Beautify Plug-ins for GIMP 3.0 RC2(include simple-border)

JamesH · **Posted:** Thu Jan 30, 2025 11:25 pm **(#1)**

Windows binary package, because the bug, so not include simple-border
And one more thing
old gimp_curves_spline and new gimp_drawable_curves_spline
same control points but not the same result
Beautify3.0.zip

gimp_drawable_curves_spline uses GMIC Curves instead, The result is similar to version 2.10

beautify_beautify(use GMIC Curves).zip

Source
beautify-master.zip

Looks good on Linux -- (k)Ubuntu Noble 24.04

GIMP 3.0.0-RC2 & dev packages installed from Mateusz Łukasik's mati75 gimp 3.0 PPA

Just had to modify the Makefile:

From:

Code: Select all

LIBS = $(GIMP_LIBS) -lm -mwindows
# LIBS = $(GIMP_LIBS) -lm

To:

Code: Select all

# LIBS = $(GIMP_LIBS) -lm -mwindows
LIBS = $(GIMP_LIBS) -lm

Build:

Code: Select all

$ make

Launch:

Code: Select all

$ gimp --verbose

I suppose this is the bug with simple-border that you were referring to. Hopefully it can be fixed.

Hi mojo_lo,
may I ask you to upload your linux compiled files here?
Would be really great.

Sure, the file's too large to upload directly to gimpchat and I can't post direct links as a new user, so just replace the two <dot>'s in the link below with .

1. Extract the contents of the .gz archive into your /home/<USER>/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/ folder (each binary should be in its own folder).

There are 5 binaries:

beautify_beautify
beautify_rip-border
beautify_simple-border
beautify_skin-whitening
beautify_texture-border

WARNING: the beautify_simple-border plug-in is just for reference. It doesn't work as discussed above.

DOWNLOAD LINK

Code: Select all

https://www<dot>dropbox<dot>com/scl/fi/pkaccca6twh1elu39xgyt/beautify-gimp300RC2-ubuntu_noble_24.04.tar.gz?rlkey=i1iri8gloz8sk8zta7t92w2w4&st=gl30xdfw&dl=0

2. Get the extra rip-border and texture-border textures from JamesH's beautify-master.zip above. They are in the beautify-master/textures/ folder.

Place them in your /home/<USER>/.config/GIMP/3.0/ folder

Your final directory structure should look like this:

Code: Select all

Seems to be working fine in Gimp-3.0-RC3 +GIT

It's still broken for me :-(

On a Windows system, where does Beautify3.0 go? I ask because when I look at where GIMP 3.0 is installed on my Windows 10 system, I do not see this: home/<USER>/.config/GIMP/3.0/ folder .

Thank you, JamesH. Is that folder also the same folder that there beautify_beautify folder goes?

I installed Beautify3.0 on GIMP 3.0, here: C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins

I open GIMP up and I do not see it under the filters tab. What am I doing wrong? Is there something that I am missing in order for Beautify 3.0 to appear in my Windows system when I load gimp 3.0? GIMP 3.0 also picked up and loaded G'MIC, and Resynthesizer just fine. I'd like some help with this please. Also when GIMP 3.0 loads it picks up a file known as Babl Fishes. Can someone explain that?

This is what the placement of Beautify3.0 looks like in my Windows 10 system:

This is what I see when GIMP 3.0 is up and running on my system:

Thanks,

Mackenzie

Sorry, My bad, I forgot there is other folders in zip file

That's okay. I finally figured it out. On the Windows 10/11 systems Beautify 3.0 goes here:C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0 folder/plug-ins

All of them go there including rip and texture borders.

Hi

I am having the same problem installing this plug-in on Windows 11 as Mackenzie was on Windows 10. After saving the folders and files downloaded at the location "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins\Beautify3.0" no Beatify plug-in appears as an available filter. The G'Mic filter does appear. The folders with binary files being saved in folders with the same name being:

beautify_beautify
beautify_rip-border
beautify_simple-border
beautify_skin-whitening
beautify_texture-border

Is anyone any to help.

Thanks

Hi,

Here's where they go: On the Windows 10/11 systems Beautify 3.0 goes here:C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0 folder/plug-ins

All of them go there including rip and texture borders.

It should work once you place the folders into the plug-ins folder and then start up gimp, or restart it. I hope this helps.
