G'mic 4.0: Squaring the Pixel, Easier (gmic.eu)

I love the SteamFace Machine UI -- you don't see interfaces made with that level of care and artistry often any more.

It looks a really nice library, somewhat surprised I haven't heard of it before, but glad it's getting upvotes on HN now!

I spent a short amount of time reading about the scripting language. It's a pipeline of commands and seems very powerful, but I haven't grokked how it works in terms of complex pipelines -- there's no visual editor. I was impressed seeing the graduated blur example,[*] simply because I see this done so badly often and yet right at the top of the page was a nice example.

Our yearly G'MIC recap is out!

Beyond the 4.0 release announcement, this article dives into a year of work behind the scenes: - New filters in G'MIC-Qt (Pixel Stretch, Marker Drawing, Heightfield Warp...) - The variational color transfer algorithm, with its guided mode - New core commands, creative coding scripts, the gmic-interactive-demos repo, and more

Don't miss it!


Very happy that this framework is still in active development! It's invaluable for more advanced image manipulation in GIMP.
