I have a large collection of old slides showing all the problems you 
describe in your article to greater or lesser degree, so
I was extremely interested in your post. I've downloaded your plugins.
Unfortunately  I get a "Forbidden" error when I try to download the 
readme.txt; and it's not clear to me how to get the python plugins 
actually installed in Gimp 2.6 after copying them into the 
~/.gimp-2.6/plugins directory.
Can you help?
