Hi,

Exposure plugin

GIMP 2.10 on Linux

I have the exposure plugin download
exposure-blend.scm

Please advise which folder is for this plugin
/home/username/.config/GIMP/2.10/filters/
or
/home/username/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/

Thanks

Regards

Neither. .scm files go into your scripts folder and I believe they have to be made executable.

Hi,

$ ls -al Downloads/exposure-blend.scm
-rw-rw-r-- 1 satimis satimis 22361 Oct 12 19:56 Downloads/exposure-blend.scm

Yes, you're right. I have to make it executable running;
$ chmod +x Downloads/exposure-blend.scm

I wonder which folder of GIMP I have to store it so that I can find it on running GIMP ?

Regards

It should be /home/username/.config/GIMP/2.10/scripts/

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

Performed following steps;

$ chmod +x Downloads/exposure-blend.scm
$ ls -al Downloads/exposure-blend.scm
-rwxrwxr-x 1 username username 22361 Oct 12 19:56 Downloads/exposure-blend.scm
$ cp Downloads/exposure-blend.scm /home/username/.config/GIMP/2.10/scripts/

Start GIMP with an image

Filter -> Exposure Blend
Align Exposures
Masks
Blend...
Reset Blend Details...

Which of them shall I use ?

Thanks

Regards

"chmod +x" is pointless, since it is a script (only useful for plug-ins)

Thanks

Plugins run as separate processes, though. Does GIMP’s Scheme interface know to explicitly run them via the Scheme interpreter, as opposed to launching them as executables?

AFAIK all scripts are run in a single script interpreter instance (a.k.a. "script server"). This may change in 3.0, because among other things the current method entails name collisions between functions declared by different SCM files).
