superimpose image

[Michael Havens]

almost forgot a found a good tutorial using the g'mic plugin but g'mic will
not install. anyone have any hints on installing it?

You know, actually I got a lot of plugins in ~/gimp2.8/scripts that don't
seem to be seen. If I go to filters-scriptfu-refresh I get the errors:

GIMP Message:
Calling error for procedure 'gimp-image-get-active-layer':
Procedure 'gimp-image-get-active-layer' has been called with an invalid ID
for argument 'image'. Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on an image
that doesn't exist any longer.

Refresh Scripts Message
Error while loading /home/bmike1/.gimp-2.8/scripts/exposure-blend-1.3c.scm:
Error: (/home/bmike1/.gimp-2.8/scripts/exposure-blend-1.3c.scm : 627)
Procedure execution of gimp-image-get-active-layer failed on invalid input
arguments: Procedure 'gimp-image-get-active-layer' has been called with an
invalid ID for argument 'image'. Most likely a plug-in is trying to work on
an image that doesn't exist any longer.

but I don't even have an image open.
