National Geographic Script

September 22, 2008 - 22:27 — elsamuko

This script simulates a high quality (portrait) photo like these from the National Geographic.
Copy it into the scripts folder from GIMP, you will find it then under Filters -> Generic -> National Geographic.
Thanks to Martin Egger for the shadow revovery and the sharpen script, which I included in the script.

Update1: Added local contrast option.
Update2: Optional inverted layer mask for brighter skin types.
Update3: Added a batch version of this script, run it with
gimp -i -b '(elsamuko-national-geographic-batch "picture.jpg" 60 1 60 25 0.4 1)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
or for more than one picture
gimp -i -b '(elsamuko-national-geographic-batch "*.jpg" 60 1 60 25 0.4 1)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
Be careful, the batch script overwrites the original image. More info here:
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/
Update4: Fix for the batch script, it merges now all layers before saving.
Update5: Extensive internal fixes. Better defaults. And all edits are executed on extra layers.
Update6: Batch script also updated.

For all scripts together, go here:

error message?

Hi i was soooo excited about this script, the difference is amazing and i managed to copy it to the scripts folder and everything worked out fine until i actually went to use it and it came up with this error message:

Error while executing elsamuko-national-geographic:
Error: eval: unbound variable: cadr

What does that mean?

Where did the color go!

Used NG-filter on MacOS Snowleopard. Good sharpness but were did the colors go? A red barn became black.
Maybee the solution could be to before NG-filter make a new layer with realy fat colors and opacity say 25% . And the apply NG-Filter

Using elsamuko-national-geographic.scm on command line

Hello, Is it possible to use this script using command-line. I'm trying to apply this script for 20 photos. I thought it would be helpful if I can batch process this on the command-line. Hope to hear from you soon! Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. "Once GNU is written, everyone will be able to obtain good system, just like air." - Sir Richard M.

Unable to add new plugins & scripts

I really have no idea how to add these to my gimp, but I would think I just click on the link, it loads, then opens gimp and there it is. But I won't load. It says unknown file type, error. Can anyone help me???

Look solution

If you are using Gimp 2.6 you may need to look in to the Plugins folder instead of the Scrip Good luck hope this helps

No, the folders for scripts

No, the folders for scripts and plug-ins are still the same with 2.6.

Unable to get plugin into Gimp 2.4.7 on Mac

I cannot seem to figure out how to get any plugins to work. I have Mac Intel, Gimp 2.4.7, Scrip-Fu. I have located my plugins file as well as the scripts file, but I cannot download and copy the plugins. When I click on the link it is downloaded as a document. I cannot open to save, and I cannot drag to any of the above folders. I am completely at a loss as to how to do this. Any help would be great. Think of it as trying to help a pre-schooler do this. That is where I am at. Thanks for your patience and help.

Sure, I'm not the best guy

Sure, I'm not the best guy to help you, for I am not really a friend of Steve Jobs. A script-fu file is nothing but a text file. I never used a Mac, but I know Linux, and it identifies a file the same way as Mac OS. It does not "look" to the .scm extension as Windows does, but to the file's contents and "sees" it is text. I suppose that if you drag the document into your scripts directory, it must be copied there. Don't forget to restart Gimp or refresh the scripts (Xtns > Script-fu > Refresh scripts) after you copied them. Another solution: Elsamuko made a zip archive of 12 .scm files (among them National Geographic). Go and look there: http://sites.google.com/site/elsamuko/ François Collard.
