So you finally released it?

Re: So you finally released it?

Hi, yes, although it's not stable so far, lots of works need to be done.
Thank you~

Attaching ELF binaries is a

Attaching ELF binaries is a bit uncommon, at least without also adding the source code - I've hidden it because of this.

Could you be a bit more verbose about the platform where this is supposed to run on? And where is the source code for this plug-in?

Re:Attaching ELF binaries is a

Sorry for that.
Well, I compiled it under ubuntu 8.04, with gcc 4.2.4, automake 1.7.9, gimp 2.4.5, libcv-dev 1.0.0-4ubuntu1.

I adopted gimp-plugin-template to organize the src, so the whole source package get bigger than 3M and of course it can't be uploaded onto this website. You can use SVN to download latest source from https://sourceforge.net/projects/dustcleaner/

Hope it helps. :)

This plugin is very interesting

This plugin is very interesting, but your ELF does not work with mu Gimp 2.6.4 (Ubuntu 8.0.4) - or I cannot find where it is hidden in the menu.
I didn't succeed in compiling it either, even after I compiled and installed OpenCV. Maybe I should have used the Ubuntu version? No. I have just tried while I was writing this.

Re: This plugin is very interesting

Hi, Francois, actually this plugin has not been tested on any other environments except mine. So I'm sorry that you can't run it. But I think the entry of DustCleaner should be found in the menu: filter->noise, if not, I want to know if you unpack the ELF and put it in the right place of your system.
Thanks.

I copied it there:

/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/
...and it seems to work, now. Maybe I didn't search enough in the "Noise" menu.

It removes only black dust. Is it possible to implement a white dust removal? What I'd like is a dust remover for scanned negatives and transparencies. Polaroid Dust & Scratch Removal does it perfectly, but the 8bf plugin does not work with pspi.

white dust

Have you tried with a temporary colour inversion of your image?

Re: White dust

Good idea.
I'll consider integrate color inversion in the plugin.

Will this work under windows?

winXP

No

Somebody even try to compile a Windows version but then give up
