Hello i am very interested in this tool i love editing my photographs but i want to make sure i install this add-on proper i DL'ed the zip file after opening it they are APPS so do i install them like i would any program or do i simply drag + drop them directly into my gimp plug-in folder?

Yes drag them directly to your plug-ins folder.

Thanks Rod, I don't know how but maybe one of the Linux guys will help.

Got it downloaded
Hello molly.
Compiling GIMP Beautify Plug-in on GNU/Linux:
Make sure you have at least 2 GB of free space on /home.
Install "git" in your distribution. Also install the development libraries for the GIMP (libgimp2.0-dev on Ubuntu).
Open the terminal and download the sources from GitHub:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/hejiann/beautify
When the download is complete enter to the directory:
Code:
cd beautify
Run make:
Code:
make
On my computer (and Kubuntu 64bits) this has overloaded my CPU and that it took a while.
Install on your /home/USER/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/:
Code:
make userinstall
You must have these binary files in your /home/USER/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/:
beautify
skin-whitening
rip-border
texture-border
and verify that each one is executable.
You can find the plugin in "Tools" > "Beautify".
Thanks Rod for notice about this plug-in

Your welcome YAFU! Thanks for helping Molly and other Linux Fedora users.
