Luminaciated Layer Effect
I was reading about what an inverted luminosity layer can do to brighten an image, then I read about how the word luminosity gets misused in the world of computer graphics. Then I decided to misuse and misinterpret some graphics fundamentals for GIMP and write about the brightening affect that these new fundamentals have on other layers.
Lumaverted Layer Effect
Here is a less inventive and faster method for brightening dark and contrasty images.

The JTLeveler Layer Effect
There were two things I didn't know about GIMP when I first followed this tutorial, which was written for another GIMP from another millenia even. One thing was that this tutorial could be scripted. The other thing was that it had been scripted already.
This layer effect script adjusts the levels to JTL's suggestion in the tutorial.

Exclusion Layer Effect on Grayscale Images
I was pointed at this list of instructions about how to make some exclusion layer that photoshop does with GIMP.
A few days later I trying to explain in real life how the message board exchange worked (with the author of the script mentioning that one button effects without some fine tuning per image was never going to be so good and tigerts talent.patch was mentioned again.
As I started to work with that effect, it occured to me that probably I am the one in need of the talent patch....
Exclusion Layer Effect on Color Images
a companion piece for Sphere Designer Tasks
The original plan had been to use exclusion layer images of both Einstein and of Elvis. Using the instructions from GIMPTalk for Layer Exclusion effects.
I ran into several problems getting the images I needed to write about chauvinists and things my mom said about old crones. This demonstration is not an exception to these problems either.
Let's let Elvis Costello demonstrate this effect.
