How to install Resynthesizer in gimp?

I dont know how to install Resynthesizer in gimp.I want Resynthesizer for editing my images.Anyone please help


For GIMP <= 2.8 the "Resynthesizer" plugin together with other scripts and tools (including the brilliant tool "Heal Selection") can easily be installed with the package gimp-plugin-registry

From the shell:

sudo apt-get install gimp-plugin-registry

For Gimp >= 2.10 the plugin-registry and with it the resynthesizer and heal-selection plugins may not (yet) be available. Until we have access to these tools again we need to put the plugins

  • resynthesizer
  • resynthesizer_gui
  • plugin-heal-selection.py

to any of the defined plugin folders. I recommend ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins in our HOME.

We can get these either from compiling the source from the project's home page or from downloading an Ubuntu DEB file a release of the plugin-registry for GIMP 2.8 matching our architecture to extract above files. I tested these to still work on GIMP 2.10.6.


In case anyone used flatpak to install the lateset GIMP (2.10.20 as of this writing), I ran the command flatpak search org.gimp.GIMP and noticed the following package available:

org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.Resynthesizer

Seeing that, I ran flatpak install org.gimp.GIMP.Plugin.Resynthesizer, opened up GIMP, and the new filters were available and worked as expected.

you can also search for all plugins avalible to install using flatpak:

flatpak search org.gimp.GIMP.plugin

Basically you download the file and extract it, after that you copy it into your gimp plug-ins folder.

Folder location: Go to your home folder, press Ctrl+h, search for .gimp2.x folder (x is number of your gimp version) then search for plug-ins folder.
