    In addition to FJF's suggestions, you could also try out the ImageMagick
    or GdkPixbuf plugin. The gimp plugin doesn't give us access the the
    Gimp's filters, it gives you the ability to spawn the gimp on a given
    image inside your document, edit it, and then have that image magically
    replace the one you started out with.
