Resynthesizer has not been updated much, but there is a later version than the
one you downloaded.

I bundled 32 and 64 bit version + the python plugins some time ago. Guessing you
will use the 64 bit version. You can get them here:

There is also that link + a short video on usage here:

3 minutes duration. I really advise looking at it at least once.

Back to your problem tiff. Made with PS CS5 - 18509x11441 pixels, ppi set at 300
(for printing) 8 bit

but, always a but...

It is in indexed mode. Gimp 2.8.22 will open it in Win 10. There will be error
messages about invalid TIFF tags. When the image finally opens. Go to Image ->
Mode and check RGB rather than Indexed.

Make your selection (and you did not say how large that is) invoke
heal-selection, set your parameters, Ok it and wait.

The screenshots are in a Win10 virtual machine with **very limited** resources,
so should be no problem in a reasonable computer.

It might still fail for various reasons, too large a selection, too much pixel
border. If it does there will be some other way. Gimp always has,
'some-other-way'. You need to give details.

You can save the file in Gimp .xcf format if you need to do more work on it.
Exporting, .png while compressed is a lossless format,  If worried about quality
use that.
