Hi Helen - N.P. If you are on widnows, the first task is to get python scripting enabled. The easier way to do it is to downlaod the gimp + python + requisites bundle from http://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/Gimp-Python-support-easier-74889017 and following the install instructions. If you are in an operating system rather than windows, you shou8ld just check your tool for installing components and pick "gimp-python" . The requisite chain will be taken care of for you. (actually, I am not shure about how to proceed on Mac os X). After that, copy the .py file on a Gimp plug-ins folder - you can check the address for those in the preferences->folder section of GIMP. If you are not running windows, the .py file should explicitly be marked as an executable (right click with your file manager, then pick file properties) After that, this particular plug-in should show up in filters->artistic->photo mosaic js -><- > I do like your script! > > Helen > using Gimp 2.4.5 on Linux, SuSE 11 > _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
