Ask the person who created the image to send you the multi-layer .xcf file. If they still have that version available it will make it a lot easier to make the change you want to make. -- Cheers!

Yesterday I downloaded the Linux GIMP g'mic plugin from this page: https://gmic.eu/download.shtml and put it in my GIMP-2.10 config folder, in the plug-ins sub-folder, and it runs just fine, shows up in GIMP-2.10 under the Filters menu. I build GIMP in a prefix, and my config folder is also in the prefix. My apologies, I don't know where the config folder is located for installing GIMP directly from a repository. But once you've located the "plug-ins" folder, put the downloaded G'MIC-qt in that folder, and restart GIMP. I don't know about Lens Fun.

The default in >Ubuntu 19.04 is Gimp 2.10.8 I read somewhere that it was available, I went to the Ubuntu software center, and it was there. I uninstalled the version of GIMP I had installed, and installed the new version. I just checked the software center again and confirmed that the GIMP I have installed is version 10.10.10, stable, updated 4/24/19. >Better off with the PPA & failing that Gimp 2.10.8 from the main >ubuntu repo. Bottom line - give details and advice can follow. I installed from PPAs to follow 2.9 development versions before 2.10 was available. My version seems to be working fine, I just seek to try out some of the available plugins. What details do you need in order to point me to the items about which I inquire? If G’MIC and GimpLensFun are not showing in my GIMP, am I missing them (as in are they there, I am just not looking in the right location), or need I get/install them. That is my question. >Making plugins executable. The usual advice is chown in a terminal. >However, just use your file browser. Right click on the file. Choose >properties (1) Choose Permissions (2) Click on Execute toggle (3) As >screenshot. You don’t say, but, I am guessing that, since I have not created any scripts, and becaused Installed Gimp scripts and plugins are run via the Gimp menu structure **not** started on their own or from those terminals, then this business of setting scripts to execute does not apply to what I am trying to accomplish. Is that correct? I thank you for continuing to reply to this thread. Let me know what additional information I can offer so that you can point me in the right direction.
