Blur: Includes many different types of blur filters.This kind of filter is mainly used for adding special effects to an image, but you can also create nice patterns with it. You can easily create cubist paintings, mosaic patterns, etc.
Artistic: Includes filters to create instant artistic effects. Animation: Includes an animation player that lets you play Gimp animations and an animation filter that can optimize your animation, so that it uses much less disk space. The Filters menu includes the following submenus, which group plug-ins by function: This is because we sometimes need to exaggerate a bit so that you can really see the effects of the filter. Please note that the screen shots of the plug-in dialogs won't necessarily display the same values that we used to generate the resulting image. You may also want to visit the filter developers' home pages to get up-to-date information about the filter. In "Compiling Plug-ins" starting on page 769, you'll find some tips on how to compile plug-ins. We encourage developers to send us mail about their new or changed plug-in so that we'll have an easier job updating this chapter. You'll find that you can make your own filters quite easily, without expert knowledge of C programming or GTK+ libraries.īecause plug-ins and scripts develop rapidly in the Gimp community, this chapter can't be as up-to-date as we would like. The Script-Fu menu is similar to the Filters menu because Script-Fus can be applied as ordinary filters to your images. We are going to call these filters plug-ins, because that's what most people think of when they hear the word "plug-in". In these chapters, we will discuss the Filters menu. If you create your own plug-in, submit it to the Gimp community under the GPL license. Many Gimp users/developers have written Gimp plug-ins and made them available to the Gimp community. 
Gimp is very modular nearly every function besides the basics is done by plug-ins. By features, we mean filters, printer drivers, mail interfaces, save/write modules, etc. Gimp plug-ins are similar: They permit the user to add extra features to Gimp. When a Photoshop user thinks of plug-ins, things like Eye Candy and Kai's Power Tools come to his or her mind. A short description of how filters generally work
