Gmic-gimp plugin: unable to use the film emulation.

Software G'MIC
1

Hello,

I am on Debian Jessie.

I installed gmic for gimp (version 1.6.0.1), in order to use the film emulation filters that come with. So I tried to test one of these filters, but I was unable to do so because the links to the .cimgz files still points toward the old sourceforge direction. Then I downloaded all presets in order to use gmic-gimp offline. So I managed to download the zip file and decompress at $HOME/.gmic_film_presets as indicated.

But then If I try to use any of the filters, it still tries to download the .cimgz files from the broken link and refuses to acknowledge the existence of the files in $HOME/.gmic_film_presets. I then tried to fix the link in the configuration files but I coudn’t find any gmic-gimp configuration file. I don’t know what to do.

If the film emulation filter is what you are looking for, I would suggest you use photoflow instead. Photoflow has the exact film emulation filter sets as GMIC, but can process the emulation much much faster than GMIC.

You should update your G’MIC to latest version 2.1.1.
Version 1.6.0.1 is really old and you’ll hardly get support for this one.
