Hi Boris,
I guess you have the GâMIC gimp plugin installed? Which version do you use?
Hi Boris,
I guess you have the GâMIC gimp plugin installed? Which version do you use?
Yes Sebastien, Iâm using GâMIC plugin Version 1.7.9.
Iâm still using version 1.7.7, maybe something has changed in the more recent version, but Iâm not a GâMIC / script expert⊠I hope someone more knowledgeable will chime in.
In the mean time, I added another step to my workflow, which consists in a tone mapping step (-gimp_map_tones_fast 15,0.5,11,0) at the beginning of the workflow, which exagerates the illustrated look. Hereâs the new version of the script:
hillustrative.scm (2.7 KB)
@s7habo Boris, I ran into the same problem by updating to GâMIC 1.7.9, it happens because the -gmic_anisotropic_smoothing
command has been renamed to -gimp_smooth_anisotropic
.
So with GâMIC >= 1.7.9, please use the following script:
hillustrative.scm (2.7 KB)
If you think the latest change I made (adding the -gimp_map_tones_fast
step) is too strong, you can either comment line 13 in the script, or tweak the settings for this filter.
It is quite strong interference in the picture, I mean the effect looks like a paint
Here is comparison: https://spls.blue-note.pl:53443/owncloud/index.php/s/zdFQD6I9QIZ5vWI
Thank you for sharing your script, works fine with gimp 2.8!
Hereâs a new version of the script, this time you can select toggle whether you want the tone mapping effect or not, and I changed the tone mapping settings to have a more subtle effect.

@paperdigits please upload this new version of the script for the scripts repo.
Aaaaaaaand⊠I used your script and decreased opacity on the layer named graphic novel to ca 60% and voila https://flic.kr/p/Qwm1YL
Default was just too much
I worked on the script again, I set the default opacity of the graphic novel layer to 50%, and I added two more options, so now you can toggle:
Hereâs a photo downloaded from pixabay (CC0 Public Domain, https://pixabay.com/en/music-guitar-electric-guitar-sound-890877/):
After running the script, all three options turned OFF:
With tone mapping ON:
With tone mapping + desaturation ON:
And with tone mapping + desaturation + vintage ton ON:
To finish, hereâs another neat image (CC0 Public Domain, https://pixabay.com/en/hat-fashion-style-happy-man-591973/):
And after running the script with tone mapping + desaturation, and afterwise turning off the graphic novel layer, and duplicating/masking the detail layer to make the face and clothes grungier:
Pretty cool, isnât it?
Edit: hereâs the updated script:

Updated in the repo.
Hi SĂ©bastien,
Iâd be interested to convert your .scm script directly as a GâMIC filter, if you agree with that idea.
We could then have a filter preview, to see the effect of each parameters directly without having to apply the filter on the whole image. Also, it could hit a larger user base.
What do you think ? Iâm not an expert in .scm scripting, so maybe Iâll need help at some point
Hello David,
Sure, that would be nice to have it directly in GâMIC, though I donât know if you the âhigh passâ (grain extract/merge layer modes) used in my script can be replicated in GâMIC. I know that using a frequencies layer from wavelet decomposition is similar, but it is not exactly the same it looks, in my opinion, slightly less realistic.
Iâm almost sure it can. Those blending modes are also implemented in GâMIC.
Iâll take a look more closely at your script tomorrow and see what I can do.
For those running the current development version of GâMIC 1.8.0_pre, you should be able to access the SĂ©bastien Guyaderâs filter which Iâve just converted as a GâMIC filter.
It is located in the category Artistic/, as shown below:
Iâve made the filter parameters a bit more flexible than with the original .scm script (sliders instead of just checkboxes), and there is a working split preview as well.
Please tell me if that is working for you. You need the development version 1.8.0 of the plug-in that you can find here : http://gmic.eu/files/prerelease/
Also, for curious people, here is the piece of GâMIC code I had to write, to convert the original .scm file into a GâMIC filter : http://pastebin.com/Fvf0BDzz
Any feedback is welcome
Thanks David, it works great!
@patdavid awesome. Thanks for sharing again. Itâs going on my personal Dokuwiki. Iâm only sad I didnât discover it before processing and posting my comic-con images. I ended up going for a film simulation from RT to get a bit more unique than usual. Have you ever thought of combining everything from beginning of site to 2016 into an epub/pdf and then doing one yearly? Allows people to see them if the net is off or something happens to the site. Your tutorials are awesome and worth saving.
@David_Tschumperle your last post here about the Guyader filter - is that filter in Artistic a filter to automatically do all this in one step?
@Morgan_Hardwood could this be achieved in one go in RT?
I hadnât considered it before, but now I am! @paperdigits was recently working on a print style for the site as well - I guess we could leverage that to produce something.
Challenge accepted! Though it probably wonât be challenging
