This is not really a tut just a quick tip related to this post viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6392

More exactly the how to but no much words are needed the xcf are self explanatory:
in each xcf 1 or 2 layers are just duplicates of the image to edit,
the other layer with a very long name full of number is the only edited layer
the final effect depend of the combination of the edited layer with the duplicate used to enhance the the effect

The zip was too heavy (about 50MB ) to be included as attachment here so i used my DA account

HOW TO APPLY THE SETTINGS

There are 2 possible methods to use that values , for the first there is a script that may convert that in additional gmic "Fav" , well help to automatize the conversion a few correction has to be done manually

this instead is the quicker way

the edited layers embed in their layers names the parameters of the Gmic command used

a example to clear, if layer name is [G'MIC] Graphic Novel : -gimp_graphic_novelfxl 0,2,6,5,20,0,0.699301,6.99301,0,1,0.727273,0.804196,1.32867,0,1,6,0.314685,1,1,0.447552,0.881119,0.699301

Just remove the part in red that till and including the ":", the rest , after the ":" is the equivalent command for the Gmic engine
(all that decimals are not strictly needed but are saved anyway )

NOTE that are the command given with a filter "Graphic Novel" BUT would be a bit complex "remap" them to the graphic interface of Graphic Novel ,i.e assign the right value to the right slider , ..it may be done but there is quicker alternative :

is GMIC> Various> Local code



now the first and last line may be kept :
to simplify that 2 lines are to take care of selection and transparency ,in the middle fo the real command

so just replace what in the middle with the desired command, in our example just paste


there and hit apply or ok
If you think to reuse you may "fav" as for any other filter

now the first and last line may be kept :
to simplify that 2 lines , the 1st and the last are to take care of selection , transparency and of multiple input/output , are not always needed but no need to remove them in the other cases..so you may just keep both

,in the middle instead should go the real command

so just replace what in the middle with the desired command, in our example just paste



there and hit apply or ok
