Now, Let me put some light on its feature list to help you in understanding its working. Resynthesizer includes many features into the Filter Menu > Enhance. These are:
GIMP Heal Selection Tool
Heal Selection is one of the most used and popular features in this group and is indeed very useful. With the help of this tool, you can remove unwanted content, object or thing from your image.
Fall dragon dragonvale. You just need to select the object or thing you want to remove from your image and Heal Selection will replace the selection to look like its surroundings. In its dialogue box, it offers you to select the Context Sampling Width (in pixels), where you can enter the number of pixels from the surrounding of the selected sample you want Heal Selection to pick and give your selection the appropriate texture.
You can also select “Sample from” i.e from where around your selected sample you want to source pixels. It is by default at All around, but you can choose Sides and Above and Below as well according to your preferences. I find this helpful, especially where there is a hard delineation in an image. Other than this you can also select the Filling Order of your selection. By default the order is set at random but, you can select Inwards towards the Center, Outwards from the Center.
GIMP Heal Transparency Tool
The Heal Transparency is an easy to use and very handy healing tool when it comes to broken patches in the images. It is a versatile tool and very useful especially when you need to fill in the missing areas. It heals every transparent pixel in your image.
Heal Transparency option by default is Grayed Out thus to use this option you need to right click on the layer and select add Alpha Channel. Once added you could use this option to heal broken patches in your image. In its dialogue box, it offers you options to adjust Context Sampling Width (in pixels) and Filling Order of your selection.
GIMP Enlarge and Sharpen Tool
Enlarge and Sharpen as the name suggests is a functionality to Enlarge and Sharpen your image. GIMP Sharpen function gathers information from the surrounding pixels and increases contrast where some contrast already exists.
This function enlarges your image and sharpens it by proportion to make the image look a bit more pixelated. In its dialogue box, it offers you a functionality to adjust the amount from [1-32] to which you want to Enlarge or Sharpen your image on the Scale.
GIMP Uncrop Tool
Uncrop is not exactly inverse to crop by rather a bit different. It makes the canvas larger and heals the transparent border. It is very useful when you want to expand the boundaries of your image.
It works best for small enlargement of natural edges. Uncrop enlarges the image by matching the border of the image to the edge maintaining the appropriate perspective. In its dialogue box, you can adjust the Percentage of Enlargement of your image.
GIMP Sharpen by Synthesis Tool
This feature is used to sharpen images by synthesizing them. It could be considered as a more realistic variant of sharpening providing the image some clear details.
In its dialogue box, you can adjust the amount you want to sharpen your image by Synthesis.
Now, apart from these features in Filter > Enhance, GIMP Resynthesizer plugin offers some other features as well. In Filter > Map it adds two very handy features Resynthesizer and Style and in Filter > Render it offers Texture.
Let’s go through them as well.
GIMP Resynthesize Tool
Resynthesize is a very powerful and versatile tool. It helps you to Add Texture, Export Texture and also makes your image tileable. You can also put output to the bordering pixels. Resynthesize functions by copying pixels, one by one, from input to the output.
In its dialogue box, you can select the Texture Source, use Texture Transfer, also you can select whether to make your image horizontally tileable or vertically tileable. Apart from this you can tweak the neighborhood pixels of your image by selecting on the scale the amount for Neighbourhood Size, Search Thoroughness, Sensitivity to Outliers.
GIMP Style Tool
This is a very basic but handy feature. It helps you to transfer style (color, surface ) from one image to another. You can transfer your Styles from a chosen layer to the active layer.
It offers you flexibility to select the source of Syle and Percentage Transfer. You can also select if you want to map your image by color and brightness or brightness only.
GIMP Texture Tool
Texture, as the name suggests, helps you to add texture to the image. It helps you to create a new image with texture from the selected image i.e it adds seamless pattern to your image in accordance with the selected image.
In its dialogue box, it offers you to select Ratio of Size of a new image to source selection and also you can choose whether or not to make new image edges suitable for seamless tiling.
GIMP Resynthesizer plugin adds all this functionality and helps you make your image editing more fruitful. It is a very useful and versatile plugin that helps you turn your images into the ones you imagined them to be.
I tried covering all the aspects and features of this plugin but if you still find any missing link, query or suggestion, hit us in our comments section below.
Photoshop filter plugin is a GIMP plug-in that runs 3rd-party Photoshop plug-in filters. You can also use this plugin in GIMP Portable It was written in 2001, and it initially worked on Windows only. Then nothing much happened until now (March 2006) when it became available also on Linux. All that was needed, basically, was for somebody to try building it using winegcc. Possibly building and running it on Linux might have worked already years ago, but nobody tried. Thanks to Mukund for trying it on Linux and reporting the success!
Where to find Photoshop filter plug-in that are any good?
Google is your friend. You will find time-limited or functionally limited demo versions of commercial filters, and “freeware” filters. A lot of the 3rd-party filters that you can find on the net are mostly crap, though, and don’t do anything particularily exciting that one couldn’t do with GIMP already.
There are some exceptions though. I think that for instance many filters from Flaming Pear are highly regarded. You can find time-limited demo versions, and some giveaway fully functional ones from their site.
Some magazines that come with “cover” CD-ROMs, like Computer Arts, often include commercial Photoshop filters on the CD-ROMs. They might for instance be slightly older versions than those that you need to pay full price for.
Photoshop plug-in filters (for the Windows version of Photoshop, which is what we are talking about here) are actually Windows DLLs, which are dynamically loaded into the plug-in host process’s address space. They are files with the extension .8bf, though, not .dll. (GIMP plug-ins, on the other hand, are separate processes.)
Unlike GIMP plug-ins, 3rd-party Photoshop plug-ins don’t use any common user interface library. (GIMP plug-ins use GTK+, obviously.) This is because 3rd-party Photoshop plug-ins are usually available both for the Windows and Macintosh versions of Photoshop. Typically each company uses some homegrown widget library, with a look and feel that is widely different than the normal Windows common control look and feel, or the GTK+ look and feel.
What is in the binary packages?
Windows
What is in the binary packages?
Windows
The Windows package includes just pspi.exe. Put it in your GIMP plug-ins folder.
After starting GIMP, go to the Xtns:Photoshop Plug-in Settings and enter the folder where you are going to keep the 3rd-party Photoshop plug-ins (.8bf files) that you want to use in GIMP.
Preferrably you should use an initially empty folder for this, and then install (copy) Photoshop plug-ins there one by one, verifying that each works. It isn’t really useful to rush and install a shitload of Photoshop plug-ins at once and assume they all will work under pspi.
How to make the plugins work in GIMP
64-bit Download
- Step 1. Download the Photoshop filter plugin (pspi) for GIMP here.Open the archive “Gimp_Ps_plugin_support.zip” and copy the plugin filter (pspi.exe) to the GIMP plugin directory:C:Program FilesGIMP 2libgimp2.0plug-ins
- Step 2. Download and install AKVIS plugins you want to use. Don’t worry that GIMP is not recognized by the setup files.
- Step 3. Open GIMP and select Photoshop Plug-in settings in the menu Filters. A new window will pop up: Click on the first folder (“1”). The button in the middle of the window will be highlighted in red.Click on the last folder (“2”) and find the folder with AKVIS plugins (C:Program Files (x86)AKVIS).Hint: You can copy all necessary plugins (.8bf files) to a separate folder and add only this folder to GIMP.Press “OK”.
- Step 4. After re-opening GIMP, you will find the newly installed AKVIS plugins in the menu Filters. They will become active when you open any picture.
- Bear in mind that not all AKVIS plug-ins are fully compatible with GIMP which works with selection in other way than Photoshop.
