GIMP 3.2.x

[Grizz56]

I'm fairly new to GIMP, although I'm no stranger to audio, video, and some image editing software, to include the now defunct Photoshop CS3. I'm reasonably confident I can dance through various options until I get my desired results, but today I'm stumped.

I'm trying to find a Windows x64 repository for a GIMP 3.2 Resynthesizer plugin, but I keep getting directed to v2.x and 3.0 plugins, many of which are python-based script. I understand GIMP 3.2.x no longer supports python-based script. I'm registered with GitHub for some of the audio/video editing and ripping software I use, and I'm not having any luck there, either, since most of the code within GitHub's repositories are Linux-based.

Can somebody point me in the right direction? The basic GIMP 3.2.4 plugins are fine for what they are, but I know firsthand how powerful tools can be when they are readily at hand. The tools I've read about that are contained in the resynthesizer plugin are some tools I'd like really to try.

Thanks!

Not quite true. The Gimp 3 syntax for python (and script-fu) has changed from Gimp 2.10 Those old scripts / plugins no longer work.

There is no "official" repo for Gimp 3 plugins at the moment although one is planned, however for the resynthesizer plugins (yes, you can have script-fu plugins now) there is a zip here:

https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Resynt...ows-Gimp-3

Unzip resynthesizer.zip Put the 4 folders in your Gimp 3.2 User plugins - C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.2\plug-ins
I have given it another try with Gimp 3.2.4 / Win 11 (VM) "just-in-case" and it does work. Seems a little slower than before but gets there.

In addition to resynthesizer get the gimp_gmic_qt plugin. http://www.gmic.eu It has 600+ filters in the package. As well as for Gimp, you find it in other applications - examples Krita for painting or Flowblade for video. If you are "hands-on" not difficult to apply effects to extracted video frames and remake into video.
Oh-dear, old, not a great example, a sort of cartoon effect. https://youtu.be/-TVYsZjPf20

Another must-have For batch working is the Batcher plugin https://kamilburda.github.io/batcher/ Plenty examples on use there.
