Sharpening tool, uses blurred mask. Sharpness is modified with few sliders that work like a kind of equalizer. User can control blurring parameters (radius and treshold for selective blur mask). It provides 4 types of output: Sharpenned image, mask, split/comparision mode and mask-to-img differences.
Brightness of image can be affected by levels-like tool that works indirectly - via the mask.
See attached screenshot for more info.

Plugin is multithreaded.

Downloads (source code with instructions for linux) and few sample images http://code.google.com/p/aumask/wiki/Introduction.

Any comments and feature requests welcomed.

Bonjour,

See decompose.c (plugin from sources) :

static void extract_lab (const guchar *src,
gint bpp, gint numpix, guchar **dst);

I see, only this is own function of this plugin, and not gimp's function.

I will look at it and consider copying it (or rather formulas employed there) to aumask.....

Thanks Tibor/samj. Both 64-bit (2.7.3 GIMP) and 32-bit (2.6.11 GIMP) plugins work without crashing with embedded alpha. :)

thanks, you are fast...

Still crashes with alpha channel (transparancies) at least with the 32-bit plugin. Will try the 64-bit version later, but my gut tells me that one will have issues too. :)

edit:

64-bit crashes with alpha Channel too. :)

You are right, I must say I did not tested this feature, because this was quite simple change - I believed. Right now I checked the code once more and implementation of this feature is little bit more complex.

Anyway there are more issues with 0.6.5, so in few days I will prepare new (still development) version. I will make sure, alpha channel will work there.

And thank you for feedback

Still, I do like this plugin and can see some benifit using it for cutting through fog. Thankyou for the plugin and thanks to samj for compiling it for Windows (since I have no knowhow on how to do that). :)

is available on google code, alpha channel works, I tested it.
Perhaps samj or anybody will compile it for you and everybody.

If it work without issues, I will make "stable" version 0.7 and take some break - It seems there are no other feature requests in this regard (except the LAB, of course)
