That's it, enjoy the new photographic tools. But, if you don't care about high pixel depth just use png instead of tif: it is pretty faster. To mitigate the later problem, you can dock an error console, so the messages won't be impacting. There are 2 caveats: it is a bit slower and you get some annoying error messages about some TIFF flags not being supported. I use tif because, in the newest, right now still experimental, GIMP 2.9.2 it supports floating point pixel depth (for this version of GIMP the plug-in directory moved to ~/.config/GIMP/2.9/plug-ins). The already mentioned top-level WINE directory that might be different than win32.You should consider 2 customizations to ShellOut.py: When you activate it you should be given the choice of running any of the available plug-ins on the current layer or a copy of it. Grab the modified version of ShellOut.py and put it into ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins.

On a just partially related note: I'm not sure NEF Nikon RAW files can be opened directly (I tried to install the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack in WINE but no luck) but you can always create a linear 16bpp TIFF from the RAW file using dcraw.ДЄnyway it is much simple to just use the filters as plugin for GIMP, so I customized the ShellOut GIMP plugin.

In this case just run: wine '$HOME/win32/drive_c/Program Files/Google/Nik Collection/HDR Efex Pro 2/HDR Efex Pro 2.exe'. This makes a lot of sense, for example, for the HDR one: you should feed it the RAW pictures with adequately different exposure times.

You should be able to to use the plug-ins standalone.

wine which I find a bit confusing being normally hidden). Or replace win32 with your wine directory (the default is. Mkdir -p '$HOME/win32/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Google/Viveza 2/resource' Mkdir -p '$HOME/win32/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Google/Silver Efex Pro 2/resource' Mkdir -p '$HOME/win32/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Google/Sharpener Pro 3/resource' Mkdir -p '$HOME/win32/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Google/HDR Efex Pro 2/resource' Mkdir -p '$HOME/win32/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Google/Dfine 2/resource' Mkdir -p '$HOME/win32/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Google/Color Efex Pro 4/resource' Mkdir -p '$HOME/win32/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Google/Analog Efex Pro 2/resource' If you followed my convention about directories, the following commands will do the trick: The fix is easy, just create that directory and press the retry button. Be aware that there's a bug (some API not entirely implemented or being confused by the spaces in filenames maybe) that will pop-up a window about the impossibility of writing a file (in the resource directory for each filter).

exe installer and run it under wine, with the current version: wineВ nikcollection-full-1.2.11.exe. Also note at least WINE 1.8 is needed, 1.6 won't work (thanks to Victor Lavaud who reported this and my wrong usage of auto-quotes). The link above goes into the details, basically you have set-up some environment variables before starting the Windows executable (I keep the Windows file system in a directory win32 under my home one):ДЄlso I use winecfg to select a Windows 7 personality. An important trick is using Win32 mode which usually works better (I'm running other software, like AutoStakkert, Registax, WinJUPOS and Deep Sky Stacker without troubles in WINE with Win32). It really just boils down to pacman -S wine after you have enabled Multilib.

I use Arch Linux, which comes with extensive instructions.

It is not difficult to make it work as a GIMP plugin on Linux, even if it is for Windows, thanks to WINE.

Google Nik Collection is now free as in free beer, some of its filters are just amazing and it is pretty straightforward to use.

Ideally we should have Free Software that serves our needs, but sometimes we must settle for a temporary solution.
