G'MIC plug-in
January 13, 2009 - 13:16 — dtschump
The G'MIC plug-in for GIMP defines a set of various filters, including artistic filters, image denoising and enhancement, 3D renderers, etc.. It is a quite large plug-in, integrating a lot of different effects to apply.
This plug-in is able to update his list of filter definitions from the Internet (so it improves itself over time), as well as allows any user to add its own custom filters in it.
It has been written by the author of the GREYCstoration algorithm (used for image denoising). It is actually intended to replace it in a near future.

G'MIC plug-in
I love this plug-in. Thank you for sharing it.
You're welcome !
Actually, I've been hoping that someone (else than me) can find it useful.

G'MIC 1.3.2.8
I'm happy to announce the release of the 1.3.2.8 binary update of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP. There is actually only minor 'visible' improvements compared to previous versions, mainly bug corrections and improvements of the internal engine.
This is probably the latest release of the year, so I hope you'll enjoy it.

David.
Exposing parameters to scripts?
Any thoughts on exposing the parameters for use when scripting? It would be nice to be able to call the GMIC plugin from a script.
-Rob A>
That's a very nice idea, and
That's a very nice idea, and I have some clues to do it.
But unfortunately, I'm not enough aware of how GIMP scripts work.
As G'MIC defines itself a complete language, it would be quite easy to manage, since the plug-in would require only a single parameter : a string, containing the code to execute in the G'MIC language. Then, all existing G'MIC filters could be called this way.
Doesn't look too complex to do I guess. But I need some time to investigate how this can be done, except if someone has some ideas on how to do this faster than me. Do not hesitate to contact me !
Here is the first GMIC script
As i wrote even before you created a way to call gmic from a script somebody somehow created a gimp script that use and require GMIC
http://registry.gimp.org/node/17241#comment-5752
actually i see also a recent complain on that script
i am not sure if the complain is correct
(...or if is from somebody that installed the script but not GMIC ...)
This was just a interactive
This was just a interactive call. The script open the G'Mic toolbox and then the user have to select everything manually. With the new G'Mic you can use it in non interactive mode without any manual operation.
G'MIC can now be called from a script-fu.
Dear all,
I finally had some time this week end to look at how a script-fu could call filters from the G'MIC plug-in directly, without having to use the command-line version 'gmic'. This was not too hard at all, since the GIMP plug-in API eases a lot of work. So, now it is possible to do so. Please, take a look at the example script I provide in the G'MIC source package :
http://gmic.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gmic/gmic/src/gmic_in_script.scm?...
I've started to update the plug-in on the G'MIC website. Already available for Linux, should be available for Windows before the end of the day.
I didn't change the version number since this is only a small patch that has been finally applied on the plug-in code.
Let me know if you think this is a useful stuff.
David.
there is already
Here in th registry i saw a plugin that require and call GMIC
i can't remember the name now
(or if was a python script)
You can already call a g'mic
You can already call a g'mic command line from a python-fu. Of course you need g'mic command line installed and not only gmic4gimp. To call it from a script-fu a solution could be to create a second menu entry called g'mic command line where a string as command line will be the single parameter. Then any script or plug-in could call it.
Where is the Windows 32 bit File?
I only see the tarball and the .deb files.
What about the direct link
What about the direct link that is included in the description?
It wasn't there the first time
My first attempt, the direct link just dropped me off at the sourceforge website. I came back later and the direct link uploaded a win32 zip file. Guess it was being picky beforehand.
G'MIC 1.3.2.6 released
This is mainly a maintenance version, with some bug corrections.
One filter has been added, allowing to transform images according to polar transforms.
G'MIC 1.3.2.5 has been released.
I'm happy to announce the 1.3.2.5 version of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP.
It defines some new filters, and improve some of the existing ones.
You are welcome to test it !

G'MIC, GIMP 2.6 and MacOSX... How it works!
Hi, I've found only today G'MIC for GIMP looking for an update of the graycstoration plugin. I'm on a MacBook Intel with Snow Leopard.
Unfortunately, like all the people that have Leopard and Mac, the plugin does not appear in the filter lis. Here I explain how to have it working.
WARNING: you should use terminal and root account, so be careful! I take NO RESPONSIBILITY if you do something wrong or if you damage your system.
0. I suppose you have GIMP in the Applications folder and the G'MAC file is gmac4gimp
1. Open Applications -> Utility -> Terminal
2. Copy the file gmac4gimp in the appropriate folder (Library/Application support/Gimp/plug-ins)
3. In the Terminal type:
cd Library/Application\ Support/Gimp/plug-ins/
chmod +x gmac4gimp
4. In the Terminal then type (don't worry if it says file already exists):
sudo mkdir /opt
sudo mkdir /local
cd /opt/local
5. Now type
ls
IF appear the string "lib" write:
cd lib
cp /Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/lib/* .
IF NOT write:
ln -s /Applications/Gimp.app/Contents/Resources/lib/ lib
6. Now open Gimp and G'MAC should be in Filters!!!
Bye,
Marcello Seri
Hi Marcello, that's very
Hi Marcello,
that's very interesting !
In fact, the version of G'MIC for Mac is a really old one, and I'm still looking for someone to help compiling the latest version for this architecture.
I will release the 1.3.2.5 version before next week (probably on Friday), so if you know someone interested to make it working on Mac, that would be great :
Thanks again for your trick.
David.
G'MIC 1.3.2.4
G'MIC package has been updated to version 1.3.2.4.
This is a quite stable version, hope no minor releases will be done for a quite long time.
G'MIC 1.3.2.2 is out
It's a very quick and small update of the 1.3.2.1 version, which corrects two small bugs and which add new entries for creating 'animated' versions of filters, i.e. filters that create image sequences from a set of starting parameters to a set of ending parameters.
Two screenshots of this particular feature follows :

G'MIC 1.3.2.1 is out
I'm happy to announce the release of the 1.3.2.1 version of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP. It has some new filters and small improvements (mainly internal ones, so not easily visible for the end-user).
Do not hesitate to update the plug-in binary if you are already a G'MIC user.
Regards,
David.
grain removal
I've installed this plug-in. How do I use it to remove grainess?
MCH
Look at the 'Enhancement'
Look at the 'Enhancement' section, you will find here a lot of filters that apply smart blur that can remove grain in noisy images.
Script-Fu
Is there a way to access the functions directly from Script-Fu?? The best I can see to do is to pop-up the G'MIC window :( Awesome tool!!
I'd love to see
I'd actually love to see all my filters and scripts inside this awesome plugin. It sure would free up some space on my Filters Menu.
Excellent plugin, thanks!
No, there are no ways you
No, there are no ways you can do this for the moment.
I'm sorry about that.

G'MIC 1.3.1.6, has been released, with italian translation
I posted a new version of the G'MIC plug-in, with the Italian translation included, provided by PhotoComiX and Gilmoth (Thanks a lot guys !), as well as a few debugging and small improvements. Nothing particular, the main changes/enhancements have been actually done in the G'MIC language interpreter, so this is not very visible for the user.
G'MIC 1.3.1.5 Released
Hi.
The 1.3.1.5 version of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP has been released.
It has some new features and corrections.
This is planed to be one of the latest release for a while, unless major bugs are found.
G'MIC 1.3.1.4 released.
Hi.
I've released the 1.3.1.4 version of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP.
I wrote a small text about the new features :
http://www.flickr.com/groups/gimpusers/discuss/72157617827505866/
Tremendous
I'm a professional photographer and this new GMIC is invaluable and terrific. I've tried to contact the author but not sure if I have correct email addy - but the HSV Mixer is FANTASTIC as well! Thank you so much for this.
One suggestion - is it possible to have the plugins submenus "closed" to each category upon program opening? I would prefer to not have to hit the "-" key to collapse them all. Other than that this is truly a WONDERFUL addition, and to me, indispensable. Best regards and thank you! / Paul
Hi Paul, I answered to your
Hi Paul,
I answered to your e-mail, thanks a lot for your enthusiasm :)
I think that adding a "Expand all/Compress all" button could be a good idea, what do you think about that ?

1.3.1.3 version released
The 1.3.1.3 (final) version of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP has been released today.
The important changes are :
- Type of input/output for the filters can now be set very precisely : Filter input can be set to 'none','active layer','active+below layers','active+above layers' or 'all layers'. Filter output can be set to 'replace', 'new layers' or 'new image'.
- Preview window now handles multi-layers images. Alpha-channel is also better supported.
- Lot of debugging have been done, to correct memory corruption problems due to drawables that are not valid anymore.
- Lot of new filters have been added, particularly for layer operations (blending modes). Some filters have been also debugged or improved.
- Some memory optimizations have been done.
Do not hesitate to try this one, I think this is a good release !
David.
G'MIC plug-in 1.3.1.2 released
Hi everyone !
I've just released the 1.3.1.2 version of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP.
There are a lot of changes, despite the minor version number.
There are not much "cosmetic" changes, since I mainly worked on improving the internal G'MIC engine, and design some new filters for this version.
I really hope this will be one of the last 'hard' update one has to perform, and that the next updates will be done through the "Update Filters" mechanism that is inside G'MIC (so without needing to update the plug-in binary executable). This plug-in is quite recent, so not everything is perfect yet !
But I guess it becomes usable and can be handy for some image manipulation. Hope you can test it and make some interesting remarks.
By the way, I almost forgot the link :
http://gmic.sourceforge.net/gimp.shtml
Hope you'll enjoy it !
David.
PS : Here is the result of a new 'Perspective filter' added after someone asked for it on the G'MIC forum. Just to say that we try to take your messages into account :)
G'MIC for Windows - doesn't apply results??
I'm running Gimp 2.6 on WinXP. G'MIC loads and applies the corrections in the filter preview window, but "APPLY" or "OK" does not update the original image.
Is there something in the install I might be doing wrong? Or something else?
Thanks
Dave
Works for me...
Hi.
I run the G'MIC plug-in for Windows in GIMP 2.6.4, and everything's fine.
Could you tell me a little more about your version numbers ?
Thanks,
David.
Doesn't apply changes
I'm running G'Mic 1.3.1.1 using the inverse diffusion sharpening. On closer examination, there is some change applied to the original image, but very much less than shows in the preview window. It is so much less I thought there was no change at all! I haven't worked much with the other filters yet.
Thanks
Dave
OK, this is perfectly normal
OK, this is perfectly normal (unfortunately !).
There are certain effects (like anisotropic smoothing) that are just not able to create a coherent preview (just because it would require to apply the filter on the whole image, then reduce it to the preview size).
Usually all filters that works on a 'local' scale have this behavior.
I suggest you zoom the preview to have a 1:1 zoom, then the preview should be more accurate then.
David.
OK, this is perfectly normal
I looked very carefully at what was happening. When I pushed the Inverse Diffusion amount up to 300 (the maximum, with 2 iterations) the preview image became very noisy (speckled). Obviously totally different from the original. Applying it to the original image, however, made a very small change, almost unnoticeable. I was doing this at 100% crop, that is, the preview image was the same as the original image in content.
I'd like to figure this out because this looks like a quite effective sharpening filter.
Thanks
Dave
OK, this is perfectly normal
Thanks very much for the response. I'll try that.

Not Available For Gimp 2.6 on Non Intel PPC Macs?
Since I see no universal binary download link here, am I to assume this is not available for Gimp 2.6 Mac Versions on non intel chip PPC Macs? Any plans to make a universal binary version?
Thanks.
Actually, it is very hard
Actually, it is very hard for me to have access to a well configured computer running MacOSX, so I'm afraid I won't be able to create such a binary.
It would be very nice if someone try to compile G'MIC on Mac !
David.
G'MIC 1.3.1.1
G'MIC 1.3.1.1 has been released today.
There are no spectacular changes, but interesting small improvements anyway.
G'MIC 1.3.1.1
dtschump
may you add the release number to the name of the binary ?
In case of updates, as now, is not clear if the binary for all the OS are updated,
and so is not clear when downloading if to be downloaded is the new or another copy of the old version since file name remain identical.
To find out is needed finish the download and then confront file's proprieties side to side
G'MIC 1.3.1.0 plug-in is out.
Hi. The version 1.3.1.0 of the G'MIC plug-in for GIMP is available for Windows32, Linux32 and Linux64 platforms. There few GUI improvements as well as new filters. But basically, the main enhancements have been introduced directly in the G'MIC processing core itself. The G'MIC plug-in is now able to define image filters that get input from multiple layers. It naturally extends the possibilities of image processing a lot. There are already few filters that use this feature (auto-morphing, edge-composition, etc...), and we are planning to add more via the "Update filters" procedure that connects to the Internet to update the filter definitions. You are welcome to test this new version !
David.
Wonderfull
Yes it is (wonderfull) ! You have put the preview and it is easy to use.
I am on Ubuntu, and there is no need to use the repository of Gmic.
Just put the G'MIC Toolbox file in ~/.gimp-2.*/plug-ins/, and let's rock, folks !
SIMPLY FANTASTIC!!!!
Wow, this tool is FANTASTIC!!!! Until now, we had to perform these filters with other programs. Gimp was of course able to perform, but required many filter combinations, new layers creation and too much time. But with this great tool you perform many known and unknown effects with just... one click and -the most important- with preview!!
And it's also great that a .deb file is provided for intrepid and hardy ubuntu users!! This is the easiest way to install for linux ubuntu.
Many many thanks form all gimp users, our creativity will be much better with this tool!
Please update the download link to the page that includes all versions:

install on Mac 10.5.x Leopard
MacOS 10.5.6 Intel with gimp 2.6.4
I downloaded
gmic4gimp_macintel32.zip
unzipped, and put the executable in both
/Users/henry/Library/Application Support/gimp/plug-ins
and
/Users/henry/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins
and made them both executable. I quit and restarted gimp... but G'Mic did not become visible. What am I doing wrong? Yes, I know, this style of installation is vulnerable to Gimp updates, but I want to keep it simple.
TIA,

G'MIC : Version 1.3.0.3 available
The 1.3.0.3 version of the G'MIC toolbox is available.
There are few bug corrections, as well as a compiled plug-in version for Mac OSX (Intel architectures).

Problem with G'MIC
I unzipped the file into my Gimp plugins folder as I do with other Gimp plugins but it doesn't seem to work. My other plugins, in the same folder, work fine (including GREYCstoration). Any ideas?
Win XP Pro SP3
Gimp 2.6.4
Problem with G'MIC
You refer to the Windows version, is this correct?
Then you wrote 1 file,"unzipped the file into my Gimp plugins folder " but this plugin has several files all strictly needed
I will suggest you ,instead then drop everything in a gimp plugin folder to unzip in a new folder, called as example Gmic and then link that new folder from Gimp Edit/Preferences/Folder/plugin.
The advantage? as example in case you unistall or you replace with a newer version you will not risk to forget orphan DLLs floating in your gimp plugin folder
Problem solved!
Thanks PhotoComiX.
I changed the folder containing the four G'MIC files (C:\....gimp-2.6\plugins\gmic4gimp_win32) from being a subdirectory of my plugins folder to a subdirectory of my C:\.....gimp-2.6 folder (C:\....gimp-2.6\gmic4gimp_win32) . Of course I then directed Gimp to that folder in Preferences.
No good: C:\....gimp-2.6\plugins\gmic4gimp_win32
Good: C:\....gimp-2.6\gmic4gimp_win32
I have no idea why this works, especially considering all the other plugins work from the "plugins" folder, including GREYCstoration.
Thanks again for your help.
