Beta 0.5.8 works fine in

Beta 0.5.8 works fine in Gentoo Linux.
Installation using make and make install was easy.
Thanks yam.
Gerard.

doesn't work in Linux, or at all, or really needs instructions

This either doesn't work in Linux, or doesn't work at all, or really needs instructions:

Using Gimp 2.6 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS & the matching Separate+ from the Ubuntu repos.

Adobe's ICC files are not recognized after installing to both the recommended locations (local & system).

Without installing the ICC files, the plugin goes through the motions & creates 4 layers CMY might be valid, but the black layer is nothing but a black square in the upper lefthand corner.

can't get to work

I haven't been able to get this to work, it just says the application failed to load on all three plugins. I am using the 64 bit unstable windows release, however every other plugin seems to work just fine, just not this one.

Win32 binaries of the GIMP

Win32 binaries of the GIMP plug-ins cannot work with the GIMP Win64 binary.
A lot of 3rd-party plug-ins are provided as Win32 binaries.

Link

I have tried to download the file from http://cue.yellowmagic.info/softwares/separate-plus/index.html but it doesn't work. Does anyone has another link perhaps to a ftp?

it works for me the download

it works for me
the download links are in the very bottom of the page

Question about instalation

Hi,
As the instruction says, I installed the .exe files in the plugin section, i also downloaded the Adobe´s ICC.
But nothing happend, i mean i could not separate RGB into CMYK.
For me its obvious that i dont know what to do with the rest of the files that are decompressed, like makefile, makefile.win32, iccbutton.c and others that are inside folders.
Any help? please

Re: Separate

If you're using Windows, all you need is the win32 binaries located in the Bin folder of the zip file. (They go in your .gimp-2.6/plug-ins folder.

If you're using Linux or Mac, you need to read the "readme.txt" file for further information. In fact, it has the Windows installation process listed there as well, but you said "nothing happened" so knowing what OS you are using could be critical in getting the right help.

Mac install

Just how does one go about installing this thing on a Mac? Help is greatly appreciated! :)

MAC installation

It seems there are problems with that plug-in on Mac.
I installed XCode Tools and successfully built e.g. little cms. But when trying to "make" separate+ I received a lot of errors.
Equal to that post:

maybe the tip in the last

maybe the tip in the LAST LINE may help

Installing separate+ on a mac

I've got this working under snow leopard. The steps I took were to install gimp2-devel with macports - though this in itself took a while: db46 kept giving a checksum error - but there is a patch for that on the macports site (essentially change the version number in the port file to 4) - and a couple of other dependencies failed, but installing those individually as they happened worked.

Once gimp2-devel is installed you are then in a position to compile the source code for separate+. I found that 0.5.7 still didn't work, but RC 0.5.8 does for me. Final step is to make sure the compiled plugins are in a directory your gimp looks to. And then, hopefully, it should work.

Opening PSD's that were saved as CMYK

As a professional graphic designer I am given PSD's from my clients. Some time these PSD's are saved as CMYK.

So, how to get around this error...

"Error loading PSD file: Unsupported color mode: CMYK"

I have successfully (or so I think) installed the plug-ins and icc profiles as instructed.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you you for your time.

Separate+ cannot open CMYK files

Hi,

Separate+ supports color separation, softproofing, and exporting CMYK files, and does not support reading of the CMYK files.

Of course the PSD file plug-in does not support  reading of the CMYK files, too.

Try to use ImageMagick's convert command for conversion from CMYK to RGB.

Note that separate_import plug-in enables importing the CMYK TIFF file as a pseudo-composite image. To convert the pseudo-composite to RGB image, use Proof function of the separate+ plug-in.

download

I am having trouble adding this wonderful plugin...please help! What is the procedure?

download

to built in linux is simple the forum of your distro may give more info for MAC and windows build is more hard maybe is better you wait for a compiled version

THX

I am totally a Mac user...THX..I need this plugin. THX

Seperate+ 0.5.1 Ubuntu Deb Package

For those using Ubuntu Linux, you can download a deb package of Seperate+ 0.5.1 here: http://my.opera.com/area42/blog/gimp

Ubuntu 8.10 Ibex

Those using Ubuntu 8.10+ can get Seperate+ by installing the package "gimp-plugin-registry" :)

Installed, but not working

I use ubuntu 10.10 and I have installed the package as said. However, whenever I try to separate the image the 'OK' button is grayed out, and I don't know why or what I'm missing here. Any help? Thanks

Doesn't sound like it would

Doesn't sound like it would be worth making this a GSoC project. In particular because that would mean that it would definitely not make it into GIMP 2.6. As far as I can see all that is needed for integration of the seperate+ plug-in is someone who volunteers to review the code and the user interface and to propose it for inclusion on this list. As we wanted to have this plug-in in 2.4 already, I wonder why this has still not happened yet.

errors on make

I had this problem as well. You'll need to install the dev version of libTIFF and libgimp2.0-dev.

I also have this problem.

I also have this problem. Does anyone have the solution ?

Suggestion

Is very good, but It would be interesting put a option "file->export as CMYK" in menu file. It must generate the TIFF file in one step.

quicksave.scm

Please try to use "quicksave.scm" script. You can find it in sample-script directory.

its work

Thank you. скачать DirectX 10
