Here is my work for Kubuntiac calls about the video recording. The picture depict a character inspired from the description of 'Boromir' , a fictive character created by Tolkien in the famous and classic book trilogy fantasy 'The Lord of the Ring' (Lotr ).

It's a personnal fan-art piece done to help the maintainer of the Lotr wikipedia team.

The recent cinema adaptation didn't give justice to this character , in my opinion ; the actor wasn't really 'like' the description of Tolkien. So, I tryed to make 'mine'.

Nice work.

I noticed that unsharp mask took three minutes on an i7. It takes just 25 seconds on my dual-core i5 here. Have you fftw3 installed?

Very cool Deevad, it has lot of personality. i like to see the high res. thanks for share.

Thanks Sven ! I installed the package 'cl-fftw3' on my packaging manager ( and the dependencies ) and now the unsharp mask is a rocket ! 2s max for a full HD pic. I have to poke Kubuntiac to add this library to the script.

@Ramon : Thanks !

Deevad - Thanks for doing this screen recording. It's fantastic. Secondly, is that the *exact* package name? I ask because I'm on Chakra at the moment and so I can't check myself. If it is, I'll add it immediately.

EDIT: I just noticed you confirmed this over on the compiling script thread. I've added it. Can I just ask to be clear though, on Kubuntu 11.10 is there an lcms2 package or does it have to be compiled? I thought there was a package, but your blog post seems to suggest otherwise...

I really like how to show the strokes. The effect is very nice and painterly.

Excellent video ! Thank you for sharing !
