If there is someone that can help me get this into my gimp...I will be more than happy to give you my phone number so you can call or I call you and walk me thur this.

I have windows xp and the newest version of gimp if that matters.

thanks
micki

Micki, here is a link that tells you how/where to install it.

http://gmic.sourceforge.net/gimp.shtml

Check out the different tabs in the website to get a little info about using it.

Thank you, I have tried every download available for newest version and it doesn't work..I'm wondering if I put a older version, if it will update to the new filters..all I want is the polka dot and snowflake.grrr I have never had problems downloading something.

Are you closing and re-opening gimp after you put the plug-in into the plug-ins folder?

What version of gimp are you using?

I'm using the newest version of gimp..I think I found a download the the gmic 1.4.0.0 downloaded it and it was there just grey...so I went to edit preference,folder,plugins, etc etc and now I have NO filters..grrrrrrrr

LOL

I don't understand what you did in the plugins folder in preferences. There should be two links in there. Did you delete them? Your filters are probably all still there but if the links are gone, gimp can't find them.

You must have an image open in gimp to be able to use gmic or it will be grayed out.

Ok I just did a search for gmic on my computer, every where that I download says to put in program files...and now that came up in search were there..they are all showing in doc and settings...????

M

Should be \Documents & Settings\<yourname>\.gimp-2.6\plug-ins

In gimp, please click Help > About and give me the version of gimp it says you are using.

on the download site it says, program files...thats why i'm confused..2 different places..lol

This from the link you put in this post.

On Windows, the plug-in directory is usually located at C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.x\lib\gimp\2.0\plugins\.
Required libraries files are provided in the archive for Windows.

GIMP 2.6.11

ok I have removed gmic, gimp, gimp themes...all gimp from puter..gonna restart puter and start over.

OK, I don't think it matters which plug-ins folder you use. Go ahead and put it into the plug-ins folder the plug-in website tells you to.

There are two plugins folders, yes. One is for everyone to use, the other one is for your personal use if you happen to have others using your computer with a different signon.

The Program Files path is fine for putting it in. Don't use both though.

You mean you uninstalled GIMP?

yeah now I'm going to redown load it

if i go into edit-preferences-folder at bottom-plugins...the screen on right will show up and it shows gmic in doc and settings and also program files and on a search on puter it shows on doc and settings...no program file

I don't know what you are doing.

Look in both plug-ins folders: Docs & Settings and Program Files ... make sure the gmic plug-in is only in one of those folders.

thats what i'm trying to say..i'm downloading to program file and its showing up also in doc settings and if I do a search on puter for gmic it only shows the doc settings file...nothing in the program file

I hope you are saying that you are looking in the plug-ins folder in both doc & setting and program files.

Can you make a screen shot of Edit > Preferences > Folders > Plugins and attach it in here? Save it to your hard drive. Below the text entry box in here, scroll down and click the Upload Attachment Browse button, find the screen shot and add the file. You will have to wait a little while for it to upload.

I can try hang on
