Original Image (Resized)


GEGL Plugins of mine used

GOLD ELEPHANT
This was entirely done in CMYK Student's Gimp build, and with a recent update it now allows most Gimp color menu filters to work without crashing.



Smart Filters on Elephant


Preview of the gold plugin in split view mode.


This workflow is fun.

Here is my plugin "Gold Bevel" being edited in real time.



Download "Gold Bevel" here. It works in Gimp 2.10 but destructive of course.

FULL PREVIEW OF FINAL

Clone tool allows for color and lighting filters to be used as brushes


Using Gimp's Clone tool set to "Register", sampling the lower layer with with sample merged disabled and a transparent layer above. I can use any color and lighting filter as a brush.





Here is me using my unreleased plugin "Vibrance" as a brush






And if I want I can replace Vibrance with some other filter.



and now I'll do a blur just to show off what is possible


*Post edit
If the layers below update the clone tool effects will NOT update with them.

contrast_: Interesting timing. We just got a request to have the Cloning Tool use the filtered layer rather than the original layer as a source. It's a one-line code change using the new API - I'm just not sure which is the expected behavior.

Generic bug I'm reporting
1. CMYK Student's build of Gimp does not allow images with Aux Input but still previews them. Once I hit "Ok" the GEGL filter applies but disregardes the aux image selected. This is NOT the same bug as with gegl:layer as that actually crashes Gimp.

Technical question for CMYK Student (lay people can ignore this)
2. Since CMYK Student's build allows aux input for images and it calls the original layer before all effects were applied perhaps we could use it in a way to work as a GEGL id and ref. The original layer before effects is the id and the layer called with aux is the ref. But there is no native Gimp filter that uses the aux input of an image alone. All aux input filters in Gimp contain some effect and GEGL plugins cannot use aux boxes, only image file uploads with layer src= but that can't select layers. We need to fix both unrelated image selection bugs and make a aux input tool for layers to mimic ref and id or clone layers/smart objects in Adobe and Pixelitor.

Also this is very unprofessional to say but I am getting cranky waiting for the remember color bug fix. lol

Also I have a request for CMYK Student. Just yesterday I made a new GEGL plugin that is meant to apply on layer mask to mimic Adobe Photoshop CS5's "Refine Edges" selection modification tool. I was wondering if you could allow non-destructive filters on layer mask as well (when the user specifies of course) to allow things like this to be non-destructive?

Image preview of the layer mask filter. Said filter allows users to feather, grow/shrink and distort a layer mask. Plugin download here works in Gimp 2.10 and 2.99 - Remember to apply it to a layer mask!

I do not know if the latest version of Photoshop has non-destructive layer mask. It probably does, but Photoshop CS5 from 2010 does not have non-destructive layer mask with the exception of vectors shapes.

This may be what you're looking for then, since Jehan merged the initial Color Space Invasion updates: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/m ... uests/1343

compiling now with a smile.

It works, colors are remembered even when Gimp is restarted.

Now the layer effects engine that I developed with many color options can be used to its totality. CMYK Student.

I got a bug on closing Gimp. Only once the other times I closed it I did not get the bug



and then on reopening after the error I edited the text and it was editable but it "jumped" to the top left corner, when the text was previously on the bottom center.




Bugs are frustrating but at least we are finding and weeding them out bringing us closer and closer to Gimp 3

I found a bug that so far only happens with my plugin GEGL Effects Continual and I have not yet been able to re-create it and it only goes away once Gimp is reopened with the xcf file or the composition is duplicated.

The GEGL Effects filter only applies half way. It randomly cuts off. If I add a drop shadow or anything after GEGL Effects it will apply normally on all the text but GEGL Effects will still cut off. Going to re-edit GEGL effects shows the full preview but once applied it cuts off.







Any idea what causes this? I think it has to do with mandatory gegl:crop operations GEGL Effects Continual uses to fix other bugs.

I TRIGGERED THE SAME BUG WITH A NATIVE GIMP FILTER (but in a different way)!


Drop Shadow (a native GEGL filter) does a very similar bug when the composition is resized.

When editing Drop Shadow again it applies to everything but when I hit ok. but then it clips the " t".

The only way to fix it is to restart Gimp or duplicate the composition and save; same as the GEGL Effects bug.




Maybe its possible it isn't GEGL Effects exclusive, that's a relief.

UPDATE, THIS BUG IS UNRELATED TO CMYK STUDENT'S BUILD. MORE INFO ABOUT IT CAN BE FOUND HERE

I just found another bug where presets of all GEGL filters don't remember any color but their default. This happens for all native GEGL filters and my plugins.
Even after making new presets.




PLEASE TELL ME THIS BUG WILL BE RESOLVED AND I WON'T HAVE TO EDIT ALL PLUGINS OF MINE TO FIX IT.

because it seems new presets don't have this issue but all old ones from Gimp 2.10 that I imported are broke when it comes to remembering colors.

The same thing even happens with presets made in Gimp 2.99.17

I triggered the clip bug again with my plugin glossy balloon and native Gimp filter drop shadow. Glossy Balloon does not use a "gegl:crop" node so my original hypothesis is wrong unless somehow glossy balloon's internal "gegl:rgb-clip" is causing it.



btw the bug is triggered by moving a text layer with the move tool.

Color Overlay (gegl:color-overlay) got an error when loading curves on it and it made its color invisible until I re-edited it.

@cmyk_student

Does a Gimp build exist that has the following.

1. the master opacity and blend mode bug fixed

2. the color remembrance bug fixed

3. working presets with colors

The main branch should have 1 and 3 now, and I just rebased my branch which allows loading/saving color properties.

I am discouraged from doing proper testing until all three criteras are met. But I will still test and look for bugs in master.

I need a hug cuz there's a new bug. lol


New bug that causes filters to only clip left and upward but not down and right.

This happens both on native filters and my plugins and strangely enough it usually only happens when the filter is applied by pressing "ok" before that it works normal.






The bug also happens to native Gimp filterws
