Installation instructions

 Hi folks, 

since I got several questions about installing LabCurves, here are some tips that might help you.

  • Make sure Gimp can use Python. You can test this with python scripts from the gimp plugin registry (files ending with "py"). Python on windows.
  • "7z" archives can be extracted with 7-zip.
  • On linux: You need the regular lcms, graphicsmagick and libqt4 packages, the dev packages are only needed if you want to recompile the program.
  • On linux: Copy the script and the folder containing the program to your gimp plugins (not scripts) directory.
  • On linux: Set the script and the program executable.
  • On windows: copy the script to your gimp plugins directory and the folder containing the program to "C:\Tools\". If you choose a different folder alter the script accordingly. Don't choose a subfolder of your gimp directories.
  • The filter is located in "Filters - MM Filters".

I hope this clarifies most of the questions.

Fedora 12 instructions

Great work! Many thanks for this plug-in.

Justo to help others, this is what I did to install it on my Fedora 12 box:

* First, download and install lcms2 (configure && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig); it goes into /usr/local, so it will not conflict with lcms.
* Install all the pre-requisites, from Fedora's repositories.
* Download and uncompress this plug-in; then compile it with "qmake-qt4 && make".
* Copy both "mm extern LabCurves.py" and the full LabCurves directory to ~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Working on win 7 64

First of all thank you for the plugin, is really a nice new feature in the gimp. Big smile

I install the plugin in my win 7 64 bits machine following the instructions provided in the package. The first time it ask for this file "liblcms-1.dll". A simple google search and then copying the .dll to the "C:\\Tools\LabCurves" directory solve that problem, it works really well here.

Grate job!!!!

Python str list int error

Hi Mike, I installed Labcurves and EAW Tool but I get the following error for both:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 692, in response
dialog.res = run_script(params)
File "/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 353, in run_script
return apply(function, params)
File "/home/bmeagle/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/mm extern LabCurves.py", line 66, in plugin_main
path = sys.path["~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins"]
TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str

Is my path name on line 66 wrong?

path = sys.path["~/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins"]

Keep up the good work!

Hi Dewald, the sys.path was

Hi Dewald,

the sys.path was used to get the working directory for the script, when using LabCurves/EAWTool from the same folder; use the call with sys.path[0] (like it is originally given.)

If you want to give an absolute directory you should use: path = "whatever" without the sys.path call.
