pdb.gimp_layer_set_composite_mode(group, LAYER_COMPOSITE_UNION)
But I’ll add the option to the script, if you can wait until this evening.
OT, sorry, but your skelecyclist images are awesome!
Option added to new version uploaded to SourceForge

Thank you so much! 
It’s part of my new “Chromadrift” collection… Available on my “Psyberspace” shops 
You can check out all my shops via this link:
I am still working on more designs in this and other genres … so stay tuned via Instagram @Mindful.Designs.Haven
Awesome Sir!
Thank you!
If you are on it… one more request (and aporopo of Barry’s comment about the image)
Can you please create a version that separates the layer into Red and Cyan channels (Union mode)? 
I tried to get ChatGPT to do it - but for some reason it doesn’t appear in the menu (I am guessing it fails to compile…?)

Can you point me out to what’s wrong? (I am not a programmer… 
)
I have some more mountain biking pics (Skeletal and not 
)
But here’s something I’m currently working on which I really like 
(Done in the two-channel red/cyan style I asked from Ofnuts )

Thank you Sir! 
Hi,
After manually Merging the G + B layers, setting them to addition, and composite to union - thousands of times …!
Can you PLEASE make a script that does it automatically?
Decompose to (R, G+B), flatten layers, addition, composite union …
PLEASE!
(I couldn’t manage to do it on my own as this is not documented… 
)
Thanks!
Are you taking about my ofn-layer-decompose script? If so I don’t see what it is missing?
