About Texture Synthesizer

Texture Synthesizer is the GIMP Resynthesizer Plugin Suite, a set of third-party plugins for the GIMP image editor. It includes a library implementing the resynthesizer algorithm for texture transfer among images, and plugins that use the algorithm in GIMP.

The plugins do not come with GIMP and require separate installation. Resynthesizer 3.0.1 is compatible with GIMP 3.0 or later, while the master branch for the GIMP 2.0 API is essentially frozen. An MS Windows build is not tested and not in the repository.
