plugin or filter distribution, resynthesizer

[David Revoy]

Hi lloyd,
Krita and Resynthesizer user here.
Thank you for this great plugin. I'm using it since years for my
professional work.

*Now I need a little more motivation.  Is the resynthesizer something that
> Krita user’s would actually use?*


I produce artwork from scratch, and I use resynthetizer for this :

*- Bleed / print trim:*
Printers requires a 3mm or 5mm zone around artwork where they can trim the
artwork for borderless effect ( eg. on a cover ).
I used Resynthesizer many time for creating them. Resizing canvas, then
Gimp>Filter>Enhance>HealTransparancy generate them.

*- Seamless texture:*
For my textured brush, and fill tool in Krita:
Gimp>Filter>Map>Resynthetise then with both option "make horizontally
tileable" and "make vertically tileable".

*- Generating Harmonious Chaos:*
Sometime, I don't like a zone of my artwork ( especially on abstract
backgrounds ). I usually select the part with the lasso tool, then apply a
little
Gimp>Filter>Enhance>HealSelection with a high sampling. Resynthetiser will
generate a zone with good colors picked from the surounding.

*- Cleaning/smoothing:*
Gimp>Filter>Enhance>HealSelection can clean/smooth many issue in a artwork.
Especially with combining it with a little lasso selection, and
Ctrl+F to redo the last filter. This way, When a publisher wasn't happy
with a character or an element in my illustrations, I could remove them
quickly.

*- 3D UVTexture:*
I'm working recently on my Blender 3D skill, and I use also
Gimp>Filter>Enhance>HealTransparancy
to thicken the borders of islands of a UV Texture.

I hope I'll see the Resynthesizer port in Krita in a near future. :-)
-David
