Install Resynthesizer
This page is subject to frequent change.
The first party is gimp.org, who maintain, build, and distribute the GIMP app, and an "official" set of plugins for GIMP. A second party is a user.
A third party is a maintainer of a plugin not maintained by the first party, gimp.org. The Resynthesizer is a third-party plugin. The maintainers of this repository do not generally build and distribute the Resynthesizer plugin. The first party, gimp.org does not maintain or distribute the Resynthesizer plugin.
A fourth party is a "distributor", such as Debian or Canonical (Ubuntu) or another individual. A fourth party packages, or creates an installer for, certain sets of software. Sometimes they package and distribute third-party plugins.
Increasingly, a fourth party may also be a "bundler". They bundle individual applications with the desktop and other libraries an app depends on. The notion of "bundling" originates on Mac operating systems. Bundling systems for Linux include flatpak, snap, and appImage.
On Linux, the best way to get Resynthesizer is the flatpack version of Resynthesizer.
Steps:
- install flatpak
- install flatpak GIMP
- install flatpak Resynthesizer
The command:
flatpak list gimp
will list all the GIMP plugins available as flatpaks.
In this case, the first party (gimp.org) maintains the GIMP flatpak, and a fourth party (certain individuals, including the maintainer of the Resynthesizer plugin) maintain the Resynthesizer flatpak. Both of which are hosted at i.e. downloadable from, the flathub site.
Formerly, some fourth party distributors such as Debian packaged a bundle of third party plugins for GIMP, for example in the package "gimp-plugin-registry". That package usually included the resynthesizer.
Formerly, some distributions packaged Python 2 for GIMP in a package "gimp-python."
Increasingly, distributors do not package either Python 2 or the resynthesizer plugin, because Python 2 is not supported.
Some fourth party individuals still package GIMP and third-party plugins for GIMP, in what are called PPA's.
(Unknown whether there functioning bundles of GIMP with the Resynthesizer for snap and appImage.)
