I have a question. Where's G'Mic in 2.9? I'm late to the game but I've new hack here and downloaded McGimp a few days ago. Can't find G'Mic..wanted to compare it with the tests I did a few months ago.

hi WW,

Long time!

Sorry WW. I didn't include it. I am hoping that McGimp 2.9 can be tested without additional plugins to be sure that it's stable. then we can add the plugins.

Thanks,
Partha

that explains that ok....

Ya...been awhile. I put together new computer and much faster than the last. I'm looking forward to work with this 2.9.

thanks...different place to 2.8 unless thats changed and I dont know it

ok partha, thanks I found what I was looking for....and WW asked my next question...I can manage without GMIC for now I think.

I was having some fun playing with 2.9 this evening and was happy with the rapid response I was getting. But when I was closing the program down, I found a bunch of little boxes behind GIMP which had been executing scripts which did work but the boxes didnt close...have to admit I have added a few things to it before I seen your message partha about testing it without too much added so tomorrow I shall go back and get rid of some of it....for now bed is the order of the day before pumpkin hour arrives!!

Whew, just downloaded mcgimp 2.9...and had quite a time finding and opening it. But it's done and I'm going to be trying it out soon.

*ok, played around a bit. The tools all seem to work fine, in fact, the cage tranform tool seemed easier to use than in my other mcgimps. In filters, there is no plain sharpen so I tried sharpen by Synthesis...bad mistake. It was ugly and it took a really long time. And there are 2 cartoon filters under artistic. I tried both, the first on has no preview, the second one does and therefore is much more useful. It also seemed to work a lot faster.
That is all i have had time to play with...no crashes, no problems as of yet.
