Image Editor Plus earns its place in the superhive library by pulling common image edits into Blender's UV/Image Editor, from color curves and replace color to a make-seamless filter and a height-map-based normal map generator. It's open source under GPL, holds a 5-star rating across 11 reviews, and has seen 300+ sales.
Image Editor Plus is a Blender add-on that adds image editing directly inside the UV/Image Editor. It handles cut, copy and paste, clear and fill, crop, flip and rotate, canvas size and offset, along with color work such as hue/saturation, brightness/contrast, gamma, color curve and replace color. These operations run on packed or unpacked images and reflect in the 3D model view immediately, so texture changes stay inside Blender rather than routing through Photoshop or GIMP.
You can make a rectangle selection to target a specific area, then copy or paste a selection or the whole image. Pasted images appear as layers that can be moved, rotated or scaled; to show them in the 3D View, an Image Layers Node is used in place of the built-in Texture Node.
Filters cover blur, sharpen, add noise, pixelize (mosaic), make seamless and normal map. The make seamless filter helps produce tileable images, and the normal map generator converts a height map — black for low, white for high — into a normal map. Text editing is available separately as the Image Editor+ Text Tool. The add-on supports Blender 4.2 through 5.0 and is distributed under a GPL license.
Image Editor Plus is best for blender users who want quick image and texture edits — color tweaks, filters, seamless tiling and normal maps — without leaving Blender for an external editor.
Image Editor Plus is completely free to download and use.
Image Editor Plus is compatible with Blender versions 4.2 through 5.0. It works inside the UV/Image Editor, extending that space with editing operations rather than relying on an external application. If you run a Blender release within that range, the add-on's tools for clearing, filling, cropping, color adjustment and filtering are available. The source code is also published under a GPL license, so you can review it or build it from the developer's repository if you want to check behaviour against your specific version.
Image Editor Plus can apply its operations to both packed and unpacked images, and the results reflect in the 3D model view immediately. You can make a rectangle selection to edit a specific area, or work on the whole image. Copying and pasting a selection or an entire image is straightforward, and pasted images appear as layers that can be moved, rotated or scaled. This keeps texture edits inside Blender rather than moving files out to Photoshop or GIMP and back.
Image Editor Plus displays pasted images as layers, which can be moved, rotated or scaled within the editor. To show those pasted layers in the 3D View, you need to use an Image Layers Node instead of the built-in Texture Node. Without that node, the pasted layers won't appear on the model. Keeping pastes as layers means each one remains movable, rotatable and scalable in the UV/Image Editor, and the Image Layers Node is what lets those layers display on your 3D model.
Image Editor Plus focuses on image operations such as clearing, filling, cropping, color adjustment and filters. Text editing is not part of this add-on; it is provided separately as the Image Editor+ Text Tool. So if you need to add or edit text on an image, you would install that companion add-on alongside this one. For everything else — selections, layers, color curves, replace color, make seamless and the normal map generator — Image Editor Plus handles it directly in the UV/Image Editor.
Image Editor Plus is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under a GPL license with its source code available from the developer's repository. Licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page for the current details before you rely on them. Being GPL also means you can inspect how the operations and filters are implemented if you want to understand or modify the add-on's behaviour before using it in your projects.
