![]() Overall, G’MIC is a great resource for all sorts of random textures, colors, maps, retouching tasks, and renders. ![]() The videos I’ve made thus far showcasing G’MIC’s capabilities have hardly scratched the surface of what this thing can do. From animating still photos, to color grading images, to turning photos into cartoons, to creating a collage from multiple images (premium), there’s all sorts of practical uses for this plugin. I’ve used G’MIC in a variety of tutorials on my channel, and these tutorials demonstrate the breadth of its available effects. The breadth of this plugin still astounds me to this day, with artistic filters like Bokeh, Sketch, and even one called “Warhol,” just to name some examples from the “Artistic” section of this plugin (there are 20 sections total, each with various filters and effects). G’MIC, which stands for “Greys Magic for Image Computing,” is essentially a massive library of effects and filters that allow you to further manipulate or edit your images beyond what comes standard with GIMP. This plugin is by far the most jam-packed plugin you’ll find for GIMP. The first plugin I’ll cover for this article is the G’MIC plugin. I have personally tested all the plugins and add-ons discussed here, and excluded plugins that I feel haven’t been well-maintained or updated over the years, don’t properly work in newer versions of GIMP, or contain redundant core features that are now included by default in GIMP. In this article, I’ll be discussing my favorite GIMP plugins and add-ons that take editing and designing in GIMP to the next level. But what plugins are worth the installation in terms of being useful, practical, safe, and user-friendly? Of course that's no longer a specific need for me personally, that's just where my "orphaned" comment stems from.One of the main benefits of the free photo editor GIMP is that it can have additional features added to it by installing third-party plugins. So it's kind of surprising that the gimp devs have not incorporated similar functionality, into the basic package.įWIW, as far as my "orphaned" comment, I thought when we discussed some time ago how modern distributions of Linux had dropped python 2 support.I asked if there might be a python 3 compatible update in store for resynthesizer.and I thought someone said that the original developer had gone MIA or similar. There are other means, (clone/smudge etc) but in the 95% of the time where it works flawlessly, it's pretty close to a point and click solution. I see questions here about resynth over and over again.Īnd, I'd hate to think about having to work without it. I guess that I should just be thankful to have working copies in both my W64 and Linux 32 working environments (the latter of which I am especially beholding to you).īut it just tickled me the way you said "for the n-th time" and it's true. At the end of the day, it is only a small set of files and Gimp is built around plugins. All about the additional 'heal selection' python plugins which I think are invaluable. I wonder how many actually put resynthesizer to its intended use, making seamless patterns ? I have not seen a query about that in some time. Not difficult to compile in linux, I have a 'colormatch-branch' resynth with a python GUI in place of the regular binary GUI and that is about 3 years old. The Parthia version is 64 bit and about as up-to-date for Win as any, unless you compile it yourself. Fair enough as it is 'universal' but there can not be that many 32 bit Gimp users around these days. If you follow say, that Davies Media video, it takes you to this: which is a 10 year old 32 bit compilation. ![]() Not so much orphaned as not much (any) developments in the Windows environment. I'm surprised the main program developers have not just kinda absorbed the plugin, and made it native to gimp? I believe you stated at one point that Resynthesizer had been orphaned?.
