Where is the plugin located in the menus?

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 14:08:21 +0000

Greetings everyone.

I installed the gimp-plugin-registry via apt-get. As this site says, the installation did indeed provide me with a plenty of plugins. But I cannot locate LqR among them. I checked the files, and it's there, but I don't know where it is located in the menus within GIMP itself.

If anyone would be able to help me it would be greatly appreciated!

LQR 0.7.2 on GIMP 2.10.6

Thu, 25 Oct 2018 14:38:23 +0000

After some failed attempts, I finally succeeded in installing lqr for GIMP 2.10.6 on Windows 10

uninstalled both
installed GIMP 2.10.6 in 32bit by /32 switch
installed lqr, therefore chose _C:/Program Files/GIMP 2_ as folder.

No more errors on GIMP startup, lqr is available in layers menu and working.

The code execution cannot proceed because intl.dll was not found.

Sat, 12 May 2018 03:21:55 +0000

After multiple reinstalls and using both versions available on this website it is still not working. I suspect it is because I a running Gimp 2.10 but I have not ruled out being stupid. Thanks for any help.

Not Enough Memory

Tue, 01 Aug 2017 17:38:12 +0000

While working with a rather large image, 7360x4912 138MB, the rescale fails with a "Not Enough Memory" Error. I noticed this error appears after the task manager indicates the "gimp-lqr-plugin.exe" process as using 1,400,000 K of memory while my total memory usage remains below 4 GB.

Liquid Rescale Ignoring Masks

Mon, 31 Jul 2017 20:28:29 +0000

While I was using the Liquid Rescale GIMP plugin I tried to remove an area of width from the image I but noticed nothing was removed from the area selected in the discard mask. I turned on the seam layer creation and confirmed that nothing was being taken out of the discard mask. Not only was nothing being removed from the discard mask, pieces of the preserve mask were removed Everything I was using can be found in a Google Drive folder that I can email you a link to as I am not allowed to post it here.

Install error

Sat, 26 Nov 2016 17:27:43 +0000

I just tried to install this on a Windows 10, 64 bit PC. The install finished, but when I
started Gimp I get the following error.

gimp-lqr-plugin.exe 0 entry point not found
the procedure entry point gimp_drawable_get_thumbnail could not be
located n the dynamic library c:\program files\gimp 2\gimp\2.0\plugins\gimp-lqr\plugin.exe

On my PC, Gimp was installed in
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2Which I think is not where you were expecting it to be. I do not recall changing the install
directory, but it is not the program files (x86) directory. I think this is caused because a
64 bit version of Gimp was installed.

The uninstall worked. Thanks for that.

Let me know if you have a version that installs. It seems to be a good tool.

Installing Liquid Rescale Plugin, version 0.7.1.

Fri, 18 Nov 2016 14:04:21 +0000

Hi,

Unfortunately I had to reinstall GIMP today and now I want the LQR plugin back but it doesn't work… When running the installation file I got this warning message:

GIMP installation was not found. You must install GIMP before running this installer. If you have GIMP installed, you may proceed, but you need to specify the GIMP installation folder manually.

I choose C:\Programs\GIMP 2\ (I couldn't choose subfolders anyway). When starting GIMP again it says the procedure entry "gimp_drawable_get_thumbnail“ wasn't found in DLL „libgimpui-2.0-0.dll“. GIMP starts (and works fine) but LQR doesn't show up in the layer menu.

Any ideas what went wrong? Thanks for your help! I'm using GIMP 2.8.18 and Win XP.

How up-to-date is the library with more recent research on seam carving algorithms?

Mon, 22 Sep 2014 15:31:15 +0000

In recent years there have been numerous attempts to improveme the original algorithm by replacing the energy function. An early example is the use of "forward energy" instead of "backward energy", while a more recent one uses "forward gradient difference maps." (I originally had links here, but I'm not allowed to post those due to spam restrictions, I suppose)

This naturally leads to the question: what is the energy function used by this library? I'm pretty sure Photoshop still uses the oldest algorithm (!) for its content aware scaling, so major props if you're ahead of Adobe ;)

Code hosting moved to GitHub

Tue, 01 Jul 2014 06:01:42 +0000

The main repository for the source code has been moved to GitHub: https://github.com/carlobaldassi/gimp-lqr-plugin
This will make it easier to issue pull requests.
I'm also considering closing the forum here and moving to GitHub issues.

please add metainfo for gimp-lqr plugin

Sun, 15 Jun 2014 14:54:02 +0000

Hi,

Recently Richard Hughes added the addon component type to AppStream[1]
which is an XML standard that is used by distributors such as Fedora,
Suse and soon to be Arch and Debian to create metadata for various
software center applications.

By creating a metainfo.xml for gimp-lqr plugin, it is then shown next to
the main "gimp" application and allow the user to easily install it.

Richard written a blog post[2] about what upstream software needs to do
to integrate with the KDE and GNOME software centers, and Richard really
appreciate any feedback and help at this stage. The way AppStream works
is that it has to be build upstream by the distro, so we'd need to have
the files either upstream (or downstream in the distro packages) by
GNOME 3.14 which is quite a few months away.

If you want to contact with Richard, either email or grab on IRC — He's
hughsie on freenode and gimpnet. I'm ignatenkobrain on freenode and gimpnet.
Or just ask here.

I already sent patch to gedit-plugins[3]. Take a look it.

New release 0.7.2 removes some annoying warnings

Mon, 05 Aug 2013 13:24:02 +0000

A new release of the plugin is available, downloadable as sources at the moment. It should remove some annoying warnings about using an old API which showed up on some configurations. However, this comes at a small cost: the plugin now requires GIMP 2.8 as the minimum version, meaning GIMP 2.6 is no longer supported.

Liquid Rescale - GIMP to Inkscape

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 03:34:33 +0000

I apologize if this seems like a bizarre question, as I am a total amateur. Basically, I used Liquid Rescale to resize an image to 8.5 x 11 inches (originally 7.1 x 9.7 inches roughly), and it looks great. I then exported the image as a PNG file (I tried it as a JPG too). I opened the PNG file in Inkscape and the image was no longer 8.5 x 11 inches; it shrunk in size to about 6.7 x 8.7 inches. Any idea why this happened, and how to prevent it from happening? When I use Inkscape to open the PNG file I exported from GIMP, I'd like it to be the 8.5 x 11 inches that I made it. Any tips? I must be missing something because, like I stated, I'm in no way a professional when it comes to this. Thank you so much for your help.

"Liquid rescale..." Greyed Out

Tue, 08 Jan 2013 01:20:20 +0000

I cannot click the option under the Layers menu in order to invoke the plugin. The image I'm working with is a single-layer pre-existing PNG. I've selected the only layer (Background) but the option is still greyed out. I've also tried creating a new layer and copying the contents of the background layer to it, but selecting that new layer still doesn't help.

I'm using GIMP verison 2.6.11 on Windows 7 64-bit (the program is 32-bit). Thank you for your help!

Hi!
i'm an italian girl.
First of all I installed GIMP for Windows (version 2.8.0)
Then I downloaded the. Exe file to install Liquid Rescale GIMP plugin on Windows XP service pack 3.
But when I launch the. Exe file to install the plugin displays a pop up that says "GIMP installation was not found. You must install GIMP before running this installer. If you have GIMP installed, you may proceed, but you need to specify the GIMP installation folder manually. "

Why did not recognize the version of GIMP that I have installed?
And if so to what exactly I need to specify the folder to install the plugin manually?
thanks for the help!

Liquid Rescale fails under Gimp 2.8 in Windows XP-SP3

Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:36:54 +0000

After installation, the following message appears on GIMP startup:
"The procedure entry point gimp_drawable_get_thumbnail could not be located in the dynamic link library libgimpui-2.0-0.dll."

I thought I read that this was fixed, so reloaded
gimp-lqr-plugin_0.7.1-liblqr_0.4.1_win32_setup-1.exe

but I still have this issue.

Thanks.

Installation problems with Gimp 2.8 under Windows 7

New Windows installer for GIMP 2.8RC1

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:41:26 +0000

A new plugin installer is available for those which are already using GIMP 2.8 under Windows, since the previous one was not working (only a 32bit version, as the previous one). It can be downloaded from here. You should probably uninstall the previous version from the control panel first.

(Note: this is not a new version of the plugin, non-Windows users can use the sources and recompile for the new GIMP 2.8, everything should work as ususal - at least it does for me…)

Not working with GIMP 2.7.5

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 05:57:34 +0000

I installed Gimp 2.7.5 from Gimp Win (sourceforge gimp-win project) onto Windows XP SP3.

I installed LQR 7 and had to browse to the install folder as the autodetect could not locate GIMP. Seemed to install OK and I can find the main file in "C:\Program Files\Gimp 2.7\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\gimp-lqr-plugin.exe" along with a number of the other LQR files.

However, when I start Gimp and it queries new plugins a pop-up warning titled "gimp-lrq-plugin.exe - Entry Point Not Found" states:
"The procedure entry point gimp_drawable_get_thumbnail could not be located in the dynamic link library libgimpui-2.0-0.dll"

Once started I cannot seem to find LQR anywhere in the menus.

Any guidance appreciated or I can answer any questions if you wish to trouble shoot.

Thanks,

gimp_image_add_layer deprecated in gimp 2.7/2.8

I've noticed that gimp 2.7 throws an ugly error-dialog stating that gimp-image-add-layer

Palette switching back to black when creating a preservation layer

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 08:50:08 +0000

Running lqr 0.7.1 on GIMP 2.6.8 on windows XP.
When I create a new preservation layer, the palette goes green then switches back to black. Unaware users may then paint the layer black instead of green.

New release 0.7.1 fixes a bug under Windows

Sun, 06 Jun 2010 00:37:23 +0000

A new release of the plugin is available. It fixes a bug which caused a crash at GIMP startup on Windows. The new Windows installers are also available, here.

There's no reason to update for non-Windows users at this time.

"gimp-lqr-plugin.exe has encountered a problem....." [FIXED]

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 07:46:20 +0000

I'm moving this report here:

Hello Carlos, I downloaded and installed your latest Windows release of this amazing plugin. I have GIMP 2.6.8 on Windows XP. The installation went well and gimp-lqr-plugin.exe is in the proper place in the plugins folder. But when I start GIMP, and it's "querying new plugins", a Microsoft Error Reporting dialogue pops up saying that "gimp-lqr-plugin.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." I never send the error report because the computer I use is not connected to the internet, so after clicking "Don't Send", the dialoque closes and GIMP resumes a normal startup, but without Liquid Rescale showing in the Layers Menu. Do you have any ideas what could be causing this error condition? Thanks for your help and ideas!

LqR 0.7 won't install on XP with GIMP 2.6 [solved]

Wed, 26 May 2010 08:37:08 +0000

It seems the installer can't find the GIMP directory. I get this error when launching it :
"GIMP installation was not found. Please install GIMP before running this installer".

GIMP 2.6 directory is C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0

New video tutorials

Tue, 25 May 2010 01:32:40 +0000

The tutorial section was updated with some videos recored using the latest version of the plugin.

Windows version for release 0.7.0 available

Mon, 24 May 2010 13:11:57 +0000

The latest version of the plugin is now available for Windows.

As previously announced, this time the translations and the help files should be working correctly (so you have no more excuses for not helping with the translations!)

Furthermore, the files you download are now true Windows installers, which makes installation (and uninstallation) safer and easier.

As always, there are versions for both standard GIMP and for GIMPPortable.

You'll find it in the Windows download page (Italian version here).

Version 0.7.0 released

Mon, 24 May 2010 03:47:00 +0000

After a long time, a new version of the plugin is finally out.
Mainly, it has improvements in the user interface which help the workflow, plus a couple of additional features and some (minor) bugfixes.
Furthermore, the long-standing issue of the localization under Windows should now be finally solved (and a Windows installer will be available very soon).

By the way, many translations are now very outdated and need to be updated! Please, consider helping with this if you can, thanks.

Here is the full list of new features:

Added new option: output on new image
Added new energy functions based on luma instead of brightness
New edit masks mode:
- Added edit buttons for aux layers
- Switch to smaller, always-on-top interface while creating/editing aux layers
Added info icons for aux layers
Added text to some buttons
No longer use extra layers to create the image thumbnail (this means no more "flashing" in the layers toolbox when staring the plugin or creating a new aux layer)
Modified behaviour to make it more consistent:
- After creating/editing aux layers the focus goes back to the layer which is to be rescaled
- If an aux layer is deleted during or between sessions, it is not substitued by another one, and the corresponding setting is made inactive
- Pressing "Back" in the interactive dialog saves the plugin values for later recalls
Bugfix: finally fixed Windows localization
Bugfix: fixed some minor issues arising when working on a new layer and going back and forth through interactive/non-interactive modes

It now requires GIMP 2.6 and the latest version (0.4.1) of the liblqr library, which you can find here.

Go get it from the Download page!

Content aware fill

Tue, 20 Apr 2010 19:35:32 +0000

This script should do the following things
1. Find areas. This is my big problem. I want to find different areas based on there uhm whatever. For example a beach picture. After this first part the sky, the sand and the sea should be 3 different areas, but maybe also more sub divided(dark sand, light sand, deep sea you got it)
2. Find Area edges (which will be easy then)
3. Analyse edges where they touch the selected area(in which angle they touch them and which edges belong together)
4. create new areas(Based on the angle of the edges bezier curve shall be inserted. Which will create the new areas. This will be very complicated for mountains and so on)
5. look for similar areas and use them as patches for the first time resynthesize which will be done for every new area seperatly
6. Show the user the bezier curves and the areas from where the textures are taken. They should have the possibility to edit them
7. Resyntesize again and jump back to 6.

Standard photo print size support

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:29:23 +0000

GIMP crop does not support simple selection of standard print sizes, this liquid rescale tool could do the same by liquid expand or shrink to the correct sizes selectable from radio buttons (e.g. 6x4, 7x5, 10x8 etc.) These would need to be in the select new width and height area of plugin dialog - in reality it is controlling the aspect ratio but users can understand the output sizes easier. "Expand to" and "Shrink to" would have to be an option to and possibly the dpi?

Incorrect path for locale data on non-Unix systems

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 11:57:36 +0000

The plug-in uses hardcoded values for locating the locale data on the installation system, which only works properly on Unix'ish systems.
When run in a Windows environment, there is a big chance of the hardcoded value pointing to the wrong or even a missing directory.
To fix this, any hardcoded path should be replaced with a call to of one of the gimpenv functions.

In case of the LOCALEDIR, instead calling "gimp_locale_directory ()" is sufficient.

If other data directories are also used by the plug-in (e.g. for registering the help file), these may need to be constructed, e.g. through:
gchar *path, *uri;
path = g_build_filename (gimp_data_directory (), "help", PLUGIN_NAME, NULL);
uri = g_filename_to_uri (path, NULL, NULL);
g_free (path);
gimp_plugin_help_register (plugin_name, uri);
g_free (uri);

Windows Installer should allow directory choice

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:36:43 +0000

I was playing with GIMP 2.7 so have GIMP installed in several different, non-default, directories. The installer doesn't allow choice of where to install to so after install, I had to copy files from the GIMP-2.0 default directory to where the current version of GIMP was installed.

Minor problem but should be simple to fix..

creating liquid distortions

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:40:44 +0000

I wish I knew how I did this?
A newbie, I was experimenting with Liquid Rescale, trying to create a wallet-size.
Somehow, in my klutz-ing around, I managed to create this liquid rescale from this original.
At least I had the presence of mind to save the image. But, Jimminy Cricket, I sure wish I could recreate what I did, so that I could do it again. But, after hours of punching around, I have yet to come close. I have been unable to recreate anything minimally elastic.
I thought I'd ask if any of you experts have an idea how to recreate effects like this?

strange script-fu behaviour and rescaling huge images and some script-fu weirdness

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:46:34 +0000

first - thanks for this great plugin! it's very usefull and great.

correct me if I am wrong, since I have ubuntu 8.10 and I currently try to compile the newer version.
First thing I am not able to add correct layer as 'discard features', I am trying to add the layer with (gimp-image-add-layer theImage theWLayer 0) where I put 0 also to the appropriate prop of the script-fu function, but even with setting the value to 4000 it doesn't work at all. I am running this from the commandline without interface.

I would also love to know if it is possible to extend the algorithm to rescale really big images, in doing rescaling per tile or hierarchically. since I end up with my 2gb ram on about 6000x6000(original size being scaled down) images. This is nice but for my current project I would love to do even much bigger images…

PortableGimp: and again no entry under "Layer" [solved]

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 07:00:16 +0000

Hi over there,
I tried to install your portable Version of the plugin the easy way. My computer is a Samsung Netbook with Windows XP home SP 3 and Gimp is the Portable Version 2.6.7 Rev 3 from PortableApps copied in a special path on my data-partition (D:\Weichware-Portabel\MyApps\Bilder\GIMPPortable\) and german localisation.
After the installation I cant find the new menu-entry under "Layer" … in german this must be "Ebene".
Then I searched in your "Get help" and tried to move the files within the pathes as described in the diffrent threads but there is no visible effect.
Can somebody help me to start from scratch?
Thanks

No "Mode" box [solved]

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 19:23:11 +0000

Hello! I have Win XP, Gimp 2.6.6 (reloaded today), Liquid Rescale downloaded from here (also today) and I don't have "Mode" box at all ?! Why? I need it especially for Quick element removal and so far I can't do it. Thanks in advance, Magdalena

Grayed out

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:37:47 +0000

Hi,

I just installed Liquid Rescale on latest version of Gimp on a computer running Windows XP Pro (x64 edition). When I tried to rescale an image, all the items on the Feature masks tab were grayed out. What causes this behavior?

Thanks.

Next version, questions, requests

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 05:06:36 +0000

Hello,

I would like to ask if, and suggest that, the next version of Liquid Rescale will have interactive rescaling? I've seen others writing that Liquid Rescale will have an interactive rescale option — I know it already has somewhat interactivity in 0.6.1 — but, I would like something more like the interactivity in Photoshop.

I know this is a hard task, I just want to know whether the next coming version (0.6.2?) is the version that you might implement truly interactive rescaling.

On that note: When is the next version coming out? Or how close is it to being released?

Also, I would like to know if there is anyway I can "beta test" each version before they are released? All I would need is source code that can be compiled :)

Thank you.

Error Downloading Rescale Plugin [solved]

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:11:26 +0000

In my attempt to download the rescale for windows, I received the message "Could not extract, access denied." It gives me this message after I click the "extract" button. I checked the location of GIMP and it is stored in the program files. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Resize to original size in real-time scaling

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 02:22:45 +0000

I would like to be able to resize an image back to its original image size, like you can when you rescale manually, in real-time scaling mode. Currently I rescale in real-time, stop, and rescale again back to the original size manually.

Can it be done? Without being confusing.
