NLFilter not found (greyed out) - Stephen Liu - 03-16-2019

Hi all,

From your earlier posts you are using Ubuntu 16.04 - Is that still correct?

The filter is there in my (k)ubuntu 16.04 Gimp 2.8.22.
It is a compiled plugin. Can you check in /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins that the file nl-filter is there and it is executable.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice

Filters -> Enhence -> NL Filter
It is there but grey-out, not working.

⟫ ls /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/ | grep nl

Code:

nl-filter

It is there.

⟫ ls -al /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/nl-filter

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23264 Jul  1  2016 /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/nl-filter

⟫ ls /usr/lib/gimp/

Code:

2.0

But I'm running GIMP 2.8.16

The filter works only on images without Alpha channel.
Just remove it and you weill see it active.

Performed following steps;

⟫ cd /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/
⟫ sudo mv nl-filter nl-filter.old
⟫ ls | grep nl_*

Code:

nl-filter.old

NL_Filter still grey-out even after rebooting PC

Read the previous post again.

It is the image alpha-channel that is the problem. Do not remove / disable the filter. Remove the image alpha channel Layer -> Transparency -> Remove Alpha Channel
