Hmm, checking in GIMP 2.9 on a high bit depth image, I think the 
algorithms really are a bit different.

Checking in GIMP 2.8 on an 8-bit image, DOG gives much more useable 
results than "duplicate, divide, blur". I should have checked 2.8 
results before mentioning "duplicate, divide, blur". It's a cool way to 
make a line drawing, but it doesn't seem to work very well at 8-bit 
precision.

For anyone using GIMP 2.9, the "duplicate, divide, blur" method gives 
more useable results if you first use the Levels lower left (output) 
Value slider to pull all the channel values well above (0,0,0). This is 
because the Divide blend mode gives odd results when zero is divided by 
zero, going to black instead of to white.

Best regards,
