Hello there,

I’m happy to announce the release of a new version (numbered 1.7.5) of the G’MIC image processing framework. As always, I encourage upgrading to this new version as soon as possible .

Note that due to important changes in the language parser, previous versions won’t get filter updates anymore.

What is G’MIC?

G’MIC is a full-featured open-source framework for image processing. It provides several different user interfaces to convert/manipulate/filter/visualize generic image datasets, ranging from 1d scalar signals to 3d+t sequences of multi-spectral volumetric images, thus including 2d color images.

G’MIC main project page : http://gmic.eu

G’MIC plug-in for GIMP : http://gmic.eu/gimp.shtml

G’MIC web service : https://gmicol.greyc.fr/

The following is the full Changelog of the version 1.7.5, as compared to the previous stable version 1.7.4.

Enjoy !

New features:

[gimp] New filter Details / Dcp Dehaze that helps removing haze in photographs (thanks Jérome Boulanger for this great contribution!).

[gimp] New filter Film Emulation / PictureFX that proposes 9 new CLUTs to apply, designed by Marc Roovers (available from : http://www.digicrea.be/haldclut-set-style-a-la-nik-software).

Improvements:

[core] Using one,two or three dots to specify shortcuts for respectively [-1],[-2] and [-3] is now generalized to command arguments (those shortcuts were valid only for commands selections).

[core] Libgmic can now be compiled to work with 16bits half-float images.

[core] The core code has been slightly optimized : 1. by minimizing the number of internally thrown exceptions, 2. by improving the command instanciation code.

[stdlib] Command -input_clut is more robust, and is able to load 1d clut files as well.

[stdlib] Command -sort_list is now able to sort list of images according to the image titles (lexicographic order).

[stdlib] Commands -average_files , -median_files , -average_video and -median_video now works with 16bits/channel images.

[gimp] Slight redesign of the plug-in GUI, to minimize mouse motion when having to select an ‘Input/Output’ option.

Bug fixes:

[stdlib] Fix serious bug in command -decompress_rle .

[gimp] Fix tiny preview size issue when using plug-in with GIMP 2.9.x.
