Resynthesizer tutorial

Download and unzip Windows or tar.gz other systems.

The readme file contains a description of the commands, which is too brief, so this tutorial.

Installing for Linux

Copy files to:

~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/

Installation for Windows

For version 2, let's build a binary file with the C++ compiler.

Copy files to:

c:\Users\username\gimp-2.8\plug-ins\  

If you cannot compile the plugin, you can use the previous version, which is equipped with an installer. Download and extract the archive, run the executable and replace 2.6 with 2.8 using the suggested path.

Commands for using the resynthesizer

A new command will appear in the "Script-fu" menu: Enhance (improved).
It contains three options:

Smart binding

Creates a new image from the selection.

Delete Selected Object

Removes the object framed by the selection tool and restores the fill based on what surrounds the object. Specifies the length of the radius (radius).
You cannot select a sample, it is also better to use the filter described below.
In Windows, the script has an error and repeats the upper left corner of the image, and not what is around. There is a patch for Gimp.org.

Smart sharpen

Makes sharper.

To use a synthesizer, select part of the image and click one of these options.

Resynthesizer filter

It is located in the menu:

Filter -> Map -> Resynthesize...

It allows you to create a texture that can be used as a brick, or delete an object, as the Intelligent Deselect command does.
But it also allows you to choose a source as a sample.

Parameters:

Horizontal/vertical suitability

Change the image to create a brick that can be used as a texture.
Clear the check box if you want to delete an object in the image.

Exit to pixel boundaries

Since the object to be deleted is determined by the selected object, the plugin ensures that the edges of the texture match what is around

Texture transfer

Specify two images that will guide the placement of the texture in the destination image.
The plugin will search the source texture for pixels of the same colors in the input image and the output image.
The input image must have the same mode and size as the image used as the texture.
The output image must be the same mode and size as the image you want to change. Most often, the most common picture itself is used.

Important menu

Use the slider to determine how important these two carry images are.

Sensitivity to outliers

Sensitivity to extreme values. Perhaps you want to smooth out the differences or take them into account.

Let's move on to practice, step by step, with images obtained at each stage.
