"Content-Aware Fill" in The GIMP

Click (more info) for links to the plugin!

Adobe's upcoming feature "Content-Aware Fill" is pretty astounding - but it's been available for users of The GIMP for free for a while now, with the "Resynthesizer" plugin written by Paul Harrison.

Debian Linux users can simply 'apt-get install gimp-resynthesizer'.

Windows users can get the plugin from http://registry.gimp.org/files/resynthesizer-0.16.zip (if it doesn't work right, see the thread at http://registry.gimp.org/node/15118 for the fix).

The source code can be downloaded from the plugin's original site at http://logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer

There are other ways to use the plugin, in addition to the method shown here (Filters->Enhance->Smart remove selection or Filters->Enhance->Heal selection, depending on which version of the plugin you have installed).

@felipeahura Hardly. As with most tools, one merely needs to learn how to use it properly.

I went to filters, map and resynthesis is not there. Could you help me out with that?

Although in lost of circumstances this plug in does a good job, the function set in Photoshop is much more versatile. But it great because it's free.
