In this video, I go over my 9 favorite plugins that I think every GIMP user should have in their toolkit in 2022. These are the top plugins that I've come across when using GIMP for photo editing or graphic design over my 10+ years experience. Plus, I cover custom GIMP add-ons that also extend your GIMP through new features and assets like fonts or brushes.
From G'MIC to Resynthesizer, Simplify to PhotoGIMP, GIMPainter to BIMP, I cover all your favorite plugins and MORE. I discuss what I love about these plugins and also guide you to my tutorials that teach them or show you how to install them. This is a great start for beginners looking to add more features to their GIMP.

Hi there I was wondering, since Microsoft got rid of their Image Composite Editor (their panorama stich program,) they give the option of a plugin called Photosynth Plug-in for Photoshop (32-bit and 64-bit). Can this be used in Gimp? I really need an easy to use scan and stitch program, user friendly for scanning my large artwork canvases. I always used ICE, however I cannot clear the cache in it and it causes problems so I am looking for something in GIMP. The ones you taught about previously are a bit much to do manually for me. Wonder if you know anything about this Photosynth. Thanks

You can use the free Hugin plugin, which works with GIMP. I don't particularly love the plugin as it's not intuitive to use, but I do have a tutorial on how to use it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rq2hfq2It7PSmGg.html

Not all these addons work for Linux Mint 21. The Resynthesizer Tool is missing, as well as Luminosity and GIMPainter. However, GMIC is there (the best of all of them); the Texturize Tool works; and Darktable and RawTherapee are also available to download from the store. It seems no matter which GIMP version I use (whether it's the Software Manager's version, or the Flathub, the addons do not appear to work). Perhaps it is just me doing the wrong setup. I hope that's the case. Anyway, I just wanted to point out these problems out in case they're having issues as well. Also, yes, because of the frustrations, I'm using Software Manager's version, not the flathub. Also, there are some GIMP addons that ARE for download with their Software Manager's version. I tried the Flathub, but the addons don't work. Plus, when I have made the user interface buttons bigger, the bottom right buttons have become squished (a bug). This only happens on the Flathub version, not Software Manager's version. Please help... :(

KEVIN THORNTON's Luminosity plug-in doesn't seem to be working in linux (GIMP 2.10.18 using Kubuntu 20.04). Just added the .py file in the home/**/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/ but nothing seem to be happening. I search for the plug-in using the GIMP inbuilt Plug-in Browser but, again, there seems to be no trace of it.

I'm new to GIMP and I'm a Mac user. I'm dissatisfied with G'Mic, which I only need for FFT and IFFT. I can't find an up-to-date version for Mac OS X, and following the links from the G'Mic site, I find one version of G'Mic is bundled with a very much out-of-date version Gimp (called "McGimp") and another is unstable and crashes. Additionally, the Fourier plug-in GUI has no way of specifying whether you want FFT or IFFT, but instead relies on some magic to know what the user wants. This magic fails more often than not, so that instead of getting an IFFT it just produces garbage. G'Mic may work fine on Windows and Linux, but it's a real disappointment on Macs.
