Inner Bevel Assistance Needed... [Never Mind]

GIMP Version: 2.8.10 Dah
Operating System: Win7 Whatever
GIMP Experience: Undetermined At This Time

As some of you may know, I'm working on a GC t-shirt graphic. My issue is that I don't have enough RAM on my system to make the inner bevel on the text.

Is there someone willing, that knows how to use the bevel and emboss filter, who would be able to do this for me?

The file is quite large and can't be uploaded here, so I'll have to provide a suitable download link. To anyone willing to do this for me.

I would be willing Wallace but I would be afraid of screwing it up.

Really, all you need to know is how to use the filter and of course have enough RAM, or at least more then what I have to make this happen.
If you're will to do it, I'll give you more details in a PM.
It's very simple, nothing crazy. Just run the filter with default setting and BAM!!!!

YES

Here goes...

I selected the portion of the text I wanted to add the inner bevel to, which was yellow and copied it. I then created a new document, the same size as the original one and pasted that portion of the copied text into it. Then closed my original image, leaving the copied portion of the text as my new document.

Doing an auto-crop on this new document, made the image much smaller than the original image, which reduced it's footprint. Making it easier to then run the inner bevel I needed for my text.

Once that was done, I saved and closed this image. Then opened the original image and opened the former inner beveled text image as a layer, positioning it where it needed to be, and BAM!!!
Done.
Which took me about 5 minutes to accomplish.

That's Gimp know how for ya... :cool
