resynthesizer

"Porting to GIMP 3 is in progress. The "resynthesizer3" branch is ready for initial trials with GIMP 3.0rc2. Porting of plugins from GIMP 2 to 3 is not complete. Testing is not complete. An MS Windows build is not tested and not in the repo." https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer

I was a happy user of this plugin and would still recommend it, as it is indeed easier to use. The problem is that I ran into a bug [1] that would break the rest of my Gimp install. Note that the plan to resolve it is "convert the resynthesizer plugins from Python 2 to Python 3" but AFAIK this hasn't happened yet. This bug occurs in one computer but not in the other. And once I discovered G'mic I honestly lost the drive to dig deeper into why this happens. [1] https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer/issues/88

Why not use the resynthesizer plugin? https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer I haven't used it for a while because stable diffusion is much more powerful, but resynthesizer is pretty good for many kinds of uses.

I have an old wacom tablet, so its painting masks mostly. back in the early days, I did all the things that photoshop 6 could do. Along with a brilliant plugin called resynthesiser[1] which I am horrified to find out is 23 years old. I've never really used the scripting functions apart from applying global effects. Nowadays I use it until I need illustrator hard enough to move to the mac downstairs. but most of my photo editing is now done in lightroom. [1]https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer

There has been a GIMP plugin for this for a long time - no idea how the quality compares to Photoshop's content aware fill though: https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer
