Leo's Linux: Gimp Resynthesizer (Free Content Aware Fill)

So apparently the GIMP has had this plugin for quite some time, even predating the Photoshop version of this feature (which as of this recording hasn't been released yet). I was amazed when I saw it for Photoshop, so I wanted to share it with my fellow Linux fans.

This is the result of using the Gimp Resynthesizer on the same photos that were used in the photoshop demo:

nice tutorial, how did you get your window menus (File, Edit, Select) to show up in your top panel?

@daruu222222

I use a program called gnome2-globalmenu. The easiest way to get it is to download Ubuntu Tweak from ubuntu-tweak(dot)com, open the source center inside Ubuntu Tweak, and check off GNOME Globalmenu PPA. Then if you press the refresh button you'll see in the bottom right corner, it'll give you a prompt about installing GNOME Globalmenu for you, and you can add it to your panel just like any other panel item.

I installed GIMP and the plug in and didn't have good results. Top half of photo was sky, bottom half was trees and other stuff. I could remove some of the trees from the sky, but when I tried to remove objects in the lower half of the photo, I got big holes withe sky peeking through. A little searching revealed that there is a problem with the script and/or plug-in, but nothing I tried to seem to fix it.

I don't know what to tell you. It works fine for me. Did you try using the Filters > Map > Resynthesize menu option? I discovered that option after I made this video, and it seems like it does the same thing using a different algorithm.

thx for the demo

i like gimp a lot more every day

with the new 1 window option coming along people will have nothing to complain about

it;s about to explode with followers

btw nice desktop. what dock ?

[leodamascus]

@madjunir

That would be Cairo Dock. It's far and wide the most feature-rich dock I've seen on any operating system period.

@leodamascus

What version of Ubuntu are you using?

Also, what are your appearence preferences?

Thanks

It's useless feature - better to use stamp

[mollemannen]

i don't know if it's just the low resolution but i can clearly se a line were the selection was. but then again i'm pretty sure people are gonna be disappointed with content aware fill aswell.

[Hehosworld]

Just to say it: used the plugin for years... poor photoshop users they still have to wait a few days...

@LeodimeII lol, that statement is based on nothing
