evtonic3 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Just curious if anyone has G'MIC installed as one of their plugins on Affinity? If so what version DL was it that worked? Volker Krenz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 19, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi evtonic3, As far as i know G'MIC is not available as a Photoshop plugin. It's not possible to run/install it in Affinity Photo. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what version DL was it that worked? As MEB said the G'MIC plugin isn't Photoshop API related and thus wouldn't work with AP, instead that plugin API is more related to GIMP and Krita addons. Further also actually the libgmic image processing library (see here) isn't AFAIK part or linked in AP, which would then at least allow to reuse some of the G'MIC capabilities. - However, what you can do instead -but which might not be what you initially wanted- is to use it's command-line interface from a shell, which in turn is an interpreter for the image processing language of the same name and has no GUI. Beside that G'MIC also has an online service nowadays.

Volker Krenz Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 But g'mic has now appeared as a plugin for PS and Affinity. Unfortunately currently only for Win10 and not for iOS. I downloaded GmicPlugin v1.1.3, scanned it for viruses and installed it. It is a little slow to load but works very well. It can be obtained from the original g'mic website: gmic.eu As I see it, it currently only works in 8 bit, but that's a start. I applied it to a duplicated pixel layer and then limited the bokeh effect used here with a mask. lacerto and evtonic3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nezumi Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I just want to say that G'mic works very well with the newest Affinity Photo 1.9! In fact I was shocked how well it works - WAY faster then with Krita or Gimp on the same machine. Really I couldn't be happier. I think it is really underappreciated set of filters.

ellycolor Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 To install the G'MIC filter, go to the link mentioned by @nezumi, and install one of the .zip files for 32 or 64 bit operating system. While Affinity Photo is opened, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Photoshop Plugin. Click on "Open Default Folder in Explorer". This will lead you to the directory of Affinity Photo Plugins. Open the GMiC Plugin .zip file that you downloaded. Extract both he "gmic" folder and the "GmicPlugin.8bf" file from the .zip into the Plugin folder (like in the following example): (Note: status.json is a default file from the Plugin folder of Affinity Photo.😞 Go back to Affinity Photo. In the Photoshop Plugin window, check "Allow "Unknown" plugins to be used". The GMIC plugin should appear in the Detected Plugins list, like in the following example: Close Affinity Photo and reopen it. Now the GMIC filters can be found at Filters -> Plugins -> GMIC. nezumi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellycolor Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 By the way, I'm using the Affinity Photo 1.8.5 (can't use 1.9 for the moment) and when I use Colorize Lineart (for automated color fill for my lineart drawings) from the GMIC list, it shows the expected result in the preview panel, but when I click "OK", nothing happens (this works in Krita, btw). In rest, most filters work pretty well in Affinity Photo. Not sure why it works in Krita and not in Affinity Photo, even with the latest version of GMIC.

I am on 1.9 and same thing with this particular filter. I guess its related to g'mic itself not to Affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it happen with the older version, too, or is it new to this new version of the plugin?

With other plugins that show this phenomenon (such as Topaz and Nik), the workaround is to rasterise the image first.
