What this plugin does:

Transfers artistic style from one image to another. Often the source is an artistic image and the target is a realistic, photo image. But you can also transfer between artistic images or between realistic images.

An artist might say this plugin "renders in the media and style from another image." A computer user might say it "renders in the theme of another image."

Transferring style means transferring small scale features (color and texture) to an image while retaining large scale features (objects.)  read more »

This plug-in prompts for a directory then exports your channels as individual PNG files. This could be useful for preparing artwork for screen printing (silkscreen).

How to use:
1. Open the channels dialog
2. Create a new channel, selecting opacity and fill color
3. Perform creation/editing on channel
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed.
5. Run the filter

Remove the ".txt" extension from the file, and linux users be sure to flag the file as executable.  read more »

This plugin allows you to unseparate (recombine) individual PNG files (up to 6 files) and preview them in GIMP as they would be printed - for example on a 6-color silkscreen press. This is useful when preparing 1-color screens in GIMP or other programs, since you can get a reasonable representation of how they will look when printed atop one another.

This plug-in requires Python. Please do not ask how to install Python support for GIMP - search the forum (I'm looking at you, windows users ;)  read more »

This plugin creates a new image having texture synthesized from the selection.

It hides several steps to set up and use the resynthesizer. It requires the separate resynthesizer plug-in.

See the Resynthesizer author Paul Harrison's website, about using the resynthesizer to generate textures.

The effect for users:
Similar to "Fill resynthesized pattern" except:
- here the arguments are reversed: you select a texture and create a new image
instead of selecting an area and choosing a pattern.
- here the result is less random (since Fill resynthesized adds noise.)  read more »

This is a simple python script, which creates spirograph type curves. There are endless varieties which can be generated. There is a page on my site with some documentation:

This script helps you making a HDR image by three different exposures.
This script blends three different exposures of the same scene, it combines them to get the best parts of the images.

This procedure works best if you:  read more »

A plugin that makes shortcuts, in a Shortcuts menu, to other plugins.

Install it in your local plugin directory. You can run it to see what it would do, and cancel it, without creating any shortcuts. If you do create shortcuts, it will create them in your local plugin directory. You can later manually delete the shortcut plugins.

This is a prototype that I'm posting for comment. It works but it could be improved. I would be glad to start a community project.

A future version might:

This file contains examples, or templates, of registering plugins using gimpfu.register().
This is for GIMP Python programmers, not users.
When installed, this one file puts many (nine) demo plugins into GIMP.
The demo plugins don't do much except make an appearance.

These demonstrate various combinations of:
- where plugins appear (or not) in the menus (or elsewhere) in GIMP
- when the plugin's menu items are enabled (sensitive)
- what parameters a plugin_main() receives
- whether a plugin opens a GUI dialog for user to choose options (set parameters.)  read more »

Most peoples faces are not symmetrical. This python plugin, allows you to easily create mirror images of a persons face. Just make a rectangular selection of the portion of the image you are interested in, and the plugin will do the rest. An example can be found on my website: http://www.andyshelley.co.uk/gimpsymmetry/index.php

A prototype, for programmers, not for artists or users.

From the README file:

A Gimp plugin that lets plugin programmers view documentation for PDB procedures, GIMP-Python modules, plugins and modules written in Python, and image data. The documentation is live, generated from the code itself and from the current state of GIMP and the PDB.

Installation:

Copy plugin-inspect.py and the inspector directory to your own, local plugin directory. Make plugin-inspect.py executable. See a comment in plugin-inspect.py for Linux commands.
