I know there are some plugins for @[email protected] - but what is the reason that @[email protected] has in 2025 still no possibility to offer RGB to CMYK options?

gimp #print #rgb #cmyk #gimplove #diy

I would have sworn I read that the developer had an agreement with the GIMP team to just put it into GIMP 3 natively.

Was I imagining things?

If you've never heard of it, it's a plugin that adds "Heal Selection" to GIMP that behaves a lot like the same feature in Photoshop. It's a killer feature! It can also "Heal Transparency", and the plug-in itself can be run manually with many more options. It works really well.

Here's the discussion I found about getting it to work in GIMP 3 under Windows: https://discuss.pixls.us/t/need-help-installing-resynthesizer-plug-in-for-gimp-3-0-in-windows-10/49019/2

In short, the files go into your app settings GIMP folder. The exe goes into "plug-ins" inside a sub-folder named the same as the exe (minus the .exe part), so; plug-ins/resynthesize/resynthesize.exe, and the scm files go loose inside scripts. The scripts will appear in GIMP under Filters/Resynthesize.

The developer of the Frequency Separation plugin Chuck Henrich has updated it for GIMP 3.0

It's simple and slick and works really well.

It's great to see development activity for 3.0 plugins and of course a big thanks to the developer 🥰

I guess I might be the only person on the face of the planet dependent on PhotoGIMP so this might be useful for no-one but just on the offchance...

After updating Gimp to 3 and updating photogimp too, it was for me totally and utterly broken. I don't know enough to say why, but it was. It loaded the new splash screen but when fully loaded the whole interface was the standard Gimp one and all interface tools, layouts etc were also (as far as I could tell) standard Gimp. I searched for answers but couldn't find any. Maybe this is a 'me' issue or maybe the updates are too new or maybe photogimp doesn't have enough of a userbase to notice.

So, I've ended up rolling back to gimp 2.10 and the 2020.1 version of photogimp. However, this is not a straightforward process. Here's what I had to do (assuming flatpak).

Remove all photogimp bits and pieces from $HOME/.var, $HOME/.local and most especially $HOME/.config

DO NOT uninstall Gimp itself.

Then revert gimp 3.02 to 2.10 like so:

Wasn't my fault after all. GIMP has a quick update to fix the issue for Windows users.

I tried both the "Hello, World" one, and the Goat one.

I saved the "Hello, World" one as C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\3.0\plug-ins\py3-hello-world\py3-hello-world.py as instructed. I did the same for the goat one, but named it "goat-exercise-py3". I double-checked the plug-ins folder path in Preferences, and that's one of the two.

Incidentally, the code in the two files are different in regards to initializing the plugins. The Goat one includes ".py" in the call to init, but the "Hello, World" one does not:

GimpUi.init("goat-exercise-py3.py")

 undefined

    
plug_in_binary = "py3-hello-world"
GimpUi.init(plug_in_binary)

  

I tried using the nominal shebang line

This is a patch for GIMP that makes UI look similar to Adobe Photoshop.

Draft Release Notes: https://testing.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-3.0.html

Will soon be published to Flathub

I recently started [email protected], and though my previous posts were made with PS, I've committed to using GIMP moving forward!

We'd love to have your image manipulation skills over there, so come check us out.

Just saw on Masto that Resynthesizer will be compatible with GIMP 3.0

I think this is great news. Apart from all the upgrades we'll get in 3.0, it will be an opportunity to create a buzz around GIMP. The more functional it is, the better that buzz will be :)
