  GIMP 3.2.x not recognizing rawtherapee plugin
Posted by: cjsmall - 54 minutes ago - Forum: General questions - No Replies

I've used Gimp 2.10 and 3.0.8 and both have recognized the rawtherapee plug-in.  However, neither version 3.2.0 or 3.2.2 recognize it, although the proper files seem to be there.

I installed the extracted AppImage for all 3.x versions.  Here is a find search in 3.0.8 and 3.2.2 directories:

3.0.8:
49-> ffind file-rawtherapee
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/file-rawtherapee
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/file-rawtherapee/file-rawtherapee

3.2.2:
75-> ffind file-rawtherapee
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/file-rawtherapee
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gimp/3.0/plug-ins/file-rawtherapee/file-rawtherapee

So the plugin is there.  From withing the respective programs I open:

Preferences -> Image Import & Export: Plug-In

3.0.8:
${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins/file-darktable/file-darktaple
${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins/file-raw-placeholderr/file-raw-placeholder
${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins/file-raw-rawtherapee/file-rawtherapee

3.2.2:
${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins/file-darktable/file-darktaple
${gimp_plug_in_dir}/plug-ins/file-raw-placeholderr/file-raw-placeholder

So the plug-in isn't listed.  However, I see no way to manually add a new plug-in to the list.  I never manually added it to other versions of GIMP, it just worked.

Any suggestions as to how I get this listed, and why the 3.2 series isn't loading this or picking it up from the previous 3.0.8 configuration?

Thanks.

  achieving a overdriven almost blown out view turn into a bright yellow-white glow,
Posted by: saint_m - 03-26-2026, 05:29 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

good day dear friends good day dear gimply ppl. 

[first of all - i ve posted this three days ago here - and was happy to receive some nices & kind and very supportive answers - but in the mean time a serious db-crash knocked out the whole page - and  guess that 90 % of the postings of the past seven days vanished - into the dark] 

well i am currently workin on a graphic image - and i would love to get your creative suggestions! ?

after lurking here some hours - i t hought that the best would be to step up the plate and just ask: while lurking i have seen lots of great approaches to do much in GIMP: I really appreciate all the awesome threads  that i ve seen here: i think that i have to work with some kind of a layer-based approach 

see my starting point: 

I’ve experimented allready with that, and it already helped me get closer to the look I’m aiming for.

To give you a bit more context: I’m trying to reate a certain abstract network visualization style –: What I especially love is to get some behavior - at the right side  that gets some feels of - lets say “overdriven” – almost blown out into a bright yellow-white glow,   while the lines still keep a warm reddish tone. The colors are intense, but the structure stays readable.
So my question to the community: What would be your approach to achieve a kind of “overexposed” yellow-to-white transition on the right side, while keeping the lines slightly red and the overall network structure intact?


I’m open to non-destructive workflows, layer blending tricks, or even selective color grading.

love to hear from you
 
see the starting point.

  Parametric Mask plug-in for GIMP 3 - a different approach
Posted by: chuckhenrich - 03-19-2026, 04:04 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (1)

Hi all,

I've just released a parametric masking plug-in for GIMP 3 and wanted to share it here.

The plug-in creates a layer mask from one of four source channels: Red, Green, Blue, or Luminance. You shape the mask using a tone curve with a live histogram. Drag points up to include tones, drag them down to exclude them. The canvas updates live as you work.

The curve approach gives you precise, automatically feathered control over the mask. Target midtones, create double peaks, or invert regions entirely. Since photographers already think in curves, there's no new mental model to learn.

The idea was inspired by Yasuo Ohnishi's parametric masking work for GIMP 3. My plug-in takes a different direction, using a curve editor instead of sliders.

A few highlights:

- Red, Green, Blue, and Luminance channel support
- Live preview on the canvas
- Whole-image mode and single-layer mode
- Non-destructive: works on a new layer, never touches the original
- Available in 14 languages
- Runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS

Full write-up with a short demo video: https://www.chuckhenrich.com/parametric-...mp-plugin/

Direct download: https://chuckhenrich.com/downloads/param...ask-v3.zip

Happy to answer questions. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

  Severe Security Flaws in Gimp > 3.2 - how to fix for Mint 22.2?
Posted by: congress_sandbar - 03-19-2026, 02:35 PM - Forum: Linux and other Unixen - Replies (6)

According to this article, there are severe security flaws in Gimp > 3.2
https://www.heise.de/news/Gimp-Update-sc...14979.html

We installed Gimp with the systempackage that come along with Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2

As this is a severe security flaw, do you think that the maintenance team of Linux Mint will update the systempackages to the patched version or would we have to upgrade to a higher Mint version in order to achieve this?

  Directory & file structure screwed
Posted by: NoraHague - 03-18-2026, 12:31 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

I have been using GIMP for several years, using Win10. Recently I was forced to upgrade to Win11 on a new computer, and so far it's OK, & I'm getting used to its intrusive nature.

One of the first programs installed was GIMP, the previous version to the current new 3.2.0, and it was working normally. Today I have a time-urgent project to finish so I started up GIMP, and was greeted with the Update screen, Update to Ver 3.2.0. 

This has happened frequently, and there had previously been no problem, so I had no hesitation in upgrading, installed, rebooted, and restarted, hoping to get to work.

Usually GIMP reflects the Windows file structure, directories, sub-directories and file names, each in alphabetical order respectively. This time, it was screwed! All the folders and file names were in alphabetical order but all mixed together [see screen shot.] It was impossible to work with, so I closed everything, rebooted, hoping for a rearrangement. Nada. Nope. Still screwed.

I uninstalled GIMP, re-downloaded the setup file, reinstalled, rebooted, and opened GIMP - nope, still screwed.

I'm not a programming person, I can't delve into the code and fix anything, I'm just a lowly appreciative artistic user of GIMP.

What's wrong here? Is it the new version? Or Win11? Or me?? See screen shot.

Photo How do I color Bevel Text?
Posted by: Black Ball - 03-17-2026, 08:34 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (8)

Can someone tell me how to color bevel text? Everytime I use bevel in filter and then curves, it’s a lot more harder to get something satisfactory than using Chrome. Below are two links to
Pinterest for what im trying to to create.

  I need it to be opaque
Posted by: anemul - 03-15-2026, 05:41 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Hello all. I enjoy RC racing. I need to make some number decals. When I make them in GIMP 3.08 revision 2 and print the images onto transparent decals, the graphics are way too transparent. I'm not sure what information you need, so here is the basic:
Windows 11
GIMP 3.08 revision 2
I have an older Epson 837
At this point I have spent more on decal paper than I would have if I had had someone make them for me. That's limited, though. Any ideas?

  Plug-in not showing up
Posted by: jack63ss - 03-12-2026, 02:42 PM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (4)

UPDATE: So I have GIMP 3.0.0 and 2.10.38 installed on my system. After having the below issue with 3.0 I tried 2.1 and it worked fine. So this seems to be a 3.0 issue.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I installed gimp3_upscale but when I restarted Gimp the plug-in did not show where the Git instructions said it should. My preferences show C:\Users\jack6\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins AND C:\Users\jack6\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins as plug-in directories. (Why 2 locations I am not sure, so I put the script directory in both.)  See screenshot.
 
It is supposed to show up under Filters>Enhance but it does not. This is the first plug-in I have loaded manually, so am I missing something ? 

GIT instructions simply say:
[*]1 Download the latest release:gimp3_upscale.zip

[*]for GIMP 3.0
2 Extract the plug-in folder into your GIMP plug-ins directory.
[*]3 Restart GIMP.

To use it 
[*]1 Open an image in GIMP.
[*]2 Go to Filters > Enhance > AI Upscale..

but that entry is not there.
Suggestions ?

NOTE: I just tried to use the Help > Plugin Browser and it does not find anything. Not sure if that helps. 
Thanks
