G'MIC for GIMP

[jeffmoll]

There is a lot of wisdom in that statement. You need to master the photography before you start manipulating the image. It is easy to just apply filters and scripts but you need to a have a vision of the final piece - otherwise it very much looks as if the photographer has applied the filters for the sake of it. A good example of this was in the 70's and early 80's when Cokin made filters cheaply available to all. Do you remember those awful tobacco grads, starlights and peephole acetate filters. I had them and used them profusely - just about every novice did....the result - predictable and kitsh. I still worry about that in my digital images but I think knowing that you can produce passible images without resorting to the digital tabacco grad helps with the confidence.


Or it could be that you have developed a winning formula that does not need ICIs resident chief chemist to break down into it's component elements. I think creative simplicity is a sign of the master not the scholar.

Very well said Steve!

You seem to be doing everything right. Are you using GIMP 2.6? I will PM you with a link to a Mediafire folder where I have placed a copy of the file that sits in my plugin folder....I am virus free according to Clam
