Resynthesizer can be really confusing. It sounds like you are having the same problems others have seen, and that I experienced also. I wrote up a tutorial that may be what you need. It's on the plug-in site. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll look it up for you.

It shows up in the filters/map/resynthesize menu but when I tested it out by selecting an object in a jpeg, little happened, other than some very minor
changes to the area selected. I tried changing various parameters but was unsuccessful. I also tried the heal selection but that just bring up the old 'heal brush' as it has in the past.

Am I missing something ?

Don't use resynthesizer directly. Use the "heal selection" menu item from Filters -> Enhance -> Heal Selection.

Sorry, in that case, you have to post the image that you are working with, what you are trying to do, and what you are expecting to see.

Frank,

When you start Gimp, you don't see a menu item called Filters? If not, your installation is defective. Also, if you don't see "heal selection", you don't have python installed in your Gimp installation.

Hope this helps.

If you are looking to use resynthesizer the way others and I were, and having trouble, I responded to another post a couple days ago after searching for and finding the steps I posted on the gimp plugin site. The conversation took place offline, but I'm sending it to the list in case it can help anyone else. I realize this may be a solution to a different problem, but it does work really well in some cases. The other poster replied that he got it working with the following steps:

I found my notes in a thread on the gimp plugin site at:

http://registry.gimp.org/node/24243

begin paste from link:

OK - This works for me

I think I found the combination that I found before I lost all my notes when my system / hard drives crashed.

1. Select a RECTANGULAR area you want to take the sample from. This is NOT the texture source sample and my notes do not cover textures.

2. "edit->copy"

3. "edit->paste as->new image"

4. Switch to the new image.

5. Go to the layers window

6. Remove the alpha layer - The critical piece

7. Go back to the image you are editing. Select a target area you want to fill with the sample from step 1.

8. Now "filters->map->resynthesize" should allow you to select the newly created source image.

This works on SuSE Linux 11.1 with resynthesize v. 0.16-1.2

end paste

I don't know if this addresses your problem, but it's helped a lot of people trying to do what I was trying to do, that is, to fill in a selected area with a sample re-synthesized graphic.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I 'm new to GIMP and I'm getting some trouble with the resynthesizer tool. My end goal is to remove the subject of this image. I have used resynthesizer to remove objects that lies on a single color background. This image, however, lies on a background with multiple colors and I'm having lots of difficulties removing the object. Please, any assistance would most definitely be appreciated. I've attached the image to this message.

Sincerely, Dasa_108

The image seems to be that of a person. Are you trying to remove that person? In other words, you only want the background? I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do.

Thanks, Partha

Hi Partha,

I'm trying to remove the person and remain with the background. Thanks for taking your time to assist me. It's really appreciated.

Sorry, this completely slipped off my radar. :(

Anyway, what you are trying to do is theoretically possible but probably not the right use of "heal selection". Select the region you wish to "heal", go to Filter > Enhance > Heal Selection. Choose pixels from the side and go inward from the outside. Continue doing this till you have eliminated the unwanted parts.

Usually you are trying to remove a small part of the image (light pole perhaps, someone's arm in your image, etc.) and so you can fill in the region with random pixels from around the location. Here, you are trying to remove most of the image and so your best bet would be start at the top and carefully use pixels from above etc.

Finally make sure that the light source remains intact, or the background would look strange. Your image light source is from the right I think.
