Yes, the program don't use the classic autotools. But it is planed.
So I did a make and this appeared to work so I did a
make install which also appeared to work. But when I try to use the
plugin in GIMP 2.2.3 it is grayed out.
Sorry, I forgot to say that GREYCstoration only work on picture in RGB
mode (convert your picture in menu Image Mode RGB). It also support
RGBA (with alpha channel), but the channel isn't modified.
OK this helps. I was trying to use it on a gray scale image.
I am running Gentoo Linux 2004.3 on an amd64 machine configured as a
x86_64 machine (IE. 64 bit code). Not sure if that matters so I thought
I should give you this info in case it does.
I don't know. You will tell me ;-)
It appears to not work. I got the following error message about 2/3 of the
way through the process:
GIMP Message
Plug-in greycstoration
(/home/heng/.gimp-2.2/plug-ins/greycstoration)
requested invalid drawable (killing)
The image was not a small one (2650x2309) and this message was after about 6
minutes of processing. I used the default settings that the tool opens up
with. So I am not sure if this is a general bug or an amd64 specific
problem. Also I don't think the preview was working as I could not see any
difference no matter how I set the controls.
Most of the images I would use something like on are older photos that I have
scanned from large format negatives as gray scale images. These tend to be
large images (15 to 20 megapixel). I have been using Neat Image on Windows
for this and it can take 10 to 15 minutes to process a single image. So I
don't mind this taking a while to process the image if it finishes and does a
good job.
You might want to have a look at Neat Image to get some ideas about how to
implement your user interface. They have a somewhat cripple demo version
that you can download for free. It has a step that, with the help of the
user, analyzes the image and gives a starting point for fine adjustments. It
is by far the most powerful tool I have used for this to date. If you can
come close to this level of power with a GIMP plug-in that would be one less
thing I need Windows for and I would be one step closer to not needing
Windows at all.

list ?
Since I was asking for advice that might have been specific to my situation I
contacted you off list. But perhaps I should have stayed on list.
Bye, Haypo
