Iwarp tool - woking with preview window - pergamin - 12-19-2020
Hi All
I wish to give smile to myself in a picture (the pic. extension is now xcf). I thought to work with Iwarp tool to get this. But the picture is small in preview window. I searched the Internet to find solution. The solution I found was to: first use select tool and then the selected area will fill the preview window's space. - That is not true. The pic. in preview window is as small as in original picture (please see the picture below to see what I get). What can I do to enlarge picture in that preview window?

The preview window is a fixed size embedded in the plugin code. You can not make it larger unless you recompile the code.
Using a selection fills that small window, makes it easier to use. It is a bit picky about the selection - just experiment.
example: linux / Gimp 2.8 https://i.imgur.com/CMyAfCF.mp4
edit:
Alternative using gimp_gmic_qt plugin https://i.imgur.com/v0yMuhX.mp4

Thanks rich2005, but how to install that plugin? I tried "apt search ^gimp" and I was only able to find "gimp-gmic" - I installed that and in filter menu I only have "G'MIC" - I can open it but then I do not have "Warp" under "deformation".

apt search ^gimp returns:
gimp-gap/bionic 2.6.0+dfsg-5ubuntu1 amd64
animation package for the GIMP
gimp-gluas/bionic 0.1.20-1.1build1 amd64
Lua environment plug-in for GIMP
gimp-gmic/bionic,now 1.7.9+zart-4build3 amd64 [installed]
GREYC's Magic for Image Computing - GIMP Plugin
gimp-gutenprint/bionic 5.2.13-2 amd64

gimp-help-ca/bionic,bionic 2.8.2-0.1 all
Documentation for the GIMP (Catalan)
What is the name of that plugin to install? Looks like it is not gimp-gmic

Using 'buntu 18.04 (bionic) gmic site: http://www.gmic.eu
For Gimp 2.8 this one should work
edit: a quick check and the one I am using is this: https://gmic.eu/files/linux/gmic_2.8.4_gimp2.8_linux64.zip (vague memories of the 'buntu one not working)
Unzip, put gmic_gimp_qt in ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins Comes from this page https://gmic.eu/files/linux/
the plugin has qt5 as a dependency If qt5 not already installed You also need:
Code:
sudo apt install libqt5core* libqt5widgets5*Once working, there is a refresh icon that updates the filters.

Thanks for your help, but It only caused G'MIC... grayed out after these steps. Anyhow I found out how to enlarge mouth you want to work on. - Just enlarge your picture like from 500 to 1500 px and save it. And then select desired object (nose, mouth) and go to Iwarp tool.
RE: Iwarp tool - woking with preview window - rich2005 - 12-20-2020
Gimp gmic entry, bottom of the Filters menu ? grayed out ? The usual cause for that is 1) no image open 2) the image is indexed colour mode.
