| project's 16th anniversary!
|
| On this occasion, we summarize the recent features added to our
| open-source framework for digital image processing.

|
| If you're a Gimp user you may already have this plugin.

| Note that the plan to resolve it is "convert the
| resynthesizer plugins from Python 2 to Python 3" but AFAIK
| this hasn't happened yet.
|
| This bug occurs in one computer but not in the other. And
| once I discovered G'mic I honestly lost the drive to dig
| deeper into why this happens.

| G'mic is a great tool. I use the QT-Plugin for Krita.

| The only problem I have is that I don't use it very much and if I
| do, I'm just overwhelmed by all the effects and parameters. I'm
| sure there's great value there... But, if you don't know exactly
| what you're looking for? Well, be prepared to click around for
| ages finding something cool. I have no idea how to improve that,
| but I find it annoying.
|
| It would be also great for the effects to not be destructive.
| Like using it with filter layers. But unfortunately this seems
| not to be possible.
