GIMP Plugin Registry

This script simulates Orton slide sandwich technique (mixing blurry and sharp versions of the original image).

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

This is a series of Script-Fus 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.

This script (originally by Iccii) implements the effects: add border, bevel and emboss, color overlay, drop shadow, gradient overlay, inner glow, inner shadow, outer glow, pattern overlay, satin.

It works when applied on a (transparent) layer or on a textlayer, but not on the background-layer . The layers are linked so the object can be moved around.

The latest version is tested on GIMP 2.4.
