Gimp distort effect like in Paint.net - Dgir - 07-20-2020
Hi. Is there effect like "Dents" effect of Paint.net? For reference https://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/EffectsDistortMenu.html
I recently switched to Linux, and I would like to stop using Windows for help in my projects. Gimp is awesome editor, but I can't fully use it without this feature.
I need something similar to "Dents" effect. Please help. Thank you!

If you can get the gimp_gmic_qt plugin installed from http://www.gmic.eu there are a couple of filters that give a similar effect.

There might also be a gimp_gmic version available from your linux distro repository or if using a flatpak Gimp, there is a version for that as well. Nothing AFAIK for ubuntu snap versions. Give your linux distro if you have any problems.
Probably other plugins as well, can't think of anything else at the moment.
edit: looking through my archive, maybe this compiled plugin figured-glass
Unzip. Put in ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins folder should already be marked executable but check anyway.
find it in Filters -> Distorts -> Figured Glass Gives this:
