A GIMP plugin that allows users to apply filters to photos

As a GIMP plugin for image processing it provides several different image filters to convert,
manipulate, filter, visualize images. It is a try to support similar to the Instagram effects for
GIMP, an open-source image processing program.

Hipstagram mainly provides an Instagram-alike tool for image processing along with flexibility
for GIMP users and desktop applications. It comes with a complete set of filter commands which
operate on images.

In order to install the plug-in of Hipstagram to GIMP, you will need prior to:

• Install GIMP
• Install Octave
• Install and load 'image' libraries for Octave
  

Then you are ready to install our app.
Every hipstagram filter comes with two code files, with .c file and .m file.
You install separately your chosen desired filters by following these steps:

• Move your desired filters ( .m files ) to the path: ~./gimp-octave
• Accordingly, your .c files can be on whatever path you like
• Go to the path you have the .c files and enter the command on the terminal:

$gimptool-2.0 --install <filtername>.c

• Open GIMP
• Check filters on the menu bar: 'Filters -> Ηipstagram -> <your_filter>'
• Open new image -> apply a Hipstagram filter
• Enjoy :)

• Download the Hipstagram code.
  (For each filter you want to use, you have to have both the files of C code and Octave code.)
• Install your desired filter (see later)
• Launch GIMP
• Click "Open New Image"
• Apply the filter by clicking: Menu bar->Filters->Hipstagram->name-of-your filter
• Click the filter
• A small pop-up window comes showing a preview of your image
• Your new image :)
