G’MIC 1.6.5.1 brings small changes only.
As you may know, G’MIC (GREYC’s Magic Image Converter) is a editing tool, that can be used with GIMP or as a standalone application, being available for both Linux and Windows. G’MIC provides a window which enables the users to add more than 500 filters over photos and preview the result, in order to give the photos some other flavor.
G’Mic comes with different interfaces: a command-line tool, an interface for webcam manipulation, build in Qt and a library and plugin for GIMP.
The latest version available is G’Mic 1.6.5.1 which has been recently released, coming with a few improvements and bug-fixes.
Improvements:
- [all] Doubled the size of the hashcodes for reference commands and variables. Make commands and variables lookup faster.
- [all] Added additional checking to avoid image conflicts when running multiple threads with command -parallel.
- [gimp] Language used for plug-in GUI is set to the one defined in GIMP preferences if any.
Bug fixes:
- [all] Fix command -med, used by many other command (like -std_noise)
