You ve probably already used lots of GIMP plug-ins: nearly everything in the Filters menu is a plug-in. About half of the Colors menu and most of the Xtns menu in the Toolbox are also plug-ins. The Plug-In Browser How do you know which plug-ins you already have installed? With the Plug-In Browser (Figure 11-1), accessed through the Toolbox menu: Xtns . Plug-In Browser…. Figure 11-1. The Plug-In Browser Yikes there are a lot of plug-ins! Bet you didn t know you had that many installed. Fortunately, there s a Search field. Type in a search term, such as crop (or even part of a term, like rop), and GIMP will show you only plug-ins that contain that term. The Plug-In Browser is a good way of finding functionality without searching through all the menus. If you re pretty sure that there s some sort of automatic crop function, click on the Tree View tab and enter crop in the Search field. All plug-ins that include the name crop will come up in the menu, and you can see where they are in the menu structure, as in Figure 11-2.
