GIMP's Resynthesizer Plugin for Mac on ARM (Apple Silicon)

bootchk's resynthesizer plugin is not terribly easy to install and use on a Mac. This repo hopes to make it easier.

Special thanks to:

• aferrero2707 for the original Mac port: gimp-plugins-collection
• pietvo, the maintainer of MacPorts' gimp-resynthesizer.
• wuguipeng's gimp-resynthesizer-mac-arm64 for the inspiration

Install GIMP

The resynthesizer plug-in is for GIMP, so you won't be able to use it... without installing GIMP. Download GIMP's installer here. You can find older GIMP versions here: 2.10.x, 3.0.x.

Install the Resynthesizer Plugin with Pre-Built Libraries (easiest)

Go to the releases of this repo and follow the installation instructions for the version of GIMP that you have installed.

Note that these files are compiled for macOS computers running ARM (Apple Silicon = M1, M2, etc.) processors. They will not work on macOS computers with Intel processors or any Windows or Linux machines.

Building (and installing) the Resynthesizer Plugin via MacPorts (more difficult)

You can also install the resynthesizer plugin via MacPorts if you would like to build from source. It will take a little bit longer + could be more difficult (to build) and require some more hard drive space (libraries) but this is a perfectly valid solution as well. See BuildingResynthesizerViaMacPorts.md for more information on the difficulties I had and their solutions.
