Hi,
I've not been able to make work a plug-in that converts Gimp RGB into CYMK. I downloaded the plug in (in several forms), but can't seem to install it. Also, it looks like I have paths for Gimp 2.0 and Gimp 2.8 on my computer. Gimp 2.8 opens.
Steps Taken
1) the zip files I downloaded from the internet:
separate+-0.5.8
separate+-0.5.9-alpha2
separate+-0.5.9-alpha3
(I downloaded all three because I kept trying one after the other, and none seemed to be installed or working.)
2) When nothing happened, I unzipped them. By itself, of course, that still didn't give Gimp the desired capability.
3) So I tried putting the resulting unzipped folders directly in both of these two folders:
This PC > OS(C: )> Users > Ed > .gimp-2.8 > plug-ins >
and
This PC > OS (C: ) > Program Files > GIMP 2 > lib > gimp > 2.0 > plug-ins
4) I also went into Gimp and once there I went to
Edit > Preferences > Folders > Plug-ins
There, under "Plug-in Folders" I saw:
C:\Users\Ed\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins
and
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins
5) To those two lines, I added two further lines under "Plug-in Folders":
C:\Users\Ed\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\separate+-0.5.9-alpha2
C:\Users\Ed\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\separate+-0.5.9-alpha3
6) To check if that would do it, I closed Gimp and reopened it, then opened an image, then right-clicked, and on the right click menu I clicked on "Image" -- but the list of options still did not include "separate" ("separate" is apparently the option that lets you convert RGB to CMYK)
7) Next I tried opening the following folder (the folder unzipped from one of the zip files) and copying all the files in it:
C:\Users\Ed\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\separate+-0.5.9-alpha3
Having copied all those files, I pasted them into these two folders:
C:\Users\Ed\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins
Still did not find any option to convert RGB to CMYK on Gimp.
If the above looks chaotic, I was trying internet directions one after the other, each time seeing if the direction would work. But all the directions seem to be abbreviated on the assumption that everyone knows what is left out.
Anyway, thank you very much for any assistance.
