Shadows and Highlights

This plugin does a pretty good job of eliminating shadows and highlights in photographs. It gives you two layers that basically act like adjustment layers, and changing the opacity will alter the effect.

Shadow and highlights Plug-in

I don't know anything about computers beyond using normal applications. How do I convert a Script-Fu to a plug-in ready to file in the Plug In folder, please? For instance Shadow and Highlight
Regards
Jens

In this case, you're dealing with a scheme file aka "Script" so this particular file would go in your GIMP's "scripts" folder.

I've created a post on my blog, specifically for beginners, that explains this process:

I guess I'm a real noob to this kind of thing

I love the plugins available for Gimp. But when I come across something like this, that isn't a file, it's a string of text, I don't have a clue what to do. How am I supposed to install something like this? There are so many useful plugins out there that I am missing out on, including this one, because of my lack of knowledge. Someone...Please Help!

How do I find it to use it once it is installed

Total GIMP noobie question: I am a long time Photoshop user who wants to switch to the GIMP. I love GIMP plugins. I can install the plugins. Some of them become new menus in the GIMP. However, some of them I cannot find. Shadows and highlights is one of those that I would really like to use. I copied it into my GIMP scripts directory, but I can't figure out how to access it to use it. Can you explain this basic step to me? Many thanks, Radzfoto

It's in Filters/Light and Shadow/Shadows & Highlights

But I agree, finding these is a pain. It would be nice to establish a convention that authors followed, or maybe for authors to tell us where they put the entry as part of their description. Failing that, you can always open the script with a text editor and look for the "script-fu-register" entry that tells GIMP what menu entry to use (it's usually at the end of the script).

if you use windows with

if you use windows with default settings you cannot notice if the script extension was modified in "scm.txt" as often happen To avoid that you should go to Start/Search/options and UNcheck "hide extension for most common file types" Utility of that option is a mystery to me, its disadvantage evident

Shadows&hilights

I use Gimp-2.6.8 and this sript doesn't show a preview.
What should be changed in the script?
