In a nutshell this entire thread is to provide resources for the co-plugins that ship with my layer effects engine (GEGL Effects) and similar plugins that don't ship with it. The discussion here is layer effects on individual layers; as opposed to applying all effects on one layer. Attached is a guide and downloads to plugins.

Hello, this is a resource page listing GEGL/Gimp plugins of mine that apply text styling effects on individual layers. In example,the outline and shadow are both layers of their own as opposed to
being applied all at once in the same layer. Another example is a bevel as a "bump map" layer that is fused with a blend mode on plain text to generate its effect. This is NOT the case with
my GEGL Effects layer effects engine that applies all effects in one layer.
--Every plugin I listed below is included in this download, and you can see its Github page of origin--
Bevel (ships with GEGL effects)
Generates a bevel bump map that should blend with a layer below it. Try blend modes like Grain Merge,
and Hard light, Multiply and the opacity meter for optimal results.
Inner Glow (ships with GEGL effects)
Generates an Inner drop shadow that replaces the original image, put it on a layer on top. Try many
blend modes with it. Grain Merge with tropical colors look nice.
Glass Over Text (ships with GEGL effects)
Generates a shine effects from the brightest pixels of a special emboss. This goes on the top layer.
This works best with the normal blend mode, but don’t be afraid to try others.
LINK TO ALL FOUR EFFECTS ABOVE HERE.

GEGL SSG -stands for “stroke shadow glow”
A knock out original image version of Gimp’s drop shadow filter that starts as a outline. This can be put
on a layer above or below. Normal is its default blend.
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-SSG ... /releases/Layer ShadowThis generates a drop shadow all by itself that can be moved using Gimp’s move tool. Blend it with
whatever, but normal is the default. It is not “knocked out” like SSG. It can also make a fill outline and
glow.
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Dro ... r/releasesAuraGenerate a shadow/glow with a random flame seed. This is like SSG and Inner Glow together with a
random flame generator. Normal is its default blend mode, though try others.
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Aura-/releasesIf you are using Gimp 2.10.32 all plugins will be in GEGL Operations in the drop down list.
On Gimp 2.99 they will be in the main menu under Filters>Text Styling.
If you already have an older version of GEGL Effects, this will update you to the latest verison.
If you already have any of these binaries, overwrite all of them with the latest versions.
WARNING - If you are using the experimental branch of my GEGL Layer Effects engine this will downgrade you
to the August 1st Stable build. If that is the case, only grab the binaries "outerglow" "ssg" and "layershadow"
and ignore everything else, as downloading any other binary could cause you to downgrade to the normal
version of GEGL Effects.
Download here includes binaries, a short pdf guide and the source code of all these plugins.
