Just saw on Mastodon that the Resynthesizer plugin will be ready to use with GIMP 3.0

Along with other third-party plugins developed for GIMP, like G'MIC and BIMP, Resynthesizer is so integral to our workflows that it's easy to forget that it's not part of the core project.

"Resynthesizer is a Gimp plug-in for texture synthesis. Given a sample of a texture, it can create more of that texture. This has a surprising number of uses: Creating more of a texture. (including creation of tileable textures)"

In case you, like I, didn't know.

it can create more of that texture. This has a surprising number of uses: Creating more of a texture. 

Still trying to figure out if this is sarcasm, or just missing the rest of the uses.

It's missing the rest:

Resynthesizer is a Gimp plug-in for texture synthesis. Given a sample of a texture, it can create more of that texture. This has a surprising number of uses:

  • Creating more of a texture (including creation of tileable textures)
  • Removing objects from images (great for touching up photos)
  • Creating themed images (such as the Resynthesizer logo above)

And allegedly was the progenitor of the 'healing' and 'content-aware' tools that Adobe became so famous for, pas moins

Obligatory.

@Churbleyimyam This is great news! I always found a hassle to install it, yet it was such a useful tool. I'm glad this is going on the main project.

Very cool.

I have been playing with Omnigen (a new open source image-based AI) for unblur and exposure adjustment. Works pretty darn well, and have considered creating a plugin for it for GIMP if no one else does.
