Gimp on Linux with OpenCL

[alain.roger]

Hi,

I use GIMP 2.10.24 under Ubuntu 20.10 and I would like to improve the speed of my workflow, using my nVidia RTX2070 OpenCL features.

However I did not find any setting in Edit -> Preferences -> System Resources relative to OpenCL or nVidia (screenshot).

Any idea would be welcome.

Thx a lot.

It is moved to the "playground" section   Run Gimp with the --show-playground switch to show it in Edit -> Preferences and enable the option.

Code:

gimp --show-playground

   

Ubuntu 20.10 and Gimp 2.10.24 ? Is this a flatpak or a snap ? I have no idea how you might run Gimp with that switch, however a little dabbling and a search of my Gimp user profile finds the setting in the gimprc file. Easy enough to add it to the top.

Code:

# GIMP gimprc
# 
# This is your personal gimprc file.  Any variable defined in this file takes
# precedence over the value defined in the system-wide gimprc:
# /media/rich/Data/gimp-app-2-10-22/squashfs-root/usr/etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc
# Most values can be set within GIMP by changing some options in the
# Preferences dialog.
