What is gimp-plugin-registry

gimp-plugin-registry is:

The package contains the following plugins:

• DBP (1.1.9): David’s Batch Processor A simple batch processing plugin for The Gimp - it allows the user to automatically perform operations (such as resize) on a collection of image files.
• add-filmgrain (2.8): Add Film Grain Helps adding realistic film grain to BW images.
• btn4ws (0.8.0.1): btn4ws Generates a series of buttons in three states (passive, active, pressed) with various selectable effects on them, as well as XHTML, CSS and JavaScript code for using the buttons.
• bw-simulation (1.1): Black and White Film Simulation Converts the selected layer into Black and White using the channel mixer. Tries to produce results resembling tonal qualities of film.
• cmyk-tiff-2-pdf (20090321): CMYK Tiff 2 PDF for Gimp This plugin completes the prepress workflow of using Separate+ to generate CMYK Tiff images by allowing you to convert the saved CMYK Tiff image into a PDF file.
• contact-sheet (2.16): Contact Sheet Generates a contact sheet(s) for a directory of images.
• diana-holga2 (c): Diana-Holga2 Diana/Holga Toys Cameras effect simulator.

  • Che Guevara Script: This script generates a poster like the famous Che Guevara one from Jim Fitzpatrick.
  • Cyanotype Script: This script simulates the Cyanotype printing process.
  • Difference Layer Script This script generates two difference layers from the two layers on the top. It’s similar to GIMP’s built-in Grain Extract/Merge function, but the tonal range is bigger. Now you can apply further editing and “switch on/off” the adjustment by switching the visibility of the subtractive and the additive layer. Also you can change the modification intensity by changing the intensity of these two layers.
  • Erosion Sharpen: Sharpens the image with erosion and dilation.
  • Escape Line Script: This script creates escaping lines from any point. It’s similar in function to the built-in Line-Nova Script, but much more flexible. So you can chose the center, the thickness, the angle, the length, the offset and the randomness.
  • Film Grain Script: This is yet another script which simulates the typical film grain of high ISO pictures.
  • First Photo Border Script: This script simulates the cut-off of the first picture of a film roll of cheap cameras like Lomo.
  • Lomo Script with Old Style Colors This script simulates the Lomo effect.
  • Movie 300 Script: This script simulates the color style of the movie “300”.
  • National Geographic Script: This script simulates a high quality (portrait) photo like these from the National Geographic.
  • Obama “HOPE” Script: This script generates a poster like the famous Obama “HOPE” one from Shepard Fairey.
  • Rainy Landscape Script: This script changes a dry landscape to a wet one.
  • Photochrom Script: This script simulates a photochrom image, a lithographic printing process from the 1890’s.
  • Sprocket Hole Script: This script simulates complete exposed 35mm film strips with frame numbers, lettering, overexposed sprocketholes and DX film edge barcodes.
  • Sunny Landscape Script: This script changes a rainy landscape to a sunny one.
  • Technicolor 2 Color Script: This script simulates the 2 Color Technicolor effect.
  • Technicolor 3 Color Script: This script simulates the 3 Color Technicolor effect.
  • Vintage Look Script: This script simulates a 70s vintage look.

• ez-perspective: EZ Perspective: Specialized tool for easily correcting or changing perspective.
• fix-ca (3.0.2): Fix-CA Corrects chromatic aberration in photos
• gimp-fx-foundry (r111): GIMP FX Foundry Probably the largest script collection available for The GIMP.

• openraster (20110529-1d32622): OpenRaster load/save handler OpenRaster is an effort by the Create project[1] to offer a standardized and open interchange format for raster-based applications. This plugin allows one to load and save files in the OpenRaster format.
• planet-render (1-2): Planet Render Creates a planet. Color, size and sun orientation can be set.
• resynthesizer (2.0.3): Resynthesizer Gimp plugin for texture synthesis This gimp plugin takes samples of textures, and synthesizes larger textures from them. It can be used to extend textures (including making tileable textures), remove objects from textures, and make themed images.
• safe-for-web (0.29.0): Save for Web Allows to experiment with various popular web format options. It shows an automatically updated preview and file size statistics.
• separate+ (0.5.8): Separate+ Separate+ is a plug-in that generates color separations from an RGB image, proofs CMYK colors on the monitor and exports the CMYK TIFF file.
• smart-seperate-sharpen (2.8): Smart Seperate Sharpening This script implements a new version of smart sharpening (redux) combined with separate sharpen to give better results. You can find more about Smart Sharpening at http://www.gimpguru.org/Tutorials/SmartSharpening2/
• streak (0.6): Streak-Camera simulation A streak camera images an object through a slit - thus getting a “one dimensional image”. This image is propagated along the second dimension of the image plane at a constant speed. The result is a picture of the time dependency of the object.
• traditional-orton: Traditional Orton: This is an effect invented by Michael Orton in the 1990s, which consists of taking two copies of an image, one blurred, and one sharp, and mixing them to produce an image with a dreamy quality. It is especially well suited to landscape and flower photography.

It has a user interface to adjust the amount of denoising applied. The wavelet nature of the algorithm makes the processing quite fast.
