2 ton, self quote from my first message



so no need anymore to create/edit a gmic file, "filter update" (or refresh filters or how is wrote in English) is a button close to the preview windows just below the filter list

I have tried to click that, but nothing seems to happen! How can I tell if updates and new filters have been added? Right now it says I have 444 filters.

Did you first checked the boxes in About/additional filters ?

PC, for me in 2.7 it will not let me update, so I prefer to just edit the G'MIC File, because well updating G'MIC manually doesn't get your guys ones, just new ones from the Whole G'MIC build.
Could someone post the code here? Spoiler would be great

Huzah!
Gotta go or I would have messed around more

I do not have an additional filters in my about menu and therefore do not have PhotoComix Filters either. my g'mic version is 1.4.7.0, by the way.

that is why
You need to update now is 1.4.9.1 and there are changes that are not backward compatible.

as example all old filters that use Value mode will give errors on 1.4.9 and on the other hand all new scripts that use Value, Lightness, Luminosity,Grain merge or grain combine mode are unusable on previous versions

this version of GN could be even be used with older gmic, but not with the option for value mode

hemm...be a bit patient there is a couple of things that i want correct yet
(preview size should be 1:1 and yet i am not happy with the default )

When I do update to the newest gmic, do I need to remove the old one first? Heh, I have not removed a program from a mac before, so I hope I don't create a disaster!

2 ton , i always install my scripts and plugin from Gimp Preferences (see pinned in resource board for how to, it is very simple,even simpler then usual way ) and in that case there is no problem to unistall, it is only needed to change path

And that even allow if needed to mantain older version of plugins (only one may work, but is possible decide which just changing the path )

Anyway i can't image what may go wrong , if you remember where you placed the older version of gimp then should be not even needed to delete it first, just drop the new files there and accept overwriting is sufficent

I do know exactly where my gmic file is...so overwriting might be the easiest way!

This is the new default (changes should be effective in a few hours, i didn't updated yet the file on the server)

Woah I love that one on the Bird!

That is very nice, PhotoComix.

the new default will be on the server in a few hours i just checking last detail

could effect on the sea, but anyway i chose as default something more smooth (but hopefully with still neat edges )

so next time you refresh filters should be there, with a 1:1 preview

DONE !!

well, I just discovered GMIC (where the HECK have I been????)

installed it and made this using two layers each with two different effects. I tried to get something subtle
