Quick Sketch
Quick Sketch turns a photo into an image that looks like a sketch.
Quick Sketch, it’s like a pencil draw at which you can convert your preferred image to a sketch artwork. Peoples like to use sketch pictures for profile portfolio or picture because it seems cool. This plugin is having another RDB version where you could make colorful sketches. If you’re working on any type of art work then this plugin can be helpful.
Refocus
Have you clicked on an amazing image, but it seems to be blurry? If yes, then Refocus can be a remedy for this problem. With the help of Refocus, you can fix all the errors and blurs which have occurred while taking a particular image. The best part is that it has a preview option which allows you to take a look at the images before actually saving the changes.
he settings are:
Degradation:
-Radius – This tells the plugin how many pixels to go out from each shifted pixel
-Gauss – This tells the plugin how much to blur the radius
-Motion size – This tells the plugin how man pixels the shift should be
-Motion angle/direction widget – This tells the plugin which direction to shift the pixels
-Noise – This tells the plugin how much noise to put into the displaced areas
-Iterations – This tells the plugin how many times to loop to shift the pixels
-Boundary – Mirror or Periodical – Not sure what this does, but I usually leave it on default “mirror”. Of course, nothing is stopping anyone from experimenting.
Area Smoothing:
-Smoothness – I suppose this is tied in with gaussian blurring
-Area size – Is this similar to gaussian radius?
-Adaptive smoothing on or off – Again, not sure what this does, but if you turn it off, it might do less crunching.
If you can’t afford the newest version of Adobe Photoshop CS, then you won’t have access to robust picture manipulating tools but with these all free GIMP plugins you can do the same job as you can do with power tool like Photoshop so you just need to power up your GIMP software and your job will be easy after that.
