G'MIC Bokeh effect very different in preview compared to applied

Hello everyone!

I am trying to apply bokeh effect (Artistic > Bokeh) to some photos. But apparently the G'MIC preview is very different from what you get when you apply the effect, especially in the size of the circles (I can't get big circles).
Do you have the same problem?

Using Kubuntu Linux 64bits, G'MIC 1.6.0.2

Hello Yafu, I get this using default settings. I don't know if it is big or not. Can it depend on the size of the image?

YAFU, you may want to take a look at the Free Form Bokeh script in the Registry.

@Issabella, Maybe it depends on image size and I am confused when using very big photos. Anyway, it would be nice if G'MIC would allow set much larger size in the circles (it's a request David :hehe

)

@Oregonian, Interesting filter! It took me a while to learn how to use it

You must first make a selection anywhere on the image to determine the shape, for example with "ellipse select tool". You can make more than one selection with different shapes and sizes (shift key while selecting).

Thank you both!
