PS NIK filters for Windows Gimp 2.8 - rich2005 - 01-23-2018 Another post asked about using the PhotoShop NIK collection of filters with Gimp and was a bit baffled about the necessary modifications to the shellout.py plugin. The easiest way by far is install the Gimp 2.9 development from http://www.partha.com It has pre-configured 'launchers' for each filter. Unfortunately these do not work with the regular Gimp 2.8.x so a quick modification to shellout.py attached. To avoid any confusion it is called NIKshell.py First though you need the monster 450 MB NIK collection installer. 1. Go to https://www.google.com/nikcollection/ and click on download. 2. You need to enter an email address, where they send a down load link. It can be a disposable email address, it is try-and-see what works. [attachment=1352] 3. With Nikcollection installer and NIKshell.py downloaded, Run the Nikcollection installer. Choose language. 4. Just continue [attachment=1353] 5. The usual license agreement that nobody ever reads 6. The important bit, accept the default Destination folder. The NIKshell.py script is setup for there. [attachment=1354] 7. Almost at the end, nothing to do here, Click on Install. [attachment=1355] The NIKshell.py plugin This is a regular Gimp plugin. Unzip it. Put it in your Gimp profile, usually: C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins Start Gimp, open an image, bottom of the Filters menu is NIKshell, which opens a dialogue. Choose a filter and ok Looks like this, these are monsters and might run a little slow. When complete a "Save" takes you back to Gimp.
