Script-Fu -> Palette Knife






This is a non-adjustable script which can render a palette knife texture to an image. It does, however, render onto a separate layer, so the results can be "toned-down" as needed. (See lower example)

Original Image
Detail from "the Lovers" by Pablo Picasso

Default Settings






layer dialog:

to adjust results of palette-knife script
Since palette-knife creates a new layer and leaves it -- you can adjst the layer opacity to tone the effect down as needed. You can choose from the image menu:
WINDOWS > DOCKABLE DIALOGS > LAYERS
(or Ctrl + L)
There you can set the layer opacity. In the example I drag the slider to 50% . . . the "palette Knife" layer was already selected.







result modified:

opacity set to 50%







You also need to copy the following file into presets:
ev_paletknife.txt
