Which GIMP 3 plugins are you using?

Which plugins are you using in GIMP 3? And how are you discovering new ones?
I’m on the lookout for more!

Currently I have:

Frequency Separation, Interactive Luminosity Masks and Dodge & Burn from @chuckhenrich

  • And of course GMIC-Qt. A recent discovery for me was that you can take G’MIC commands and use them in Batcher :muscle:

I’d really love to use the Resynthesizer on Gimp 3 …but not sure how to go about it :frowning:

I replaced Resynthesizer with G’MICs inpainting function.

i’ll give it a try; but not sure g’mic is working on gimp3 yet (is it?)

It works fine. I am using the flatpak version.

Agreed sir!

GMic and Resynthesizer (easier tu use then Gmic-inpaint in simple cases) work perfectly without flatpak & Co

tutorial? pls

@stefan.chirila

The vital missing info is your version of linux, Using say Fedora might be a hurdle.

For resynthesizer (and debian ) it is not difficult to compile resynthesizer. There are details here: Build Resynthesizer from source · bootchk/resynthesizer Wiki · GitHub

gimp_gmic_qt also not difficult to compile but depending on linux version there are pre-made binaries.

This for example a Debian 13 (VM) Gimp 3.0.4

What do I use, well a cobbled together Gimp 3.0.6 appimage for kubuntu 24.04
and resynth / gimp_gmic_qt are definitely used. What else ? rename layers from here: Plug-ins – Funky

Big but: Gimp 2 has(had) a long history and dozens of useful scripts/plugins Gimp 3 will get there eventually. Keep a Gimp 2.10 appimage handy (just saying)

THANK YOU I will check it out. I am using Debian 13 :slight_smile:

That makes things easier. There is a Debian 13 gimp plugin on the gmic.eu site.

If you have trouble compiling for any reason, these are the two heal +resynth plugins

https://filedn.com/lkb9dw6mEfXSsOu9uKLaM14/deb-trixie-resynth.zip

unzip and put the four folders in your Gimp user profile ~/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins/

…that is assuming you are using the default Gimp 3.0.4 - I do not know if anything works with a flatpak.

Thanks @butlerbright for the mention of my plugins!

I’m not sure what OS you’re using or how GIMP is packaged for you but on Debian linux I’ve been able to install it for my flatpak via GNOME software and for my Debian repo I was able to build it from source (one of the very few things that worked for me doing that!).
I do hope it will get easier to install plugins on GIMP 3 at some point.
