Hello everyone. We continue our journey of image manipulation.
Today, everything revolves around the free plugin G'mic.
I'll show you around the plugin and we'll try it out with a step-by-step demonstration. We will turn an ordinary photograph into an old-fashioned postcard.

You are going to be amazed by this little plugin. It is powerful and fun to use. If you really love using it and happen to have a few dollars, Euros, or pounds extra in your pocket, please consider helping these amazing people who created the plugin to support their efforts. They are doing such a great job of keeping it updated. I am not sponsored by Krita, nor by G'mic... as you already know. I just like to spread the good words and help them the best I can. So, thank you in advance for helping either of them (Krita and/or G'mic). They deserve all our love and respect.
