This Shadow&Highlight script does a decent job of lightening shadows and/or darken highlights in photographs. The UI gives you five control sliders. Two for control of the Shadow and Highlight amount (opacity), two for the tonal width of each contrast mask layer (using gamma), and one for the blur radius of the masks. Plus the option to flatten visible layers when done.  read more »

Turn a boring flat image into a stylish 3D-shadowed-glowing one.

This is a series of scripts that implement various layer effects:

• Drop Shadow
• Inner Shadow
• Outer Glow
• Inner Glow
• Bevel and Emboss
• Satin
• Color Overlay
• Gradient Overlay
• Pattern Overlay
• Stroke

Some effects can have contours (a.k.a. curves) and noise added to them. Effects can either be applied on a separate layer, or be merged into the active layer (which in some cases gives better results).

Tested with GIMP 2.4.2.

Updated 6/9/2009:

• Stroke now supports gradients and patterns! (Python version only)
• Better undo handling in the Python version.
• Various bugfixes.

Updated 11/15/2008:

• The Python version now has live previewing! With the "Preview" checkbox active, the preview now updates automatically every time you change a setting!
• New "Reapply Effects" function: Reapplies all effects that have been applied to the current layer. If you change anything on the layer, use this to update all the effects in one go! (Mind you, this only works for effects that were not applied using the "Merge with layer" option.)
• Various bugfixes.

Updated 09/02/2008:

• Bugfix in Script-Fu version.

• You can now scale patterns in pattern overlays. (Python version only.)

This plugin does a pretty good job of eliminating shadows and highlights in photographs. It gives you two layers that basically act like adjustment layers, and changing the opacity will alter the effect.
