This has been tested to work on The GIMP 2.6.7, which is the latest release at the time of this post. I can’t comment or advise on any earlier version, but the good news is GIMP is freeeeeee, so upgrading won’t hurt your wallet. via How to: Photoshop Filters in The GIMP | Random Ramblings, Tip & Tricks. This is where I stopped for the night – after installing several new GIMP scripts, including one that was written…

    PERMS PERDITION, or the No Copy/No Mod Blues

The theme this time is “Romancing the STEAM IX” so many treasure hunters will be looking for a big heart-shaped emerald of some kind, but with a steampunk twist to the narrative. It seems like most would need…
