Lomo Script with Old Style Colors for GIMP 2.4

This script simulates the Lomo effect. Copy it into the scripts folder from GIMP, you will find it then under Filters -> Light and Shadow -> Lomo.
The original from Francois Le Lay can be downloaded here. The idea of C41 colors comes from here. I added sharpness, repaired the double vignetting problem and added some nice colors, especially the beautiful green sky effect from Lomo pictures. Examples can be found here.
Attention, results may make happy.

Update: I refreshed the colors and added another vignette, but this is black and can be moved and resized. The result should be made grainy with my other script, then it looks more realistic.
Update2: The overlayed vignettes are moving now with the black vignette. That means all vignettes have the same center.
Update3: I added a slight lens distortion to simulate the wide angle lens of the Lomo LC-A. And if you own the grain script already, you can uncomment line 285 of this script to get a grainy black vignette automatically. Example here.
Update4: New color "Autumn" to simulate this. To include vignette graininess, uncomment line 314. Result here and very impressive here.
Update5: I mixed the angle distortion up, now it bends to the right direction. And the source code became prettier thanks to Dr. Scheme.
Update6: I added optional motion blur to simulate 'bad' lenses, see here.
Update7: Two new colors Movie and Vintage. Also more decent sharpness with layer mask. And I included the grain for the black vignette, so you don't have to do this. Examples here and here.
Update8: New color Xpro LAB from this book. Example here.
Update9: Possibility to inverse the A and B dimensions of the LAB color space. Example here.

Script does not work with B&W images?

Hi,

I tried this script, and it's previous avatar on a b&W (originally a RGB) image, but kept getting the following error: Error while executing script-fu-lomo: Error: set!: unbound variable: endingx. Can it be fixed?

why i cant install it on my gimp?

im using mac and gimp 2.4.7.
why after i copied it to the plug-ins folder, nothing appears in light and shadow? it should appear Lomo right?

help! i really really want this. it look awesome. :(

it's a script, not a plugin

hello,

it's a script, not a plugin (check the system file that is a ".scm"

- check you script folder: Edition -> preference -> folder
- put the lomo script in the good folder
- in gimp, go to filter, script-Fu, actualize
- lomo is in Filter -> shadow & Light

Script

nice job

Hi,

Impressive job mate! Can someone check memory usage?. I'm working on 10 mega pixel image and 1,2 GB is eaten by the gimp while running the script.

Regards,

Tom

Thx

GIMP uses a lot of memory because it keeps the image just as several Undos as a RAW image in its cache. When you execute some complex procedures, the RAM usage can be pretty extreme. Especially this script uses some RAM-eating functions like motion blur, lens distortion, sharpen and grain.
As a workaround you can disable these and execute them individually after you have executed the script and have saved, closed and reopened (ctrl-1) the image.
For more explanations see here:
