I know this is probably a stupid question, but, can I use G'MIC on Windows 2000 ? and what is it for anyway, a plug-in thing ?

Thank you my gurus

Yeah it is a Plug-in thing... I honestly don't know how to describe it.

And why are you using Windows 2000? And I have no idea if it would work

Yes it will run on Windows 2000.
More Info - http://gmic.sourceforge.net/
Just download the executable and install into your user/gimp-2.6/plug-ins folder (G'MIC) will probably set that as default anyway.Restart Gimp.It will be found under Filters/G"MIC.
G'MIC stands for GREYC's Magic Image Converter and has currently 288 filters available within it.
It's a very nice addition to anyones Gimp install.

Welcome to Gimp Chat by the way Diane!

This has me wondering though, does she have enough RAM to help the plug-in function in the capacity she needs it to?

I'm a bit skeptical it will run as smoothly for her as it does with anyone else running dual cores with mega RAM.

Diane, if you get it installed and running, could you post back your experiences with running G'MIC?

I only have 512mb RAM with 1 core, so i think it will be okay for her.It runs great for me.

What OS are you using for that system, Rod?

Windows XP

I misspoke here, I am using windows xp (not windows 2000) and I have 2 GB RAM (and a dual core processor).....I was distracted when I wrote the initial computer info. lol......I will give it a try and see what happens....Still trying to learn this and sort things out. Thank you again my gurus.....I appreciate your time and assistance

Oh you shouldn't have any problems running G'MIC then.
Have fun with it.
