Outside of the few filters I've written myself, you will not find any Gimp G'MIC filter documentation here. It probably seems contrary of me then to tell you up front, here and now, that there is hardly any documentation here at all about the gmic-qt plug-in. That, of course, is the tip-of-the-iceberg of survey-respondents, resting on a much larger population of users beneath the surface, many of whom think that G'MIC is the plug-in and the plug-in is G'MIC. ![]() ![]() Some of the more popular ones are GIMPChat/G'MIC and .Īccording to a recent survey, more than 85% of the people who use G'MIC at all use the gmic-qt plug-in for Gimp, Krita, or applications supporting. By and large, the plug-in “just works” and has strong supporting communities. You're not ready to spend much time at this site yet. If you are absolutely new to G'MIC, I heartily recommend installing both Gimp and the Gimp G'MIC plug-in and putting in some time with those tools first. Gentoo is the Linux flavor to which I am partial, which renders source builds routine, but the gmic build environment is straightforward and builds take place on all manner of Linux, Mac, and Windows machines. You can get a tarball of the latest stable or development releases from the download page or fork from. Debris from one installation interfering with another is a common source of packaging misbehavior.įinally, you can just get the sources and build, my personal favorite approach. Just remember, if you experiment with a few packagers, to fully clean up one candidate installation before installing the next. Each packager brings a fine technical and aesthetic sense to his or her product and each product reflects that sensibility in its makeup. I can't/won't say who is best I don't think that is possible. ![]() Many names in this list link to distribution web pages where you can find further pointers and instructions. They strive for installations that “just work.” Go to the G'MIC home page, scroll down to "Teams" and, among the "Contributors" listing, look up those who have the ‘packaging’ specialty by their names. There is also a small but very fine community of packagers who take great pains to integrate Gimp with its large train of plug-ins and extras, including G'MIC. Use apt-get, emerge, yum or whatever else manages your distribution's repository. These have been tuned and integrated with the distribution and could be a better fit than the generic binaries at the download site. If you use a GNU/Linux distribution, the standalone G'MIC interpreter and gmic-qt plugin are very likely in your distributor's repositories.
