I am working to restore an old image and there is a ton of white marks left by tape or some other type of wear. I have been using a combination of resynthesizers heal filter and the clone stamp but it is far too time consuming. I was hoping someone might have a suggestion of how to better deal with this sort of damage.
In the image I included you can see where I have already restored the bottom right portion of the jacket as well as a small portion of the arm and trousers but it is taking a painful amount of time to do this. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks.

I downloaded and unzipped the Resynthesizer files so I can remove a figure from a photo. I can't find the PLUGINS folder in my  GIMP program to add the files. Using WIN10, and GIMP 2.10.32

I have been trying to write a script to automate colour cast removal.
If an image has transparency it "dilutes" the colour cast I am trying to remove.
When I run the following code

Double-clicking on the number in brush size doesn't highlight it. What gives?

I have successfully written a script, which when ran in the Python-Fu console does what I want. I want to make a keyboard shortcut, so I can run this quickly when necessary, rather than pasting it into the console every time. How should I do this? I've tried writing the code in VS code and saving it in the GIMP scripts folder as both a .py and .scm file. The .scm file raises 'unbound variable: import' when I hit 'refresh scripts' under Script-Fu. I cannot find where to run the script as a .py, but it seems to refresh fine. I also do not know how I would bind a keyboard shortcut to a script.

Here's the code, though I doubt this is the issue as it works fine in the console:

import gimpfu
current_image = gimp.image_list()[0]
layer=pdb.gimp_layer_new(current_image, 1, 1, gimpfu.RGB_IMAGE, "white_layer", 100, gimpfu.NORMAL_MODE)
pdb.gimp_image_add_layer(current_image, layer, 0)
pdb.gimp_layer_resize_to_image_size(layer)
pdb.gimp_item_set_visible(layer, 0)

Hi,
I just installed the latest version of GIMP 2.10.32 on Windows. I was running some tests, and found this broken behavior. Could someone check this out on their system?

1. Load an image into GIMP. I've tried this with both 'png' and 'jpg' file types.
2. Duplicate the layer.
3. On the duplicate layer, apply the default Engrave settings from Filters/Distorts/Engrave....
4. Change the layer mode of the top layer to Burn.

GIMP 2.10.32 was working perfectly. All of a sudden I can't export a head without a black background. I removed GIMP and re-installed. No difference. I'm stumped.

How can I merge visible paths without losing the original visible path layers (like the image layer option 'New from Visible') ?

To align the middle of different text layers on different guides (vertical or/and horizontal), press Ctrl and Alt with 'Text Tool' activated, click in a text layer and drag it to a guide or a point where guides intersect. While pressing Ctrl and Alt a little cross appears in the middle of the text layer. This cross snaps to the guides. If the text box has an odd width, then the cross snaps one pixel left or right of the guide. Helps to make a personal time table for street theatre on different places and times for example.

I used GIMP years ago very actively and was quite happy with that. But I don't understand the one it turned to be now. Icons became smaller, on a black background impossible to see anything without strong magnifier. But the main concern higher versions of GIMP became very uncomfortable to use. I was trying just to make a drop shadow on text and found it is not working. The help I found says 6.7.4. Using Drop Shadow Filter

This GEGL Drop Shadow filter is surprising: if you apply the filter directly to the image as you do with the legacy filter, you get nothing!

and I have to do from 9 to 19 steps to make it work! You guys, who create updates to this software, are going in wrong direction! 

I wish to donate for those creating GIMP I used to know, but today's one is so out of touch with people! Please, give me the old GIMP back!
