Install Dbp Gimp Windows Installer

1. Gimp Windows Free Download

Recently, I had problems to install UFRaw plug-in for Gimp on both of my Windows 7, 8 and my Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion). Well, after googling few hours and I found out some tips and tricks on how to install UFRaw plug-in to Gimp.

For Mac: According to Gimp download page: the 2.8.2 version GIMP runs on OSX natively. No X11 environment is required. However, I found it relatively tricky. If you download the dmg file from (v2.8.2) which comes without any add-ons then you are in troubles.

Since it doesn't have any add-ons in the package, then you have to manually install them by yourself, in this case, UFRaw plug-in. On the other hand, if you are familiar with and you can just type the command in terminal ' sudo port install gimp' and MacPorts will install all related packages for you including UFRaw. Just so you know this version of Gimp must be run in X11.Well, I have tried to install Gimp via MacPorts but the UFRaw plug-in didn't work for me and to be honest I don't like the GUI with X11. So I would not recommend you to download and install both packages. However, if you download this package from which is built by, then your life will be much easier. It comes with many useful add-ons including UFRaw plug-in.

I found it was much easier for me to start with Gimp. For Windows: I have downloaded and installed Gimp from on my Windows 7 and 8 machines and unfortunately the installation package doesn't come with UFRaw. Therefore I needed to install the UFRaw manually. Well, after a few tries, I found out it is very tricky to make UFRaw work. First of all, you can download Gimp from and then download the installer from. Please note, before you install the UFRaw, you need to install Gimp (either x86 or x64 version) first. After the Gimp is installed, please refer to the following screen shots to install UFRaw and the plug-in for Gimp: 1.

Double click the installer and first installation screen should come up. The installation package will default the path to ' C: Program Files UFraw ' or ' C: Program Files (x86) UFraw ' if you are using 64 bit Windows, but we don't want this default path. You need to find out where the Gimp was installed and install UFRaw in Gimp's installation path. In my case, ' C: Program Files Gimp 2 '. Please note, if you use ' Browse' button to find Gimp's installation path, the UFRaw installation program will put 'UFRaw' at the end of the path ( C: Program Files Gimp 2 UFRaw ). Just remember to remove 'UFRaw' because we want to install UFRaw in ' C: Program Files Gimp 2 '.

Advertisement For my MakeUseOf articles I’m constantly resizing images so that they will fit into our page template. As a result, I go through a lot of repetitive actions with GIMP, the free image editing program. After a quick Google search, I found a powerful tool to help me save a ton of time by batch image resizing. GIMP doesn’t have a built-in batch editing feature because one of the ideas behind the software is that users will create their own scripts and add-ons to enhance it as they need it.

This can be a bit frustrating for newer users because they cannot readily code their own features and they must hunt down the things they need online. This add-on is definitely worth the inconvenience and you’ll probably use it for some time to come. First of all, batch images editing is the process of applying identical alterations to a large number of images.

In this example I will be talking about creating multiple sizes of multiple images and renaming them for categorization. There are many other things you can do with batch editing though. For instance you can:. Turn.

Rotate. Color. Crop. Sharpen. Rename. Resize The first step in any batch edit is downloading and installing the required add-on (if you’ve never done it before). Head on over to. If you are a Linux user, the instructions are listed fairly clearly on the “Where Do I Get It?” section of the page. If you’re a Windows user, download the zip archive in that same section and unzip them to somewhere easily accessible (the desktop is fine).

Unzip that file (simply called “dbp”) and place it in the folder at this location on your computer “C: Program Files GIMP-2.0 lib gimp 2.0 plug-ins.” This is the default location of course, you may have named the program folder something other than “GIMP-2.0” if you made modifications to the installer. Once you have the plug-in installed, you can open GIMP right up and start playing around with it. The menu is located conveniently in the Xtns part of the menu under “Batch process”. From there you will be brought up to a tabbed menu that shows you all of your options. The first of these options is the “Input” tab, which will allow you to add images to your batch. Be careful with this one, as the “add files” pop-up covers up the tabbed interface and does not actually indicate that it is adding the files when you select them. You’ll have to look at the input tab again to confirm that your files were added (just one of the eccentricities of homemade software). Next, you’ll want to indicate how you wish to resize the image. Click the “Resize” tab and select “Enable.” If you want to maintain the ratio of height to width, select “Relative” (the most common).

If you want to make exact changes to the height and width, which will distort pictures but may be good for editing objects that are of a uniform pattern, select “Absolute.”. I’m going to scale them using the Relative setting and bring them down by 65 percent. As you can see above, the scale starts out at 1.00 (representing 100 percent size) and moves up and down by decimal points. You could click “Start” now, but you want to do one more thing. Tab over to the “Rename” pane and look at your options.

First of all, you can choose where the files come from and where they end up. The default is “same as source. Personally, I like to add on a modifier to each file’s name so that I end up with the size clearly labeled on each version of an image. As you can see, I’ve put a postfix of “65” into the form so it will append that to the new filenames. It even provides a sample.

Now you can hit “Start” and generate all the files you’ve set up. I ran this for two different sizes and got three sizes in total for my trouble: Original, 75%, and 65% (see image at the top of the page). Now if I were to write an article I’d have different sized images for whatever my page layout required. It should be noted that if you want your final files to match the file type of your originals, you’ll need to use the “Output” tab to choose the file type.
