About G'MIC
G'MIC (GREYC's Magic for Image Computing) is a free, open-source image processing framework built to handle 1D, 2D, 3D, and 3D+t image datasets, including standard color photos, volumetric images, and multi-spectral image sequences. It is distributed under CeCILL free software licenses that are compatible with LGPL and GPL terms.
The framework offers multiple user interfaces to fit different workflows: a command-line tool for shell-based processing, plug-ins for popular image editing software including GIMP, Krita, Photoshop, and Affinity Photo, a web-based service for browser use, a portable C++ library for embedding features in third-party applications, and ZArt, a Qt-based tool for real-time webcam and video file processing. It includes more than 1000 pre-built processing algorithms sorted into categories such as Artistic, Colors, and Repair, and supports multi-threaded processing via OpenMP for faster computation on multi-core systems.
