How To Install Resynthesizer plugin’s in GIMP 2.10 in Windows 10

How To Install Resynthesizer plugin’s in GIMP 2.10 in Windows 10

Introduction

Today we are going to show how to install a very useful Gimp script called Resynthesizer. What is Resynthesizer? Resynthesizer is a Gimp plug-in for texture synthesis. Given a sample of a texture, it can create more of that texture. Similar to Photoshop Heal tool. For repairing scanned torn photographs in GIMP this is a no brain er set of tools to install.

What Does Resynthesizer Include?

The package includes:

  • resynthesizer plugin engine (without a GUI)
  • resynthesizer-gui plugin control panel for the engine
  • various plugins (in Python language) that call the resynthesizer engine. See below.

Python Scripts Included

plugin-heal-selection.py – Retouch. Like the heal tool, but automatic. Replaces the selection to look like its surroundings. In menu Filters > Enhance > Heal selection
plugin-heal-transparency.py – Like above, but you don’t need to select anything, it heals every transparent pixel. In menu Filters > Enhance > Heal transparency
plugin-map-style.py – Transfer the ‘style’ of one image to another. In menu Filters > Map > Style.
plugin-render-texture.py – Creates a new image having the texture from another image. In other words, a seamless, irregular wallpaper (if the source image is smaller.) In menu Filters > Render > Texture.
plugin-resynth-enlarge.py – Enlarge (increase the resolution) and sharpen. Might restore more plausible detail than simple scaling up and using other sharpens. In menu Filters > Enhance > Enlarge & sharpen
plugin-resynth-fill-pattern.py – Similar to Render > Texture. Fills with an irregular pattern from another image. In menu Filters > Edit > Fill with pattern seamless.
plugin-resynth-sharpen.py – A variant of sharpening that might give more plausible detail. In menu Filters > Enhance > Sharpen
plugin-uncrop.py – Makes the canvas larger and heals the new transparent border. Not exactly the inverse of cropping, but almost: reconstructs what might have been cropped earlier. In menu Filters > Enhance > Uncrop

 

Installation

Note: For this instance we will be installing only 64-bit version.

First step is to download from here https://www.mediafire.com/file/gwc928wmwti30g3/resynth_win_32_64.zip/file

Extract the zip file.

Take the two files w64/resynthesizer.exe w64/resynthesizer-gui.exe and the python scripts and copy to the Gimp user profile plug-ins folder (C:\Users\”yourname”\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins)

Start Gimp and the plugins will be added.

  1. Thanks but I can’t make this work. Is it because the link refers to Gimp 1.0 files?
