## How to remove unwanted objects from photos inside GIMP with Gimp Openfill

Repo: [beckettharriman/gimp-openfill](https://github.com/beckettharriman/gimp-openfill) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 1 hour | Basis: From the README

Select an object and let OpenFill paint it out with a local Stable Diffusion model.

**Who it is for:** A photographer who left Photoshop but still needs quick object removal.

**The problem:** GIMP has no built-in AI object removal.

**The outcome:** Clean photos edited without uploading anything.

### Steps

1. Install ComfyUI and the plug-in (on Windows run `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1`)
2. Open the photo in GIMP 3 and select the object
3. Run OpenFill object removal
4. Review and touch up the result

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
With beckettharriman/gimp-openfill installed, remove <object> from <photo> in GIMP 3 and save the result. Confirm ComfyUI ran locally and no network upload happened.
```

### Caveat

It is a beta; the README says most rough edges are in what the models draw.

Repo: [beckettharriman/gimp-openfill](https://github.com/beckettharriman/gimp-openfill) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Select an area, type a prompt, and get generated content blended into the image.

### Steps

3. Enter a prompt in OpenFill's generative fill
4. Pick the best variation

### Prompt to paste into your agent

## How to expand a photo's canvas with generated scenery with Gimp Openfill

Repo: [beckettharriman/gimp-openfill](https://github.com/beckettharriman/gimp-openfill) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Use Generative Expand to grow the canvas and fill new borders to match the scene.

**Who it is for:** A social media manager who needs a landscape crop from a portrait photo.

**The problem:** Changing aspect ratio usually means cropping important content.

**The outcome:** A wider image with generated edges that match the original.

### Steps

1. On macOS or Linux set up ComfyUI in a venv and run `sh install.sh --comfy-dir ~/ComfyUI`
2. Open the image and enlarge the canvas
3. Run Generative Expand
4. Export at the new size

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Expand <image> to <aspect ratio> with OpenFill's Generative Expand in GIMP and export it. Check the seams for visible artifacts.
```

### Caveat

It has been tested end to end on Windows, Fedora Linux with a Flatpak GIMP, and an Apple M3 Mac.
