Even though I haven't used Windows for years I watched this because I was interested in the so-called 'crisis'. It looks like a user revolt over AI forcing users to subscribe to what AI wants.

| Best way to recolor this image |

I'll be using the attached image for the background of the cover for the next novel I'm indie publishing. I want to switch the colors so the white infill areas are a certain shade of red, the dark timbers are shades of pinkish white, and the windows are something in between--- not all the same color, but a range reflecting the highlights and shadows of the original picture.
I've learned that Colors ---> Maps ---> Color Exchange might work for me. I've figured out that I can't select the From Color until I've turned off the alpha channel on the image.
But when I select the From Color, choose the To Color, and click OK, nothing happens. The photo doesn't change, even though the Edit menu gives me the option to undo the Color Exchange.
I prefer to work on my older ThinkPad touchscreen laptop where I run GIMP 2.8 on Windows 7. I also have a Windows 10 PC with GIMP 3.04. As another test, I used it to try Color Exchange on this Fachwerk photo. But again, when I click OK, I see no change. And again, the Edit menu tells me the exchange was made.
It's the same with other images I've tried.
Given all this, I have two questions:
1. Is Color Exchange the best way to do what I want here?
2. If it is, what am I failing to do, that I can't see any change in 2.8 or in 3.04? Is there another step I need to take to complete the process?
Thanks in advance.

We want to install Gimp at our office.
But we are looking for a way to block the installation of plug-ins by our users.
The objective being that the IT Dept, will verify the plugins and the security risks of them before deploying to each user.
I haven't seen a way to block the installation of plugins by users. Espacially since they can always go and say it's in this or that folder (so finding one they have rights to).
Thanks,

Photobooth "look" - python script |

Hello
I asked Gemini GPT about how to replicate a colour chemical photobooth look in GIMP. Gemini explained the photobooth history, different lenses and chemical approaches and eventually wrote me a python script that creates the look.
Of course, the python script looks the part to an neophyte such as myself, but does not work either in python3 or Gimp python or as a filter. It does not show in GEGL either.
(I have yet to get a GPT sourced python script that works off the bat, so dev still have a career in front of them).
The funny thing is, the every time I ask the GPT to correct the script, it finds an "error" to correct, but none of these corrections ever make the code work.
The primary issue is that when I run the script in fu-script, I get loads of indentation error! Python indentation drives me crazy.
Therefore ... Does anyone know if there is a working "photobooth" GIMP script?
Can anyone help me debug this script for GIMP 3 linux please ?
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sys
import gi

try:
gi.require_version('Gimp', '3.0')
gi.require_version('Gegl', '0.4')
