Gimp 2.10 plugins

Yeah; might try doing that. Also, while you are here, was wondering how to access n-point deformation in GIMP. It’s possible this was not including in your compile for a reason, but just wondering. Also, noticed that the gradient tool icon is missing (reconstructed it from the svg file; no biggy). :slight_smile:

Yes; pspi works in 32-bit version of 2.10x. I guess there’s no compatibility capability with 64-bit GIMP. Still, happy that pspi still works. Thanks for the idea, samj; your portable version(s) work great and very quick. I even toyed with the mypaint brushes, but, as you know, I’m a filter guy. lol

Hi Pat
I’m using Windows 7. That “heal selection” tool was quite fast and effective. I miss it though… but i REALLY love the new GIMP! It’s AWESOME! :smiley:

12

I’m not a coder and I can’t compile :(:cry:

14

Will there be a back door in order to run 32-bit plugins such as Mathmap within 64-bit GIMP 2.10 like there was for GIMP 2.8x? I hope so, but hope isn’t an answer. I suppose I can add it to the 32-bit portable build but do use Mathmap often enough to not wish having to do so like I now have to if I want to run PSPI inside GIMP. Here’s to hoping none the less. :slight_smile:

@lylejk,

I use :blush: ShellOut>paint.net (only windows, free, but not open source) for working with 8bf. Then you need the “PSFilterPdn” plugin made by “null54”. This 8bf-host is very good.

Then back to GIMP.

I don’t know if this is a workable recipe for GIMP 2.10?

Shellout still works fine with GIMP 2.10 Iarga. I actually use XnView as my PS plugin serrogate.

My main problem now is Mathmap;; never has been ported to 64-bit and I just tried to run it with 32-bit Portable but it won’t work. Glad I still have the option to run GIMP 2.8.22. :slight_smile:

Could someone please explain and expand upon this ?

Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.

Read through the thread below. :slight_smile:

Thanks !
So…, if I understand this correctly, XnView can utilize Photoshop Plug-ins that GIMP cannot; you are working on a picture in GIMP – you employ the trick/plug-in described in the link – it fies up XnView with your picture already loaded – you perform your PS task in XnView – close out of XnView – and your XnView work shows up on your picture in GIMP; is that about right ?

I can see where that would be handy.

That’s exactly what happens, BuckSkin. Just wish someone would make a better PS plugin executor for GIMP; PSPI works for some PS plugins (PSPI is a GIMP plugin that allows you to run PS plugins) but more than many won’t run in GIMP. For the plugins that do, it’s a blessing. Still, Shellout fills in that gap for those that don’t but not all PS plugins run in XNView, but that has to be a quest that you take up to find out for yourself. Shellout can run other programs besides XNView too I might add. I directly run NIK filters via Shellout for instance as well. Some programs don’t export friendly to GIMP either so I sometimes just save a file to my desktop and then quit the launched program and then import into GIMP for those programs; at least I was able to port the layer into the program via Shellout. Anyway, as you play with GIMP you find more ways to skin a rat if your will to get the job done. Wish you well on your own quest. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the good explanation; it saves me from asking one of my next questions = can PS plug-ins be used in GIMP – this answered that.
I have probably thirty photo editing programs and I am often jumping in and out of various programs when one does something better or has a feature I need.

You still need to download and install PSPI; it’s not part of GIMP itself. Tor originated it and still hosts it. :slight_smile:

Thanks; that is good to know.
I have had the NIK Collection since way back when it was free and use it almost daily; I had forgotten that it could run as stand-alone.
Thanks for the PSPI link as well.

24

I posted at the link below how to get the NIK collection to run via Shellout, BuckSkin. Some of the presets don’t transfer to GIMP though; you have to save result to a location and close (bummer) but still GIMP will at least pass the file to the NIK preset. :slight_smile:

I am running OS X. I’ve downloaded 2.10.8 and McGimp and have been throwing old 2.8 synthesize.py files into the new plugin directory. And all kinds of weird hail-mary’s

I started clean twice. I can’t get the Filter> Enhance>Heal working.
I set parameters click ok and get:

Calling Error for procedure ‘gimp-porocedural-db-proc-info’:
Procedure ‘plug-in-resynthesizer’ not found.

Can anyone suggest a download site and install instructions. So I can use this or shed some light on this.

Thanks.

The resynthesizer is actually a couple of Python plug-ins and a binary (called resynthesizer in its Linux form). So you need a binary that runs with Gimp 2.10 (so possibly recompiled for it) on your platform.

28

For your information, I am setting up a repository for pre-compiled GIMP plugins for MacOS. This is the link: gimp-plugins-collection/ at master ¡ aferrero2707/gimp-plugins-collection ¡ GitHub

I will try to add the resynthesizer soon after the Christmas break.

29

I have a skeleton Resynthetizer plug-in under development, but is it still not functional.
Once ready, the binary package for MacOS will be available here: Release Continuous build ¡ aferrero2707/gimp-plugins-collection ¡ GitHub
