From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"Gimp is good but i miss the heal patch" ...not really.

Resynthesize is a heal selection plugin you can add to Gimp. With many software store manager like the one from Linux Mint all you have to do is simply to add the additional components in the software page

Otherwise you can download it from github and add it to your plugin folder following this guide

https://www.arkthinker.com/edit-image/remove-the-watermark-with-gimp/

https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer

once installed you can find it in Filters> Enhance > Heal section

Unless this has been fixed in newer versions, it should be pointed out that ReSynthesizer relies on an older version of Python that most distrobutions don't have anymore, so unless your using the flatpak, which has all of those dependencies still built in, it won't work.

I believe 3.0 finally moved to Python 3. Resynthesizer was also totally rewritten for 3.0, but I don’t think it’s in Python anymore (?).

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

Cool. Thanks for the info. I must have been on the Flatpak for so long that I just never noticed.

Would launching it after setting up pyenv work?

I had to do a pyenv for an llm to run.

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

what about the appimage?

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Not sure. I'd assume its the same as the flatpak with a bit more work involved in deconstructing the apk file, adding the plugin to the proper folder and then recompiling.

I installed it like and hour ago (prior to seeing your message), will try it out soon. Never gave a proper run to Gimp. Insalled on Bazzite, had a downloadable extension section with it and all. I frigging love Bazzite. Thanks for the reminder: D

Gentoo also has it in the repos. Really cool tool. I don't do much image editing these days, but recently used it to extend a background (mostly a simple pattern) for a wallpaper.

[–] NOOBMASTER@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

cool. I forgot I had installed flatpak gimp to be able to use the latest version. now the plugin.

nope, didn't work.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Which version of the plugin did you install. There's a whole bunch of them when you type flatpak install gimp. The resynthesizer version that works with gimp3 flatpak is number 20 in my screenshot. The one that has the 3

Thanks! Always good to hear about useful Linux software, I didn't use it a lot in Photoshop but still nice to have. I had so many go-to places to learn about new Windows software now gotta find the same for Linux.

[–] ian@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just for historical info: This has been available in Gimp for a very long time. It was there for several years before Adobe copied it, and added it to Photoshop. This sort of thing tends to get forgotten.

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 2 points 2 days ago

Ah thanks, that's interesting. I feel like they go back and forth as far as features being "inspired" although I do have more faith in the GIMP team than Adobe going forward, as far as adding features I'll actually use.

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is there a list of good GIMP 3 compatible plugins?

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I've added some link, but i suggest you to double check everything.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Would be nice to see a plugin where you can resize to small and back to large and have it no pixelate.
Maybe even drawing shapes.

[–] NewOldGuard@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That use case makes it sound like you’re looking for a vector editor, like Krita

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 days ago

well i dont want to use 2 apps to edit just one image
