Colored pencil filter internals

[Michael_Gauland]

I frequently use the ‘Colored pencil’ filter in GIMP, and would like to understand how it works, with a mind to achieving similar results from the command-line. However, I’ve been unable to figure out where it’s implemented. Can anyone point me to the right place in the source code to get started?

Kind Regards,
Mike

@Michael_Gauland Welcome to the forum! In GIMP, you can create a new layer from the filter with the command and parameters as the layer name. This can be selected in the G’MIC plugin window.

How to replicate inpaint results from within GIMP in GMIC interpreter?

I believe @paperdigits was referring to the G’MIC filter in GMIP, [image] from which you can determine the particular command’s arguments by the new layer’s name. I haven’t used -inpaint for practical use yet but I suggest you control how much and which surrounding areas the command should use. Try using -inpaint because that is the native (console) command. The other inpaint commands are derived from this one.
