It is broken on your installation, nothing I can do about it.

Please refers to the screenshot attached here. 

You get a washed-out image and Auto Input levels does nothing ? Then it is the original negative  and you really need to post a representative image. Did not work last time, if they are large file size, more than 500 k then use a file sharing service.

From your other post, "Hundreds of negatives to process"  and Ubuntu 24.04 / Gimp 2.10.36
You probably do not have any python support  in that version. Do you have an up-to-date G'mic plugin installed ?

The attached script-fu neg-tweak.scm  (unzip - put in scripts folder)uses a couple of the gmic filters and might (or might-not) make a slight improvement.
It registers in Filters -> Custom Try it on a sample image and see if you get a result.
The problem is consistency, you can use BIMP with this but probably each image needs individual consideration.
Hi rich2005,

Thanks for your advice.

It is very strange to me here.  I have another SSD drive in this PC, running Ubuntu 22.04 desktop.  I tried its GIMP, which also came as default on installing Ubuntu 22.04 desktop.  The result was the same.  I can't perform the steps as advised by you.

Please advise how to update G'mic plugin?

Re your attached file neg-tweak.zip ?  Where is the scripts folder?

Thanks

Regards
