Male Lions on Rock by wwarby, on Flickr

I like these PC, expecially the graphic boost ones; hope to see your presets posted soon.

I love the "delicate" one...the colors look like they are washed out by strong sunlight, just like they might be out on the african plains.

Those all look really great. I particularly like the sharp graphic boost one.

I like the smooth one...it looks like it could be vector. =)
Nice PC.

Amazing results, PC. I like them all.

I really like all of those, PC, for different reasons. The upper set of the single male lion sort of remind me of mosaics with their darker lines. I particularly like the way the lines bring out the background detail of the stone. The second set remind me of very detailed pen-and-ink drawings with a color wash added. I once had a roommate that would do pen-and-inks of animals and landscapes as a hobby and he was quite good - even had some art shows.

very pleased for the feedback maybe in a few hours i would be back with a gmic preset

Are these done with g'mic? If so, what filters were you using?

Yes all done with gmic
about the filter used is actually a combination of filters that i try to assemble in a single one.

basically the original is sharpened (Unsharp mask, the single lion) or the local contrast increased with local normalization (couple of lions)
Than a is duplicated on a new layer and a bw pencil effect applied on this layer
new layer is merged down (hard light, multiply or overlay mode ) ...and optionally smoothed

script is ready

and works (maybe it could works even betterin a future, but finally is ready and does work !)

for the most impatient copy the code below,
then if you already have a .gmic file in your home directory (close to a gmic_def.1452 and to a gmic_fav files) paste there
If not just save as .gmic there (in windows you may use Notepad plus to save as .gmic ...don't forget the dot...

x2 I really love the gmic plugin man, you're doing a great job with it too! When my computer gets back up I gotta make something your you. It's not much but it'll be something for your all your hard work.

btw

humm
i notice now that in the filter there is something wrong in the last 3 sliders, checking now

FIXED
It was just a bloody,damned, cursed extra blanc space to make a mess

please if was so quickly to get before, replace with the corrected one

OK PC; tried putting this where the gmic stores both the def file and the favs file and do a refresh, but I Don't see you plugin. Even tried putting it the plugins directory for GIMP but don't see it. Not sure if this is an issue with Win7 or not. Oh well. Don't feel like burdening Dave with this one right now. Might try to hack at it later.

i answered already

but anyway i hope you have something better then the notepad ,notepad++ would be perfect

Simply copy the script ,paste and save there (i see you already find where ) as .gmic

just .gmic but not forget the cursed bloody dot, without the dot before the name no joy (that's why i suggested Notepad ++ instead then M$ notepad, M$ notepad may choke complain and start to make fuzz at any attempt to save with a name starting with a dot)

PS
just and only .gmic not .gmic_tom_filter or something alike ,

there may be 1 or more filters, they just need to be separated by empty lines

as here ....

gmic filter1 : dumb_filter, dumb_filter
here fake code for the dumb_filter

gmic filter2 : dumb_filter2, dumb_filter2
here fake code for the dumb_filter2

you may add comments in the .gmic file BUT if you do always start the line with #
as

# holy crap this filter does nothing at all !
gmic filter1 : dumb_filter, dumb_filter
here fake code for the dumb_filter

Your solution that you posted at Flickr worked. For the other novice folk like me, follow the thread at the end of my comments. Like your preset by the way PC. Think it's a keeper.

Hooray! Profound thanks for the preset, PC!
