Whether you want to just enhance the colors of an image, or you want to make a photo look like a painting, G’MIC has an impressive range of options that will definitely cover whichever GIMP filter you need. Resynthesizer essentially takes one of the most popular features from Photoshop—Content-Aware Fill—and adds it to GIMP. It can sample texture from a photo and easily create more of that texture. While there are multiple uses for this, it’s most often used to remove unwanted images—say, that Starbucks cup from your photo of a medieval knight—without any hint it was ever there. Darktable makes editing RAW images in GIMP easy, but also offers advanced features for those who need them. What sets Darktable apart from other GIMP RAW editors is its focus on the user interface, making it intuitive and accessible no matter what your initial skill level is. It works by taking a single layer and breaking it up into multiple layers of fine details, allowing you to finely tune your images, and remove things like blemishes or unwanted wrinkles. Wavelet Decompose can also be useful for tweaking colors or removing other unwanted oddities from your images. While you may not use DDS very often, this is an essential plugin to ensure you’re able to access and create every file type you may end up editing in GIMP. There a ton of effects added here, such as plugins to make your images look like cartoons, red-eye removers, a bunch of sharpness effects, and lots of color tools. You’ll also get a watermark plugin that allows you to create a watermark you can add to any image whenever you need it. While some of your old GIMP plugins may have stopped working, downloading this script bundle will fill in the gaps and get you back on track.
