Extract the contents of the zip-file into your own, local plug-ins directory.


Contents zip-file:
=================
Line-Border.py (old name: kym-border.py)
LineBorder \__init__.py
    |              \gui.py
    |              \LineBorder.glade
    |              \LineBorder.py
    |              \LineBorderProfile.py

Color Selective Blur 0.6.2 Win_64bit

 Color Selective Blur [colorblur.exe]

 

Author: Tibor Bamhor [aka: tiborb95]
In menu: Filters → Blur → Color Selective Blur

Source & homepage here.

Author's description:

"... Gimp plugin that selectively blurs the color information (both hue and saturation) and optionally brightness in image.
There are about three basic scenarios / reasons to use this: * saturating poorly saturated images * denoising noisy images * creating cartoon-like images.
The plugin blurs selectively, and a side effect is that it "sharpens" transitions between two colors.
The plugin have three basic outputs - blur color only, blur also brightness (~cartoon mode, with two variants) and creation of lines..."

Compilation by Samj here.

Same plugin version compiled in two different orientations:

1. Orientation VERTICAL:

Diego Easy Voronoi

 Easy Voronoi  [DIEGO_QUANTIZE_EasyVoronoi.py]

Author: Diego Nassetti "dinasset"
In menu: Diego → Quantize → Easy Voronoi...

Author's description:


Applies textures (Voronoi textures) randomly to the color areas: no sophisticated research into applying the best texture with color or lume; it's a little filter.
Therefore, the results are sometimes good and sometimes worse (depending on the texture selected by the filter for each area).
Give it a try if you like.

 
The attachment also includes (~17 MB) a starting set of 55 patterns (png) "Voronoi_Diego" + 32 patterns (jpg) "Voronoi_Issa"; as usual, you can add/remove whatever you want.

Lots of examples here.

Voronoi Ver.2.2 Bigger Preview Win_64bit

 Voronoi [voronoi.exe]

Author: David Necas "Yeti"
In menu: Filters → Render → Pattern → Voronoi...
Sources: here.

 

 Description

Technically, Voronoi generates 2D Voronoi diagrams of various semi-random sets of points and then visualizes them somehow.

What are Voronoi diagrams

Imagine a finite set of points in some metric space (or just just normal n-dimensional space, if you don't know much about metric spaces).
If you now take any point of the space, there definitely exists a point of the set which is closest to this point.
This way the set breaks the space to parts, (called cells below) each consisting of points nearest to a one point of the set.
This division is what is called Voronoi diagram of the set (roughly).


 Cell type:

Color Clip

 Color Clip [color_clip.py]

 Author: khalim19
In menu: Colors  /Color Clip...

Color Clip darkens/brightens a given percentage of the darkest/brightest pixels in a drawable.
The drawable can be a layer, layer mask or a channel.

Color Clip works similarly to the Normalize in GIMP-2.8 (Colors -> Auto -> Normalize) removed from Gimp-2.10 - but available here: # 10 "contrast-normalize.exe", except that the black and white clip percentages are adjustable.
In fact, Color Clip with the percentages set to 0% achieves the same effect as Normalize.

Color Grading Ver.1.7.5

 Color Grading [color_grading_cw_v175.py]

Author: John Lakkas [johnlak]
In menu: Colors / Color Grading...
Author's website here.


One of the few Python plugins (gtk) that offers a preview (even in two modes: Size: L or S).
Additionally, you can save your selected settings (a file is created : colorgrading.profiles in the plug-ins directory) and load the selected one.
Color Grading plug-in, creates a cine image look based on user input.
For a contemporary image look, use complimentary colors in shadows and highlights.
It is also preferable to be used on a somewhat neutral image (ie pre white balanced) for best control of the final result.
If it's not a raw image balance it before with Color Balance 2.


The Color Grading plug-in is also available in GMIC

In GMIC you will find it under: Colors, Color Grading.


Changelog Version: 1.7.5
MrQ: add "path" to Gimp Samj portable.
