Photoshop plugins for GIMP

November 11, 2009 - 10:15 — jr

Hi,

I'm new here, so let me apologise up front for posting what might turn out to be a question with an obvious answer, or a question to the wrong forum.

I'm a Windows Photoshop user who wants to switch to Gimp. I have Gimp 2.6.7 installed on Windows XP. I've read a lot about PSPI to allow Gimp to use Photoshop plugins, but I can't find PSPI.

Does PSPI exist, or is there some other method of using Windows Photoshop plugins on Gimp for Winsows?

Thanks!

It's hard to imagine that you read a lot about PSPI without finding the plug-in itself. Where and how did you search for it?

Well, Google is my friend, and that consistently gives me the URL

http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html

or some variation starting with

http://www.gimp.org/~tml

but I have no success navigating to that page...

Yes, that's one of the parts of www.gimp.org that is currently not available.

I've found pspi.zip here http://tml.pp.fi/gimp/pspi.html

* New permanent alternate site is http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/pspi.html *

It seems so unusual to see so many sub-domains of Gimp.org down at one time. Perhaps they (Tor Lillqvist or GIMP.org) should think of extending their downloads to a secondary website.

Everything that's on the FTP server is replicated to the mirrors: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/#mirrors

... including the MIRRORS file itself, so even if *.gimp.org is not available, then 'gimp ftp mirrors' returns valid results.

Thanks, Michael for bringing that up. Most of us wouldn't think about the ftp mirrors. I tried to find the PSPI.exe on the ftp and could not. I'll leave my link up at least until gimp.org is back up.

Thanks - appreciate it!

The op has a point.

This plugin is very hard to find at the moment. Has Tor pulled it out of circulation?

Searching this site has not yielded a working link.

The link given above for Tor's gimp.org pages results in a 404.
Looking on Tor's current pages on his own site, their is a section dedicated to his gimp contribution. pspi is not anywhere to be seen.

Can anyone provide a link to the current home of the pspi plugin? Failing that, can someone provide a link to an archive ?

If I can't find it, I'll email Tor and ask him if a version is still being provided.

I contacted Tor via email and he responded that he would get back with me in a few days with links to a new site for the PSPI plug-ins and gave me permission to host those files here on the registry.

When I hear back from him I will post those links and upload the plug-ins as they become available. Feel free to get the Win 32 bit version from my website (see comment below).

Tor just set up a permanent alternate site at:

http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/pspi.html

It should be indexed in the search engines in the next few days.
