, FXFoundry on Gimp was a necessity for me. Now that it doesn't, I am trying to put your files into Gimp but (and I apologize for being ignorant) I don't get which or how many of the files go into the gegl-4.0/plug-ins folder with the exception of gegleffects.so and inner-glow.so. I just updated to Ubuntu 22.04 and have Gimp 2.10.32. I have installed libgegl-dev through synaptic.

Anyones help would be appreciated? I have been to the github regarding LinuxBeaver GEGL-Effects-etc but I am a bit lost.

You need gegleffects.so inner-glow.so and bevel.so for GEGL Effects to work. They should all be included in the download. You don't need lib-gegl-dev. That is only if you are compiling GEGL.

Hi, can someone link to the latest version for Ubuntu 22.04 please? Not sure which to use. Thanks.

Download the three .so files
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Eff ... L/releases

Put all .so files in
/home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

If you use Flatpak
/home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Thanks
