So far I have only downloaded one plugin, Wavelet Decompose (still learning it). Not sure how I got it done but I did. So any advise for a newbie is appreciated. How and where to get them appear to be a challenge. Resynthesizer is definitely one I read I need. Also GMIC?
Assuming you are using Windows.
Any extra Gimp resources - scripts, plugins, fonts, brushes... - go in the appropriate folder in your Gimp profile.
C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\....
(edit: This is a little out of date now but worth a read https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/GIMPProfile/ )
This is a Windows hidden folder, to un-hide it see: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...windows-10
Most scripts (something.scm) and plugins (something.py, something.exe, something.dll) are installed manually. Copy/move the file across to the appropriate folder.
Not many plugins come with an installer, gmic_gimp http://www.gmic.eu is an exception, get the installer, run it and it installs all its files in the correct place. Lots of filters in there, 515 at the moment.
For that old resynthesizer plugin, two files resynthesizer.exe, resynthesizer-gui.exe, + any of the something.py files go in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins
Resynthesizer is an old but powerful plug-in that will make a pattern 'tile-able' but other plug-ins like heal-selection.py can use it.
Not able to find a script / plugin? In the Help -> Plug-in Browser type part of the name in the search box and usually you can find the location in the menu structure. So while heal-selection is in Filters -> Enhance Resynthesizer is in Filters -> Map
Confusing? You soon get the hang of things.
