Lomo Script with Old Style Colors

August 8, 2008 - 01:44 — elsamuko

This script simulates the Lomo effect.
Copy it into the scripts folder from GIMP, you will find it then under Filters -> Light and Shadow -> Lomo.
The original from Francois Le Lay can be downloaded here. The idea of C41 colors comes from here. I added sharpness, repaired the double vignetting problem and added some nice colors, especially the beautiful green sky effect from crossprocessed pictures. Examples can be found here.
Attention, results may make happy. :D

If you like it, hug someone.

Update: I refreshed the colors and added another vignette, but this is black and can be moved and resized. The result should be made grainy with my other script, then it looks more realistic.
Update2: The overlayed vignettes are moving now with the black vignette. That means all vignettes have the same center.
Update3: I added a slight lens distortion to simulate the wide angle lens of the Lomo LC-A. And if you own the grain script already, you can uncomment line 285 of this script to get a grainy black vignette automatically. Example here.
Update4: New color "Autumn" to simulate this. To include vignette graininess, uncomment line 314. Result here and very impressive here.
Update5: I mixed the angle distortion up, now it bends to the right direction. And the source code became prettier thanks to Dr. Scheme.
Update6: I added optional motion blur to simulate 'bad' lenses, see here.
Update7: Two new colors Movie and Vintage. Also more decent sharpness with layer mask. And I included the grain for the black vignette, so you don't have to do this. Examples here and here.
Update8: New color Xpro LAB from this book. Example here.
Update9: Possibility to inverse the A and B dimensions of the LAB color space. Example here.
Update10: Fixed the b/w problem. Added a new color option Light Blue from this role model. Example here.
I also attached the colors I use. Extract and put them into the curves folder of GIMP.
Update11: Lens distortion is adjustable now, the default is less extreme.
Update12: New color Redscale from here. Example here. The Light Blue color now has a less violet tinge.

curves folder

If you're using Mac or GNU/Linux, it'll be in the (hidden) directory ".gimp-2.6" and subdirectory "curves" in your home folder.

In Windows, you can type %appdata% in the address bar to find your application settings, within there you should find the gimp directory and curves subdirectory.

Exquisite.

I recently reformatted my PC, and when I went to find this script again I found that it has blossomed from a simple box to a masterpiece of a script!

Infinite thanks for the work you've put into this, it is very much appreciated.

If you're using Windows

Right click the "elsamuko-lomo.scm" link and select "Save Link As", the explorer prompt opens allowing you to "Browse" to the location where it needs to be saved. You should also see the filename listed as "elsamuko-lomo.scm". Follow the information provided by Photocomix regarding where the file is saved to.

Script does not work with B&W images?

Hi, I tried this script, and it's previous avatar on a b&W (originally a RGB) image, but kept getting the following error: Error while executing script-fu-lomo: Error: set!: unbound variable: endingx. Can it be fixed?

it's a script, not a plugin

hello, it's a script, not a plugin (check the system file that is a ".scm" - check you script folder: Edition -> preference -> folder - put the lomo script in the good folder - in gimp, go to filter, script-Fu, actualize - lomo is in Filter -> shadow & Light

Does this script work in Gimp 2.6.6 ?

I have put the script in the right folder, refreshed the script in Filters>Script Fu>refresh scripts, but cannot find it. This script obviously doesnt work with Gimp 2.6.6 ?

Filters -> Light and Shadow -> Lomo

I have GIMP 2.6.6 running on a Mac. No problems whatever in using the script. Thank you very much for making this! :)

nice job

Hi, Impressive job mate! Can someone check memory usage?. I'm working on 10 mega pixel image and 1,2 GB is eaten by the gimp while running the script. Regards, Tom
September 16, 2008 - 11:14 — elsamuko

Thx

GIMP uses a lot of memory because it keeps the image just as several Undos as a RAW image in its cache. When you execute some complex procedures, the RAM usage can be pretty extreme. Especially this script uses some RAM-eating functions like motion blur, lens distortion, sharpen and grain. As a workaround you can disable these and execute them individually after you have executed the script and have saved, closed and reopened (ctrl-1) the image. For more explanations see here: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-setup-tile-cache.html Greetings elsamuko

I'm having problems, too.

I've used this script a lot, and have never had a problem until recently. Now if I don't scale my images down, the program freezes.

I am wondering if some programs or plugins are conflicting with it. My husband also bought new memory recently. I dunno? Does anyone have any advice or a direction to point me to?

I LOVE this script! *hug*
