I'll give it a play when I get back to my desk in a couple of hours. I think it'll actually be a lot simpler than they make it look.

copy your layer,
desaturate it using luminocity
set it to multiply mode. 100%
copy that layer
invert the color
set it to saturation mode about 50%

looks pretty close to me.

Hey, jeffegg2, that looks nice! 4th step should be: merge down (or not?)

jeffegg2    says:

well, depends on if you want to keep each layer seperate. save what you have as .xcf file, then flatten and then save as .jpg is what I usually do.

stepanekos says:

yes, you're right! I've made a mistake setting upper layer to multiply. (By the way I ask myself, why the Photoshop way seems so complicated. Some extra clicks for the extra bucks?)

Jeff you're brilliant! Thanks!

Where do you find the luminocity? I would like to try this but I don't know where things are yet on gimp. Please help.

fencepost says:

Hi, JMBull!

You can find it on the open image window under the Colors Menu > Desaturate...(there are 3 desaturation options there, with one of them being luminosity)

Cheers!

I've put together a GIMP scheme script that will perform the above mentioned muted color steps. The muted color script can be downloaded --> here.

I believe this approach www.flickr.com/photos/ptyap/2082069989 gives better results and offers more flexibility.

Thanks alebedenko, that approach does provide better results. The s-curve procedure is more subtle than the previous method and can provide a better control over the result.

I've changed the script I put together to reflect the inverted s-curve based procedure. Like before the script can be downloaded --> here

SOULFX...I get a ".htm" file when I download...How do I convert to the right extension for a script?

Try right click on link and "Save link as..."
It should produce SCM file then.

soulfx - thanks a lot!

very cool....just removed ".txt" and all is good! I really like the effect very much...seems a tad warmer. Thank You!

alebedenko says:

soulfx -- do you think that leaving layers un-merged may be a good idea? E.g. for further adjustment of opacity between them. So, may be just comment those two lines out?
Posted 53 months ago. (permalink)

soulfx says:

alebedenko,

Keeping the layers un-merged is a good idea. During my tests changes in the opacity of the adjustment layers didn't change the final result much. I found that better results could be obtained from adjusting the curves and saturation of each un-merged layer.

I've updated the script with an option to disable the layer merge and added a saturation reduction adjustment. During testing I found that setting the saturation reduction to -50 will produce similar results to the images produced by jeffegg2's method. -25 is a nice compromise.

2008-01-14 Update
I've tweaked the value level's s-curve a little so that the muted image isn't so dark after the effect has been applied.

What is the name of the filter? I can't find it in my filter selection tools
Posted 53 months ago. (permalink)

alebedenko says:

It is not a filter it is a script. After it was copied into the script folder try:

Colors -> Mute Colors...

I loved the script, but it needs to be updated for Gimp 2.6. Please, soulfx!

I am having a look at it, I will see what I can figure out.

Here is the fixed script.

I searched the error the script was giving me and it lead me to a page with one of my scripts.... I am off to check all of my 2.4 scripts and make the 2.6 compatible.

François Collard    says:

Thank you, Tux; It works now. I noticed that several script-fu have a problem with this instruction :
(let* (,
and have also some problems with Gimp menu registration.
As I am more specialized in plug-ins (though I need script-fu too...), I compiled a Windows version of gimp-drt (aka magie-0.3, Dynamic Range Transformer), which works under Windows, but when I wanted to compile it under Linux, it did not seem to be properly registered. I should RTFM, probably...
Posted 40 months ago. (permalink)

tuxcomputers says:

Yeah the old Script-Fu allowed you to initialise a variable with no value.

Now with Tiny-Fu in 2.6 you have to set the variable and a value. I set it to a zero, then the the script sets the proper value later on.

Simply edit the plugin registration path do not work ?
(no idea How same path may work in win and not in linux, but in case i will try to change it)

Thanks for that :-)

Especially if you intend to fix a number of these 2.4 scripts to 2.6 compatability, maybe you could/should stick a change note at the top and move its menu position out of Script-Fu (I presume this one should be in Fx-Foundry-Colors?)

François Collard    says:

Thanks, Tux.
Photocomix, the trouble with the compiled Windows plugin I sent you is that the same source is correctly compiled for Windows and does not appear in the menu under Linux.
Maybe because I use older Gimp sources with MinGW Windows.
