Hi contrast, I am a great fan of your gegl plugin, but there are bug in plugins in gimp 3. When i tried to overlay an image in gimp 3 with your gegl plugin, it crashed. But in gimp 2.10.38 it didn't. See this, Thanks.

I can confirm this does not happen. Image upload for me on Linux using the latest version of my plugins works fine, however it **does** crash on versions before November 2024.

Remove everything from "/gegl-0.4/plug-ins" and replace it with the latest version of my plugins, then for sure there will be no issue .

Hi contrast, I have updated the latest version all plugin. I am using windows 10, The plugin name is gegl effects,
It has many option like layer effects plugin. When i try to color fill it works well. But when i choose fill image and gradient and then choose an image file it crashed the whole gimp. This crash didn't happen in gimp 2.10.38. This crash happen in gimp 3.04.

Hi contrast, i have removed every gegl and download latest gegl from your post again. I can say this bug exist and gimp crashed again. I am using gimp 3.04 portable in windows 10. Thanks.

It only crashes for me if a jpg file is renamed as a png or a png is renamed as jpg (IE, incorrect file types)


Other then that it works fine. If you still have the crash try removing "loadport.dll/so" it will remove the ability to upload images but at least there won't be an accidental crash

loadport controls the image upload for ALL plugins, not just GEGL Effects.

See if other plugins with image uploads also crash with it.

port:load has not been updated since its inception in summer of 2024. its basically just calling gegl:load inside a container with the annoying text warning removed. This problem likely has something to do with the permissions Windows 10 or third party anti virus/malware software gives GIMP, GEGL is trying to access the file system (for pictures) and said program or Windows is preventing it.

Hi, Contrast, I think you may be correct. I have tested gegl plugin gimp 3 in different windows computer and there it didn't crash. I do not know whats actually causes gegl crash when doing image overlay in one windows but not another windows. But I thank you again for your great work. I am investigating the problem.

Last update from September 2-3 was here in which crash fixes for GIMP 3.14 were made. viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21452&start=40#p298436 So if you missed it you might want update today to prevent GIMP 3.14 from crashes. Obviously all the plugins from then are now here

What's new?

Not much, but GEGL Effects "Secondary outline" now goes further allowing new text styles like this



1. My personal version of GEGL Effects (lb:effects) now allows its "secondary outline" to make better dropshadows by its slider going to 40 instead of being locked at 10. Other then that no changes!


--Not a Depature message, but I am showing less interest--

Things are slowing down for me (My interest in GEGL and GIMP is fading into a new hobby of being a history geek)
still I love GEGL very much but I'm spending much less time with it, the main reason being is all my personal needs are meet.
There is no need for new plugins, my 1000s of hours studying GEGL paid off. So don't expect new plugins - only future
fixes, My intense interest in GIMP is like a thirst that was quenched. I strongly encourage people to study my code
to make their own GEGL plugins and learn as much as possible from me.

Source code of 130+ all natural made GEGL plugins for GIMP as of Oct 1st 2025

On their latest version. Works on both GIMP 2.10 and 3, Recommended on 3.0.4.

What's new?

Mostly changes to the main folder and scripts, something that hasn't happened since August 2024.

1. The compile scripts were updated to work on future GEGL 0.5 whenever it may release. Obviously it will still compile with current gegl 0.4 and GEGL 0.5 is not released yet, this is just future planning.

2. The main folders preview.png image was replaced with a new one (making it take less disk space)

3. The wrap_all_code.sh script now does more then just make a zip of all the source code files, it actually names them based on their folder name
in example glossy_balloon_source_code.zip

4. The old pdfs `directory_to_put_binaries.pdf` and `compile_plugins.pdf` into on how to setup my filters was replaced with `how_to_compile_and_where_to_put_binaries.md`

5. We have a new plugin named Retro Computed image that makes an image look like its on a computer from 1994. It also has a color overlay mode with two blend modes (LCH Color and HSV Hue) as you can see this plugin uses GIMP's dither filter but with special tweaks and additions.









Make sure to check out its many options, its filled with complexity. You can get a black and white effect with lch color on white.

contrast_ - just a head's up that previous versions of one your GEGL plugins, tsccake.co, crashes Flatpak GIMP 3.0.6 (on Linux). I submitted a crash report to GIMP and they figured out it was this plugin. I renamed it to tsccake.so.bad and GIMP started fine. The version in your post from 20251001 in this thread does not crash GIMP. Posting this so that other folks who may encounter the crash may see it and figure out they need to update your GEGL plugins.

One helpful thing you can do, if it's possible, is to add comments to your plugins with contact info (that can be seen, for example, by running the strings command on the plugin). Happily a search found this GimpChat thread but given how bad searching is getting, that may not always be the easiest way to "find" you to report issues if they arise.

@gstalnaker Thanks for that heads up - GIMP 3.0.6 crashed here too at start up - your hint helped me to point to the right direction to update the gegl plugins

I warned about this weeks ago.

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21890

All of Beaver's native GEGL plugins on their latest versions








Update includes the fix of the description %AMOS bug. Explained simply, GIMP plugins have descriptions for slider features that occurs with a mouse hovers over a slider, plugins previously compiled on GEGL 0.4.65 have a problem. The character ' is replaced with the text string %AMOS

In example, you may notice this problem

before update : Shadow%AMOSs Color
after update: Shadow's Color


also we have two new plugins, Twirl Blur and Holes in Image

Also, unrelated I have a surprise from a friend related to GMIC coming soon (but its not at all in this update)

I'd really like to try these plug-ins. I have them installed in ~/.local/share/gegl-0.4 but they don't appear in the menus. Is there any advice about how to install that I missed?

its gegl-0.4/plug-ins

the plug-ins folder, also if you use Flatpak it goes in

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

will these work with Gimp 3 and how to set them up?
I have Windows 11 and gimp3, I put them in gegl plugin folder (.dll) and gimp stop loading?

Never Mind, It took longer load the program. My bad

I think they fixed it. Does GIMP 3.0.6 really talk longer to launch with my plugins. My pal Flatscrew doesn't have that problem and he has 1000s of GMIC plugins and my plugins.

For me, Gimp 3.2 RC2 is definitely the fastest.

However, there's a problem:

Those 90 plugins compiled for RasterFlow work.
