While recently visiting Utah, I learned about the Jell-o Belt. This is a wonderful expansion of my knowledge base, indeed!

I can't say that I'm a big fan of Jell-o, but I have been to the Jell-o festival in LeRoy, NY (near Rochester), the birthplace of Jell-o, and enjoyed it immensely!

Hmmmm, the birthplaces of both Jell-o and Mormonism are near Rochester, NY. Coincidence? I think not.

Anonymous: Photo color boost using GIMP & LAB

I use GIMP 2.6.11 and here are the modified steps in BOLD Underline:
Note that the final step is COMPOSE and not REcompose.

1.Open Image
2.Go to Colors>Components*>Decompose
3.Check LAB, Check Decompose to Layers, hit OK
4.Open Layers dialog. Make only the B layer visible.
5.Duplicate B layer, set "B Copy" to overlay (Opacity is 100%).
6.Merge both B layers (Image>Merge Visible Layers/CTRL-M) Choose Expand as necessary (though other options don't make a difference in this case) Hit Ok.
7.Repeat steps #4 through #6 for the "A" layer.
8.Select "L" layer, apply a slight S curve, mostly adjusted towards the dark end of the curve. (GIMP's overlay is calculated a bit differently)
9.*Colors>Components>Compose and Make sure you select LAB with the correct layer order.

Can someone please help?
I am trying this method manually step by step, but when I "recompose" I repeatedly get an error message: "Specified layer x not found" where "x" changes between attempts - sometimes 16, sometimes 5, and sometimes others.
I am using GIMP 2.6.11 where the decompose/recompose is in the "Colors > Components" sub-menu.

It's my favorite one, also.

That is definitely some beautiful grapefruit.

Hi Jan and Skip.

I actually haven't run this script in a long time. I've started doing most of my color enhancements in the raw conversion process. But, I'll try to take a look at this this weekend and see if I can get it working. I'll let you know the results.

Setting the variables seems to be the problem and I am trying to figure how to do that now. I have never done this so any help would be great.

I am using Windows 7.

Hi Ben,

I downloaded batch-lab-colorboost.scm today and tried it with Gimp 2.6.7 on Ubuntu 9.10 Linux.

Problems:
Script file is named "batch-lab-colorboost.scm",
but example gives:
gimp -i -b '(batch-brp-process "*.ppm" 5.0 0.5 0 30)' '(gimp-quit 0)'
so I changed this to
gimp -i -b '(batch-lab-colorboost "*.JPG" 5.0 0.5 0 30)' '(gimp-quit 0)'

and run it:

me@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/me/Panorama/colorchange

me@ubuntu:~/Panorama/colorchange$ gimp -i -b '(batch-lab-colorboost "*.JPG" 5.0 0.5 0 30)' '(gimp-quit 0)'

but got this error:

/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpui.py:36: Warning: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
from _gimpui import

/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/layerfx.py:5304: Warning: g_set_prgname() called multiple times

(ufraw-gimp:11839): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times

And that's it. How to fix?

Thanks,
Jan

Hi Skip. I need to update this script for the newer versions of Gimp. I think that Gimp 2.4 & beyond require that all of the variables be declared as opposed to just set on the fly as I've done in this script. This is what is causing the unbound variable error. I'll try to do that and update this entry soon.

I'm not sure about why it won't let you put it in your scripts directory. What OS are you running? What specific directory are you trying to put it in?

I have tried to install this several times but keep getting the same error messages. First it doesn't let me install it directly saying I don't have permission to save it to the scripts file.

Second it gives me this error message when I try to run it on an image

LAB Colorboost Message

Error while executing script-fu-lab-colorboost:

Error: set!: unbound variable: labimage

Can you help me get this working?

Oooo! I love renovations! I mean...I've never renovated anything, so I don't have an opinion about ME doing renovations, but I LOVE seeing other people's renovations! I hope you keep us updated. Good luck and I hope it turns out just the way you want. P.S. I think your yard looks awesome.

Book, I look forward to your renovations post, too!

Be sure to keep us update on your project. Also, I'd like feed back on your upside down tomato. And is that a square foot garden next to the patio? We have used two over the years. This year we are adding 3 more that are larger than the other two.

Where did you go to get the computer to tell you what you should do? Looks like work, but I ithink it will pay off big dividends in terms of enjoying your yard. I'm thinking you may want to leave the big deck for outdoor barbeques. You might like it if you ever add a picnic table. It looks perfect without the rails.

We are doing some major projects, too. At least they feel major for this old couple. I've been taking pictures so I think I'll do a post. Thanks for the inspiration, Ben.

I hope you do make this a series. I kind of flickrd myself out at the beginning of the year with the ghost but I miss it. I need to start browsing it more often and upload more photos.
