Many thanks to David Tschumperlé for his masterpiece called G'MIC.
http://gmic.eu/
Look for the gmic packages!

We should not forget the Gimp crew!
http://www.gimp.org/

And many, many thanks to http://siduction.org. They helped me on my first steps making the Gimp packages.

I promise as long as I live this PPA will never die and the most recent packages will for ever be. ;-)
