This is a post about the joys of my GEGL plugin "Threshold Alpha 2".
A GEGL plugin I made back in 2023 meant to be an improved version of
GIMP's threshold alpha that doesn't kill all transparency. Its like
Curves on Alpha but simpler and better. Threshold Alpha 2 ships with
many plugins of mine most noticeably Sharp Bevel and Glossy Balloon.
It removes puff and excesses around edges of alpha defined content.
In example a image of a transparent person has grey puff artifact
around it. Threshold Alpha 2 will remove it without killing all
transparency and simpler then curves on alpha. Also Curves on Alpha
cannot be called in GEGL Graph.
Threshold Alpha 2 is one of my most
used GEGL plugins that almost always follows REMBG usage on
transparent images. I hope others get the same joy out of it
that I do.
