[Gimp-user] drop shadow
When I use the drop-shadow filter, I see the checkerboard around the image -- not a drop shadow. I've tried changing the background, tried duplicating the layer and working on that. I've also looked through some tutorials which are well-written and clear and it looks so easy -- can someone tell me what I'm missing?

Hi Helen, Helen wrote: When I use the drop-shadow filter, I see the checkerboard around the image -- not a drop shadow. Are you trying to make a drop shadow for an object against a transparent background? At least it sounds like this to me. (Otherwise, you don't get the checkerboard pattern.) I've experienced that in this case the drop shadow isn't easy to notice. I usually create a temporary white layer to see the effect, and then delete this layer again. (You will have to move this white layer to the bottom first). I'm hoping that my description is of some help.

[Gimp-user] drop shadow text
I have on my desk The Basics tutorial By JTL dated 2002. Is there a newer and easier way to create three dimensional text with a drop shadow? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

Is there a newer and easier way to create three dimensional text with a drop shadow? there was at one time a script-fu that seemed to be based solely on the tutorial. i remember it because it made the shadows too dark for my tastes and the transparency percentage was hardcoded into the script. i cannot remember the name of the script and i do not know if GIMP still contains this. it would be easy enough to write though. carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Drop Shadow question
06252006 1409 GMT-6 Im using 2.28 and trying to use the Python-Fu Effects Drop Shadow. I thought it was droping black because that was the foreground color but after changing the color - its still black. Is this ONLY available in black? wade ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

(Google up 'AlphaImageLoader') If I remember right there is also a CSS file called IE7 which you can add into your webpage to fix a lot of the problems with IE, mostly CSS, but it might (might!) also fix alpha blended PNG issues. alan ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
