Layer Effects in GIMP
So, after a short discussion with Korash, (and a quick search of the forum), I realized that not everybody may know about Layer effects in GIMP. I downloaded version 2.6.4 just over two months ago, I think. Korash said he had version 2.6.3 and did not have layer effects. From what I've gathered, the effects still do not quite stand up to Photo-Shop's, but I've made use of a few, and found them really handy. Below is a screen-shot displaying the menu. To my recollection, this list did not change after I downloaded Photo-Shop plugins, whose menu appears in a different place.
It never occured to me that earlier versions did not have these, or I'd have said something sooner. I feel compelled to repeat, these are not the same as photo-shop layer-effects (as I am still unable to follow exact instructions from Photo-Shop geared tuts..., ok, that might be a personal failure), but may close to approximating them.
