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 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:
