Because it contains some files that might conflict with existing plugins, the gmic_gimp plugin installer now creates a plug-ins sub-folder for all the files.

My advice. 
If you have a previous gmic_gimp using the provided installer, use the uninstaller via Windows. 
Typically look at Control Panel -> Programs -> Uninstall a Program

With the new installer, run it, stick to the defaults and a new folder is created under plug-ins in your Gimp profile.



At the moment, this is not automatically recognised by Gimp
Start Gimp, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Plug-ins and add that folder to the list.



Restart Gimp, open an image and check, bottom of the filters menu, there is a GMIC-QT entry. 
It does check for updated filters, so can take a little time to start. 
Be patient. If you are not connected to the internet, connect up and update the filters. This is a small download, nothing to worry about.

Hi rich2005,

I just installed GMIC as you demonstrate but, when I'm in GIMP, in Preferences to add the plug-in folder, the file gmic_gimp_qt.exe is display only and I'm not able to select it.

What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.
