Poor chickens... there must be at least six in that one.
I'm going to rate all Robs scripts now in sacrificial chicken units (SCU)
Was going to mention that with image magick theres some 'Gel' effects that you can use to make buttons and stuff like this.

Indeed. I guess you can't make an awesome script without sacrificing a few chickens!Originally Posted by Redrobes

Me... I have no chicken farm

Sorry-
Forgot to mention the Token script needs a solid shape with transparency as a template.

Thanks a TON Rob. One question, the outer glow, can that be an optional step? I have a ton of images to do, and if it's easy to script would rather not have to go turn off the layer on each one before I save out to png.
I watched the script run on the satin process and that was wicked cool as the thing just kind of warped itself.... If you can find some more time, I would love to see something more detailed on how to (or if there is a GIMP tutorial out there that you can point me to). I know it's not useful for mapping, but that satin effect is SWEET.

I updated the script on the previous page. If you set the glow size to 0 it doesn't create the glow layer.
I also added an angle, so you can set the angle the highlight will be on. The default is 90 (North).
The satin technique is derived from this photoshop tutorial.

Off topic but I have to say that I love the SCU idea. Laughed so hard I pulled something.
