Fake high dynamic range effect for Gimp

noobie here very excited about trying out this plug-in! =) put this in the plug-in area of my gimp install and it shows up just fine in the Filters menu buuutttt....

when i tried it on a picture, i used the settings that opened up in it ie, layer opacity 95.00. when i clicked on OK, it simultaneously gave me two warning messages:

1. dynamic range increase message
error while executing script-fu-Eg-DynamicRangeIncrease
error vector-ref: out of bounds 1

2. GIMP message
Plug-in 'Dynamic Range Increase' left image undo in inconsistent state, closing open undo groups.

gimp seems to have closed the plug-in with no effect upon the picture - i can still edit it just fine but without using that plug-in. any ideas what's going on here? i'm using windows 7 - hope that's not the problem. thanks in advance for any available help. =)

I have downloaded this script, but it will not show up in the Script-Fu in GIMP. I placed it in the scripts folder, do I need to be placing it somewhere else?

Error while executing script-fu-fake-hdr-effect-adaptive:

Error: eval: unbound variable: plug-in-ace

I've tried all the variable setting ideas from googling fixing script-fu's, but I just don't understand scheme well enough to get the idea of how to do it.

TIA,

Jim

i like a lot the output ,especially in your examples nice script But i found script name misleading HDR , true or fake do not boost the colors as in your examples and in that on tutorial page Maybe something as Color-boost-HDR or Technicolor-HDR will describe better the effect (is not needed to add "fake" all hdr scripts for gimp create fake hdr since the real requires 16bit )
