Please see my updated video that contains a much more simple way to install the Resynthesizer plugin: ruclips.net/video/iU4HRAkZ1-U/видео.html
I lived a problem to adding plugin part but after watching your videos, everything is went smoothly. Love it man!
Matt thank you so much. Prefect! It works.
Thank you very much this was very helpful!
Tanks for your help. Your movie is much useful.
you saved my weekend, thank you so much
The weekend is just starting my dude! Cheers!
Thanks man, I was wondering If I would ever succeed to make it work !
Very good thanks!
I found it much easier to use the clone tool rather than downloading and installing the Brew software. Thanks for the tutorial!
Hi @Indigenous Pathways, just wanted to let you know that I just posted a new video that walks you through installing the Resynthesizer plugin without installing the Brew software. Here's a link to it if you'd like to take a look, it's a much more simple installation: ruclips.net/video/iU4HRAkZ1-U/видео.html
Cheers!
This is a fairly honest video of the horribleness of the GIMP experience, you spend 12 minutes trying to fix and install a plugin and the last 6 actually using it.
Figured out. it requires to locate libintl.8 file, and run ln command in that directory.
I'm having the same issue with Windows. Does anyone have a fix for Windows 10.
Great tutorial, sadly didn't work for me since I'm still using High Sierra on my old Macbook Pro early 2011 🤣 I'll have to keep using photopea just because of this feature :( stupid error lol
Also, you're cute 😉
Hi @GraceDcastle! I apologize for the super late response, but if you're still having issues, I've made a new video that might fix things for you: ruclips.net/video/iU4HRAkZ1-U/видео.html
I haven't personally tested it on High Sierra, but it's worth a try!
(And thank you for the compliment 😉)
@@mattpopovich thanks! I'll give it a try whenever I get some free time
I had difficult to make it work on my new MacBook Pro with zsh shell. After install homebrew, update upgrade, I can not find libintl.8, please help.

Hi, i have Gimp 2.10.30 on Mac OSX Monterey and there is no plugins folder...
there is a folder, its just hidden
I've downloaded and placed the files into GIMP, but I still can't find the "heal" option under Filters -> Enhance. Not sure what the issue is since I can see the downloaded files inside the correct folder
Hi Spencer! I apologize for the late response. Any luck? Make sure to quit GIMP and reopen it so that it can rescan for new plugins. And make sure that you move all the files into /Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins
I've made a new video here that should make things easier on you: ruclips.net/video/iU4HRAkZ1-U/видео.html
Let me know if you're still having issues!
Hi - I'm on an M1 mac. I seem to be stuck like many others in the comments. I get the "procedure not found" error, tried the solutions you suggest, and couldn't get it to work. I did the whole brew download and installation, but still not working. When I try change to /usr/local/lib, I get a "no such file or directory" error.
Please help!
Thanks!!
Hi Jim! I'm working on an updated video for the folks that were having issues with this. Before I publish it, let's see if it will help you.
If you don't have /usr/local/lib, that sounds like brew did not install. But that's ok as my new fix does not need brew.
In terminal, run (the dollar sign denotes that this is a terminal command)
$ cd /Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/Resources/lib
This should get us into our GIMP application's library folder.
Then, let's see which libintl library it has
$ ls -lah libintl*
If yours only shows "libintl.8.dylib", we can try to make another symbolic link here to see if that fixes things. If it already shows libintl.9.dylib, don't run the next command.
$ ln -s libintl.8.dylib libintl.9.dylib
Quit GIMP, then restart it.
Let me know if that works. If not, let me know what the three commands give as output and let me know what error GIMP gives you when you try to run the resynthesizer plugin.
Thanks for your feedback!
Hi again @Jim Baldinger. If you're still having issues, I've made a new video that further explains the comment I sent you: ruclips.net/video/iU4HRAkZ1-U/видео.html

Any help for "zsh: no matches found: libintl*" ? I've uninstalled and reinstalled brew but no luck. Thanks

When I try to move the files into the plug in folder it doesn't let me. Any fixes?
Does it give an error? Make sure you are trying to move them to /Applications/GIMP-2.10.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins
hey matt , i did not have any /usr/local/lib to begin with so i created it . but there are no matches found for libintl . what should i do to fix that?

@@mattpopovich thanks a lot man🤗 well my problem has been resolved. All thanks to you
I tried doing everything on the video but nothing worked because I had libintl.9
What I did to get the Resynthesizer to work was to run this command
brew reinstall gettext
Then install the plug-in normally just like in the vid
Thanks for the feedback, Outter!
After inputting the command
ln -s libintl.8.dylib libintl.9.dylib
I just get "file exists" and nothing else happens. When I searched for other dynamic libraries 8 and 9 popped up, yet the resynthesizer still doesn't work. I feel like this is the closest I'll be getting to get my heal selection back. Please help!
What error are you getting? If you run
ls -lah libintl*
does it show you that libintl.9.dylib points to libintl.8.dylib?
@@mattpopovich I tried out that command, and the first line reads
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 15B Mar 15 15:02 libintl.8.dylib -> libintl.8.dylib
and the second line is
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 15B Mar 14 10:38 libintl.9.dylib -> libintl.8.dylib
Is this right? I'm not an expert with terminal, but this is what I got when I ran "ls -lah libintl*" after "cd /usr/local/lib"
Also, can we take this to private messages somewhere? I feel like this could take a while... thanks for responding though
@@stickos9398 Hmm... It looks like libintl.9 points to libintl.8, which is what we want. But libintl.8 just points to itself instead of the actual dynamic library. I have an idea we can try and if this doesn't work, we can take the conversation elsewhere.
libintl.8 points to /usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.21/lib/libintl.8.dylib for me. Let's see if you have that file. Run
ls /usr/local/Cellar/gettext/*/lib/libintl.8*
And tell me what it outputs. Mine gives /usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.21/lib/libintl.8.dylib, hopefully yours is similar.
@@mattpopovich When I put
ls /usr/local/Cellar/gettext/*/lib/libintl.8*
into terminal it gave me
zsh: no matches found: /usr/local/Cellar/gettext/*/lib/libintl.8*
Dang, okay. Let's debug this. Are you familiar with Discord? I set up a server here that you can join for us to discuss: discord.gg/Vt4NgHjg
For anyone following along, I'll post a solution to this issue once it is found!
I've gotten resynthisizer installed but when trying to fx the error after first using the heal tool I get stuck at
cd /usr/local/lib
because it says it does not exist. I have brew and it's been updated and upgraded and states I'm all up to date so I'm unsure of what to do to move on to creating the symbolic link. After looking around and trying to problem solve this I still haven't gotten far. Does it change anything that I'm running the M1 chip? I'm definitely not very experienced in coding or building but am trying to get GIMP up and running as my main photo editor.
same here, any solution to this?

I followed all of your instructions. Homebrew is installed and updated. The Resynthesizer files are in their proper place. I ran the "ln -s libintl.8.dylib libintl.9.dylib" line and it went through. However, I am STILL getting the same errors in GIMP when I want to use the resythesizer tool: "An error occurred running python_fu_heal_selection, error: procedure not found" and "Calling error for procedure 'gimp-procedural-db-proc-info': Procedure 'plug-in-resynthesizer' not found". I copied "ls libintl*" into my terminal and I only see one file: "libintl.9.dylib". What am I doing wrong?? I really want to get this to work. Thank you.
Hi Catherine! Thanks for watching. If you click your apple logo in the top left, then go to "About this Mac", what does it give you? Ex. macOS Big Sur, Version 11.6.3, MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014) is what mine has.
@@mattpopovich I figured it out. I needed to reinstall gettext by typing "brew reinstall gettext". Now it works! I am running Big Sur 11.6.4 on an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) What else does the resythesizer tool do? Just the erase feature you have in your video? Thank you! :)
@@CFME44 Fantastic! And thank you for sharing your solution for others. I, personally, have only used the Resynthesizer plugin for the "Heal Selection" capability, but there are a few others available that come with this plugin: github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer/wiki/Quick-user's-guide-to-the-Resynthesizer-plugins-for-GIMP

@@jzk417 Found a solution. basically it's the same logic as the suggested step, but instead of creating a symbolic link in /usr/local/lib, you do it in the app package. so
cd /applications/gimp-2.10.app/Contents/resources/lib
ln -s libintl.8.dylib libintl.9.dylib

The brew got installed and as I'm typing in brew update it says I'm up to date. I'm running the program you adviced in your vid i.e. Werner E. yet I'm unable to use the tool. It even says the file exsists?
zcugge@MBPsomtorD ~ % cd /usr/local/lib
