Installing LayerFX for GiMP 3.2

[davidsk]

I am new to using plugins and have read about LayerFX, but cannot find where to download for GIMP 3.2. I am using Windows 11. I did locate it as part of PGEI but, as I have no idea what PGEI is, I avoided it. Web searches have only shown me older versions. Thanks for any tips on this.

There is no Gimp 3 version of the LayerFX plugin.  Only exists for Gimp 2.8 / 2.10  In Gimp 2.10 it looks like this.

   

...most of those filters you can get with Gimp 3 other ways.  Look in Tools -> GEGL Operation There is a drop down list of various filters. The advantage is the effect is displayed on the canvas.

   

If you want to install a third-party plugin get the gmic_gimp_qt plugin from http://www.gmic.eu There is a download there for Windows and Gimp 3.  600+ filters of all sorts, something for everyone.
