Free GIMP Luminosity Mask plugin


Luminosity mask is sweet method for tuning images and more information below the hood can be found for example here and with Google.

Workflow requires quite many mouse clicks and after few images I decided to write Python script for it as a hobby. Tested on Win10_64bit and with Gimp 2.8 & 2.10. However, no guarantees are given anyway and use it with your own risk.

Installation instructions
  1. Download plugin file from here
  2. Close GIMP 
  3. Move downloaded create_luminosity_masks.py file into path C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins 
  4. Done 
Usage
  1. Start GIMP
  2. Open desired image
  3. Select (or make active) the image from layers-brushes window 
  4. Browse into Colors>Auto>Luminosity masks... 
  5. Briefly one should find created masks in layers-brushes window 
  6. Enjoy
