Instagram Effects

[fmw42]

see https://github.com/paulasmuth/hipster_filters

Note, without knowing what was done to create them, it is hard to recreated them exactly. Best advice is search Google for Photoshop Instagram scripts. Then open the scripts in PS and see what was done. The try to recreate them in IM with equivalent or near equivalent commands. Furthermore, many IM commands will not use or have the same arguments or values as in PS, so some trial and error is needed.

If you are on Linux, Mac or Windows with cygwin, you can generate somewhat similar results to some instagrams using my toycamera script below. But you still have to decide what arguments to provide. I know of no other repository of IM instagram-like effects, than the one above.

Perhaps someone else on the forum can identify further resources.

I ran into those scripts on GitHub earlier, but they didn't translate to the filters.

Click on the xxx.rb files to see the code.

Will that translate directly to IM?

No but you can see the options/method used for the effect which will give you a starting point.

I would guess if you want the effects with IM you are going to have to learn how to use it or pay somebody to do it.

It might work with the .rb files, if you install RMagick (Ruby). See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php

Personaly I would use php and exec() as it is one less thing to learn - the rmagick or Imagick class/convention.

[fmw42]

Agreed, but then one has to convert the RMagick calls to the IM command line equivalents. That is not hard if you understand the IM command line.
