GIMP Plugin Registry

This GIMP script adds an old paper effect to the image. It is based off of the tutorial by RobA at http://forum.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?533-Tutorial-Creating...

Seperate layers are added so the image can be fine tuned after the script is run.

This will try to "guess" intermediate pixels from surrounding ones using a simple algorithm. It works with weighted averages and it can calculate slopes (the rate the intensity changes, horizontally and vertically). It may be a little slow.

You can have separate input and output masks. Be careful because it will use the first extra "channel" as the input mask. The selection is the output mask.

FIL (Film Imitation Lab) is a powerful script for old photo simulation. FIL has a modular architecture.

Current version: v1.6.0 (August 2010).

Features:

• Old color simulation by using prepaered color processes
• Film grain
• Vignette simulation
• Defect lenses simulation
• Option indication
• Batch script execution

This script produces a two colors border. You can choose the border width in % of the smallest image dimension, and the inner border width as a % of the whole border (and the colors, of course).
This can seem a bit complicated, but if you have pictures of different sizes and want a same-looking border, % will get you there.

Just remove .txt from the filename after downloading the script (don't know why it was added..)

This plug-in changes color balance to imitate images taken with Manual / Classic lenses but without any effect of degradation similar to images made with toy lenses.

This batch script includes multi-exposed single camera raw file enfusion.

* Note: Batch files where made for Windows, they need to be altered to be used in Linux or elsewhere.

Copy the .scm file to:
C:\Users\[USER]\.gimp-2.6\scripts
or
c:\Documents and Settings\[user]\.gimp-2.6\scripts

See Readme file

The simplest "scriptfu_gimp.bat" will batch process all *.tif files in the folder of the batch files.  read more »

Hi folks,

there is an update for LabCurves to have a curve for adaptive (or absolute) saturation adjustments. It is an external 16 bit program which can be semmlessly used from gimp with a python script.

Basically it is not a plugin. It is a small standalone program in C++ and a wrapper script for seemless integration into GIMP.

It allows to alter an image with 16 bit L*a*b* curves with preview. You call it like a script from gimp. The image is send to that program, you play with the L*a*b* curves and when you save the altered image is send back and everything is cleaned up...

If you ever wanted an easy way to merge three photos with different exposure settings taken from the same scene together to one image with a well balanced dynamic range - well here is the solution.

Shoot three images of one scene (with a tripod) with an exposure difference of 2-3 between two pictures. The middle one should be taken at the [P] (automatic) setting of your camera, then an over- and an underexposed one.

And be sure not to alter the aperture setting! Solely adjust the shutter speed because otherwise you would get different depth of field values.  read more »
