Hi guys, any chance of a 'the dummies guide' tut for using this script, say basic framing? - in Peace RJKD

Did you see the support thread for this script? See if this helps.
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11073

from the script preliminary introduction:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This script takes origin from the Gimp-chat topic KDE4/Aero Blur Effect.
The main and simple purpose of this script is:
- let the user perform his/her selection(s) (if not, a default selection is applied by the script)
- create on the remaining part of the image a glass effect, with different glass aspects
- leave selection(s) untouched, so that they look like through "holes" in the glass

Flow implemented to get the final result:

1. check whether the user did a selection: if not make one (a rounded rectangle)
2. duplicate the input layer
3. apply the chosen effect on the non-selected part of the image
4. duplicate again the original layer
5. apply on the non-selected part of the image a colour derived from the average (RobA script)
6. apply a bevelling effect (if so chosen by the user)
7. flatten the image (if so chosen by the user)

Hence, to use it for the first time:
- open an image
- run as per defaults

Next step: make your own selection before calling the script (form of the selection is up to the user)

Last step: select different glass type from the available ones

Enjoy (hopefully....)

examples:

defaults


changed selection


changed selection, changed effect

..and again



you may play with the various effects and see which one you do like

Got it guys - thanx, in Peace RJKD
