A library implementing the "resynthesizer" algorithm for texture transfer among images.

And a suite of plugins, that use the algorithm, for the GIMP image processing application. The plugins do not come with GIMP, they are "third-party" plugins.

Paul Harrison had the original idea and implementation. He did the hard work, took the leap of faith and experimented with a new algorithm. His website has many examples of using the Resynthesizer, links to an explanation of the algorithm, and other cool ideas.

I fixed a few bugs (due to changes in GIMP), rewrote the Scheme plugins into Python, wrote a few plugins, made it better deal with alpha (transparency), threaded it, and made it into a reentrant library in C.

Rob Antonishen contributed the basis for one plugin. Several people have helped with the build process and with translations.
