It has come to my attention that people are mass downloading old versions of GEGL Effects from May-June 2022 on Gimpchat. These versions do not have AI or half the features the newer versions have. Infact that was back when Inner Glow had a nasty bug that created a border sometimes or even before Inner Glow existed.

This bash plugin was not working for a lot of people because the REMBG command changed recently or at least in the past year. months. Here is a list of both rembg commands.

Latest REMBG is

Code: Select all

rembg i /tmp/in.png /tmp/out.png

2022 REMBG is

Code: Select all

rembg /tmp/in.png -o /tmp/out.png

The bash plugin both stand alone and GEGL Effects version updated today. To contain the newest line of code for REMBG in default. This does not count as a new version release.

We now have a Flatpak build of GEGL Effects with bash AI but it requires manually editing two files.

The build all .sh files for Windows and Linux updated. It apparently was broken for at least several months. Now it is very easy to compile GEGL Effects on Windows and Linux. But remember compiling is optional as prebuilt binaries exist.

If you are on Windows with MySys2 the folder would be Windows_Binaries

The AI version of this plugin is getting a very tiny update in order to prevent a memory leak on the Cinnamon Desktop.

The line

Code: Select all

#define geglwithanything \
" GEGL Box after Bash   "

was given # in front of it.

Code: Select all

#define geglwithanything \
" #GEGL Box after Bash   "

Non-AI versions of this plugin have not updated. This change is completely non-noticeable.

The AI through bash version of GEGL Effects and advance text styling version of GEGL Effects for now are discontinued, as they only are useful on Gimp 2.10. If you want AI in Gimp just use this plugin stand alone here.

GEGL Effects May 4th 2024 update is released. It is slightly slower then previous releases but it finally solved the color update clip bug without a checkbox or color delay bug. Ready Binaries and code for Windows and Linux are here

https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/Gimp_Lay ... n/releases

This release has no noticeable changes but is a HUGE UPDATE for GIMP 2.99.19/GIMP 3 RC1 users that deal with clipping with my plugins.

This post only applies to people using GIMP 3/2.99, 2.10 forever users can ignore it .

33 plugins of mine crash GIMP 2.99.19 when it is closing and I made an update to fix it.

GEGL Effects May 28 2024 was released to prevent a crash when closing GIMP 2.99.19 - if you do not update GEGL Effects and other plugins of mine then you will encounter a GIMP crash when GIMP 3 closes.

The latest version of GEGL Effects now works on layer groups in GIMP 2.99.19 and is faster all around because it no longer uses the shinytext.dll/.so but if you still have that binary its ok. Also inner glow in stand alone mode now has a tab called "revised" which is a different theory on inner glow.

The original guide was made in May 2023 but wwo updates were made to the guide

1. Information on sharp bevel that has existed since July 2023

2. Information that Inner Glow only works on Layer Groups in GIMP 2.99.19 if its "fix outline" slider is at 50, if not inner glow will be invisible.
