GMIC has a bit of everything for everybody. For the rest it depends what you use Gimp for. Editing photos? Digital painting? Creating graphics? Other?

I think it would be best to ask "per event". This is what I am trying to achieve, how to do it? There can be recommendations on methods to use or plug-ins that can achieve the result.

No need to install hundreds of plug-ins that you will never use. That is just clutter.

As previous comments, it all depends where your center-of-interest lies. Photography different from animations different from web graphics.

Rather than adding masses of brushes and fonts, never a good idea, they can be added as required. Look at adding some simple utilities.

The only script I add permanently is one to add multiple guides, and then edit keyboard shortcuts for a quick way to remove all those guides.

For plugins, resynthesizer and heal selection, (Win10 64 bit: use this one. https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Resynt...7#pid12687) Although it can be replaced by one of the gmic filters http://www.gmic.eu

Then one or two of Ofnuts path utilities (path-edits, bend-path) from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-too...s/scripts/ and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pat...s/scripts/

Some old scripts here really for Gimp 2.8 Some still work, many not needed in Gimp 2.10
http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/repo...t-fu/index group-linked-layers is useful

All these you can get a clue as to what they do from their name. Your biggest problem might be forgetting how PS works.

Final solution Wink
