Lomo-Gimp

ivalladt — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 13:06:35 +0200

Lomo-Gimp tries to give your digital pictures the warmth of those taken by an old rangefinder analog camera. Think of it as a Kodak Instamatic or a Lomo Holga faking effect. It enhances contrast and saturation, and applies a light and a dark overlay, trying to emulate incorrectness in exposition. Please note this does nothing to emulate the chromatic aberration peculiar in pictures taken using a real Lomo.

Pseudo Tone Fixer

sentinel1977 — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:26:03 +0100

This script tries to fix the tone of a photo taken with wrong exposure. In some landscape photos, it can have a nice effect of enhancing the colors.

The general idea is to produce different copies of the image at different gamma levels, then applying simple tone mapping techniques to produce a vibrant photo.

The script allows the user to control the number of copies by setting the lowest and highest gamma setting then the interval. For example lowest=20, highest=170, interval=10 results to (170-20)/10 = 15 copies with increasing gamma level from 0.2 to 1.7. Play around!

This is my first script and not so optimized, anyone is welcome to improve on it.
Warning, the higher the number of copies, the slower it becomes, especially on photos above 640x480. Best to try on reduced copies first.
