Looking through the examples I noticed that B and G had a colour cast
similar to the colour produced by the filter on colour negatives. Some
months ago I spent some time turning colour negatives into a digital
form and then processing them in GIMP. Having got the original RAW

Hi all,
I am very excited to read about this plugin to restore old pictures. I have
installed it in GIMP 2.6.4 under Fedora 9; the 'Restore' button appears in the
main menu and the dialogue comes up. However when I click OK, I get an error

It would be useful if the slider range could be altered, especially to
be able to go below 0.7. I am not a programmer and, therefore, I do not
know if this is possible or how complicated it is but, if it can be
done, I would love to be able to try the effect.

Thanks, I will try my hand at changing the slider and see what happens.
The main reason I have in wanting to go lower than 0.7 is to see, if
possible, where the loss of detail starts to occur.
I changed the 0.7 setting to 0.2 and ran restore. Just had a quick look

Sorry you are having problems. It sounds to me that you are confusing the
batch_restore plug-in with the restore plug-in. The former is for doing a
whole set of photographs. The latter is for a single one. Load the image into
gimp and go to the restore menu at the top of the window.
