The "GZ" or "BZ2" section refers to the fact the compression method is gzip or bzip2. TAR.GZ and TAR.BZ2 files are compressed archives originating from GNU/Linux. The 7-Zip program includes support for RAR 3.0, but the RAR component is proprietary. If RAR 3.0 is needed, taking a newer CVS snapshot may work, which has been done for the unrar-free Debian and Ubuntu packages. The free software (as in freedom) unrar can unpack RAR files that do not use RAR 3.0 or later. WinRAR is the original tool for RAR, available for many platforms, WinRAR has a trial period BUT the trial period never ends so you can have the software forever for free. RAR files are compressed using a proprietary format. Most (if not all) GNU/Linux distributions include Info-ZIP, which can be used to decompress ZIP files, along with a GUI frontend, such as File Roller for GNOME and Ark for KDE. ZIP files can be extracted easily in Windows and GNU/Linux with the utilities included with your OS. 2 Copying the plugin to the GIMP plugin directoryĮxtracting plugin packages Īlmost every plugin you download will come in a package.Note that this plugin only works on GIMP 2.8 and allows you to save images in Direct Draw Surface format. Here is how you can download and install the DDS plugin. GIMP is like a free version of Photoshop and it can’t make or access DDS files until you install the GIMP DDS plugin. Direct X is used for developing 3D applications, like video games. Microsoft created DDS file format to use it in a software development kit called Direct X SDK. A lot of these plugins are discontinued and receive no updates, even some popular plugins like the GIMP DDS Plugin. The place to find plugins is, you guessed it, the internet.
