This required both my plugins, AI plugin and manual selection

It was difficult

Why do not upload your AI plugin and how to manual select them to cut out all characters in red color?

It doesn't work on appimage GIMP

Only GIMP 3 native and GIMP 3 Flatpak. Flatpak GIMP goes in

~/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins

Quick answer, probably not but a few might.

For AI Plugins that don't involve nodes but only math the chance is much higher

For my plugins, Only the most super simple ones without node connect have a chance of working in other words over 95% of my plugins will not work because they use node_connect instead of old GEGL's 2.8's node_connect from. Try to see if this plugin works on GIMP 2.8, it is one of the super simple ones with no composer connections

That is the wrong plugin, I will upload the one you need.

Color Removal, the AI plugin from a few months ago to assist with this workflow

---

btw unrelated, based on the screenshot you sent me I can likely guess you are using Debian or Ubuntu 22.04 as the vast majority of my plugins are missing because you are using an old version of GIMP 2.10 before GEGL 0.4.46, To use my plugins correctly either update to GIMP 2.10.36+ or use this branch of plugins

Old branch of GEGL plugins for GIMP 2.10.34 and below
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/LinuxBea ... naries.zip

Do not mix these with modern plugins or things will break. That means you need to remove everything but color removal from gegl-04/plug-ins and replace it with these
