afre's G'MIC diary

To dos

I haven’t had time to deal with the previous to dos. I have kept a list but it might not match those mentioned on the forum. I have added a handful more here: Spaniel, king of tree stumps! - #11 by afre Placing it here, in this thread, so I can remember.

Minor Update

Been working on the alt versions of afre_gui0 afre_gui1 afre_denoisesmooth . Renamed their suffixes from _fast to _alt because they are barely any faster and are more experimental in nature.

My alt custom guided filters have taken on using the builtin blur (Gaussian) instead of boxfilter (which yielded bad results) as a replacement for afre_box . It is a natural choice because box filters approximate the Gaussian blur anyway. The speed gain wasn’t all that much however.

I turned down the structure weight in afre_gui1_alt for afre_denoisesmooth_alt . It seems to fade the edges rather than preserve them when I iterate the command. I wonder if this applies whenever iteration occurs. If it does, I may consider changing the defaults to structure=0 . Since it is unique to my code, it should probably be dialed back anyway.

As usual, update your G’MICs and their filters in a couple of hours after the diary entry.
