This is more of a note to myself, but if others benefit all the better…
We use Gimp for staff members who need to create CMYK images, but don’t necessarily need full blown Photoshop. There is a nifty little plug-in called Separate+ which allows you to accomplish this feat. When porting over from Gimp 2.6 to 2.8 I got an error after adding the Separate+ files to the plug-ins folder. Basically the error was complaining about libtiff3.dll missing. On another computer using Gimp 2.6 I was able to grab libtiff3.dll and copy it to the GIMP 2\bin folder on the version 2.8 installation to fix the issue. When it was all done I had the following in the plug-ins folder (GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\):
icc_colorspace
separate
separate_import
and in (GIMP 2\bin\)
libtiff3.dll
I had the same problem. Your solution works great. Thanks.
Thank you very much. Same problem, but fixed in the same way.
cheers
Had the same problem with version 2.8 but after following the instructions, the dll missing error no longer shows but I get 2:
—————————
separate.exe – Application Error
—————————
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
—————————
OK

Errors… aaah
I have still the same problem. On another site I read about a problem, when you are using 64-bit System. This guy replaced 2.8 with 2.6.11 and then it worked (he wrote).
But I will wait on a solution for a 64-bit system
I had the same problem as you Max and Ruedi.
In addition of the “libtiff3.dll” file found on this site, I used the .exe files from “separate+-0.5.8+lcms2_win32_bin.zip” instead of the ones from the “separate+-0.5.8.zip” (see the separated+ web site) and I don’t have the errors anymore.
Give it a try.
Yeah, I’m working on a booklet for print, and it needs to be in CMYK color space, but it needs to be in pdf format. I can use Gimp 2.6.11 to export it as CMYK in TIFF format but not pdf, if I open the TIFF in 2.8 I can export to pdf but it reverts to a default RGB color space when I load the image.
you reaaally helped me!! I was working on that error for 2 hours or so… Thanks a lot!!
Thanks for this post simple fix.
Short, clear, and full answer on how installing seperate + for windows and fix the dll problem. You’re great, thanks.
Thanks for the quick fix. Best instructions on how to install separate+
I have the same problem but when I copied and pasted the file into the correct folder it still showed up that I was missing it =/
