There is this link: http://objectmix.com/graphics/138489-can-anyone-help-me-find-charcoal-filter-gimp-2-2-a.html which suggests using ImageMagick. I tried it out, and I guess I would say it depends on what you want this to look like. It looks like charcoal, after a fashion, though it probably depends on the input image. Probably worth a try. If you've never used ImageMagick, the executable is 'display' as in 'display yourimage.png'. Then left-click the image, which brings up a menu. Choose F/X > Charcoal Draw... Greg
