Hello there,
I’m trying to find the G’MIC command-line syntax for the “Repair → Smooth [Skin]” filter, but I can’t find it. Can anybody help me?
This is a command for the Repair → Smooth [Anisotropic]:
gmic .png smooth 40,0,1,1,2 output .png
But I’m looking for someting like this:
gmic .png smooth-skin 0.5,1,1,50,50,5,2,0.2,3 output .png
See the attached screenshot for possible Smooth [Skin] options, I’m using G’MIC-Qt v2.9.1.
Regards, Marcel.
To get the command line for any G’MIC-Qt filter, you can go to Settings and select this option:
i.e Output messages → Verbose (layer name).
Then apply the filter with the desired parameters. The corresponding G’MIC command line will be displayed as the name of the processed layer.
For the Smooth Skin filter, you’ll get something as:
[G'MIC] Smooth [Skin]: fx_smooth_skin 2,0.5,1,1,1,50,50,5,2,0.2,3,1,0.05,5,0,50,50
meaning, the equivalent command line is:
$ gmic input.png fx_smooth_skin 2,0.5,1,1,1,50,50,5,2,0.2,3,1,0.05,5,0,50,50 -o output.png
Hello David,
Your answer worked right-away for me! Thanks a lot.
Is there a CLI-manual to find out that this filter is called “fx_smooth_skin” ?
And an explaination of that row of comma-seperated option numbers?
But for now… I’m a happy camper! 
Regards, Marcel
No manual entry since it doesn’t have CLI comments. The code is available here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dtschump/gmic/master/src/gmic_stdlib.gmic. Hint: $1, $2, etc., are the parameters in order.
