Re: [Gimp-user] resynthesizer problems

[Jim <jimssoftware gmail com>]

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
     <http://registry.gimp.org/comment/7671#comment-7671>

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.

Jim
