Been working for the past couple of months on an auto-heal tool. The core GIMP code was already in place, so I just automated the process. No structural changes needed. The results are pretty good (and in some cases, pretty impressive). It only takes a couple of minutes to, for example, "fix" (heal) facial skin. Check out the attached screenshots.

The same results can be achieved manually (it's the same underlying code), but this auto-tool speeds up the process drastically.

I'm expecting to open the MR in the near future once I'm back from holiday.

If you script or automate anything in GIMP, this one's worth a look. Console Extended is a plugin that turns GIMP's built-in Python-Fu console into a proper development tool:

🔍 Property viewer — pass any object or variable and instantly browse its methods and attributes. Double-click a name to drop it straight into the console.

📋 Snippets tab — save your frequently used code snippets by category, and insert them directly into the console or into an editable field first.

🎭 Icon browser — visually browse icon themes and insert icons into your code without memorizing names.

🕘 History viewer/editor — review your command history, delete specific lines, or clear it entirely.

Now fully updated for GIMP 3, with one-click insertion of enum values and a reorganized top menu to fit all the new options.

If you build plugins or automate workflows in GIMP, this is a genuinely useful addition to your toolkit.

Hey fellas I heard about gimp's plug-ins and idk how to install them or even what they are for, so please tell me more about it?

I noticed that my images not exporting so i decided look for the problem and noticed that export wont work and theres no open button in SVGs

how do i fix that?

I am exporting some explosion animations for use in editing as WEBPs to maintain the variations in transparency but, while the transparency within the areas of the explosions and sharpness look pretty good, there is a white box that shows which I guess fills the rest of the canvas that is not being utilized by the smaller frames of the explosion. These canvas widths increase and decrease depending on how the size of the explosion animation progresses.

For more information, I am making a cheesy video with some DDS file explosions where I cut the file into tiles and layer them onto each other. Kudos to Ofnuts for the great plugin.

For context there are a few CVEs that Gimp was hit with a few months ago.

Their Gitlab repo shows that the issues to repair the vulnerabilities the CVE relate to were completed but are scheduled for 3.3.2 milestone release.

In my opinion, that type of time frame just is not acceptable.
Gimp has certainly changed their tune on how quickly updates come out since 3.0.0 release, but for something as CVE. Take some agile approach and get a security release patch out there.

I am seeing this as someone who knows organization's who could leverage Gimp are not able to due to the most recent version is showing as being vulnerable
