results. click on large to see the picture better.

Not sure if this is a settings problem or a Windows/GIMP problem. I'm using
Linux. A couple of things you should try:

1. In settings make sure you have enough memory available.

Edit -> Preferences -> Environment

(How much ram do you have and how big is the image you're working on ?)

2. A long shot here but I notice in your screen shot that the 'select by
color' tool is selected and the cursor looks like the cursor for that tool
is active (at least that what the cursor looks like on my setup).. So did
you make a selection by color before running this plugin ??? If so that
could be your problem. If you really want to do this then make the
selection and paste it into a new layer first (anchor it after pasting !!). Then run the plugin on this layer. Otherwise the plugin may produce weird
results..if it is running on a selection from the layer. The plugin
probably works on layers and not selections.. At least that's a wild
theory on my part and I am only theorizing.... ;-)




From the research I've done on this I think it is a PPC Mac bug. I reported it to bugzilla gimp. and now I wait.
