Hi, I have been using GIMP for about 5 years and love working with it. Thank you to all who have made this wonderful tool possible. I use the edge detection filter a lot on cloud formations. Sometimes I get results so fantastic, I wonder if there is any 'intelligence' coded into the filter to create meaningful forms out of random data, or , is it really finding something that we can't see. I enclose a couple of particularly apocalyptic results. I've tested many combinations , including applying equalization, levels, invert etc but the best results are a simple NEON edge filter with settings of 9/.3. I am attaching the original photos and their 'neoned' results (using the Spencer Kimball plugin - which gives simiar results to directly running the Neon Edge Filter in GIMP 2.8). I reduced the size to make the overall email smaller. (All photo's by the way are unretouched, including ...1846 which seems to show a few weird things in the original photo: person sitting on cloud reading a book at about 3 o'clock along with something billowing out clouds.) Is it just me that gets these apocalyptic images ? (not just from clouds too!) I would be interested in any comments you may have on this Is question. Thank you very much. *- david * *Regards,David Rosenthal* _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
