[Award Winner] Making Map Borders in GIMP

[Lady Lithia]

I know this thread and tutorial are old. I was following through step-by-step and doing great until the part that said to go to the Script-FU menu.... only I don't have a menu that is script FU. I found a submenu on Filters>Script-Fu but there was no bevel-and-emboss. And there was a Filter>Decor>Bevel option, but that was far simpler than the tutorial. I think I must have too new a version of GIMP? I only just downloaded it ten days ago or so. It's a fabulous tutorial though. I'm going to try to work through the missing menu and see what I can get.

The Script-FU menu item was renamed "Filters" back in version 2.6.4 or there abouts.

BUT, what you really want is the 'Bevel and Emboss" filter, which is part of the Layer Effects script package (see first page of the tutorial for downloading instructions).

Those scripts are located in the Layer menu near the bottom. i.e. Layers > Layer Effects > Bevel and Emboss..

Thank you so very much for your response. I'm loving learning here. and this tutorial is truly a marvel of instruction (and I'm a teacher!). I'll do what I can to follow fully.
