Regardless of OS, it is always worth keeping a back-up of your Gimp profile, that is where all your settings and resources reside.
Quote:.. I don't know how useful GMIC will be. I see a lot of filters but most of them don't seem to be for image improvements.
In a way, I agree. Something for everyone but too many for me. However good fun seeing what some of the filters do.
Quote:I am mostly interested in color and sharpness adjustments, curves, saturation, levels, shadows and highlights.
Plenty in gmic for you. In the Colors section the curves filter. As well as regular RGB there are other color spaces, CMYK - HSV - Lab
Quote:I did have to reinstall Liquid Rescale. A plug-in I have yet to find a use for, again it may take some time.
Very true of many plugins
but when you need it, you need it. As a note, also as a gmic filter, although I still find the liquid-rescale plugin a little more flexible.
