Script: Wavelet decompose for skin retouching

[gbotes]

There is a wavelet decompose plugin for Gimp which I have used over the years for skin retouching. I haven't found anything similar for PSP, so I recorded this script in PSP X8. It operates in a similar fashion to the Gimp plugin, and gives me similar results.

First, thanks for the script. Lacking any prior knowledge of this stuff it would seem to me that it must have taken a lot of work to script this!

That said, I had to Google to find out what wavelet decompose actually meant and what you could do with it. Perhaps for more technical stuff like this it might help a bit if you posted a bit more info (or perhaps a link?) with a short explanation of what the purpose of the script is.

While I now have a rudimentary understanding it seems that it might take some more research and practice to make adequate use of this tool, but from what I've briefly read it does seem that it could be useful when trying to be somewhat more precise with skin retouching.

Thanks again for the hard work!

I thought about posting a link, JoeB, but then decided it would be better for those who are interested to Google it rather than being led or misled by me - it's more the misled I'd be worried about. I'm able to visualise what I want to do but not explain it very well, and frequency separation often still seems like a bit of mystery to me. The Gimp plugin is great, and works a bit better than my PSP script. But, my script does a fair job of approximating the Gimp tool's operation. I use the script to separate the texture of a face into layers and then I do skin smoothing, blemish removal, and so on, manually. Then I can back parts of the skin textures I separated to give me a more natural looking portrait.

I guess these links would be good places for those interested to start reading:

The biggest difficulty for me with PSP is that it doesn't have the same layers as Gimp, and there are several different ways one might attempt frequency separation and wavelet decompose. Hopefully, I'll refine my methods as I learn more about PSP and its scripting language.

Is this anything like this tutorial by Photodrawken?

http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php ... al#p259782

The tutorial is old and the images are no longer available.

[gbotes]

Yes, LeviFiction. Very similar but not exactly the same. If I understand Photodrawken's tutorial correctly, the image should be split into a texture and colour (blurred) layer. I'm used to working with a few more layers - my script is meant to produce 5 texture layers and a colour layer. I find it easier to work with that way.

[JoeB]

Thanks for adding those links. I'll spend some free time checking them out.
