Hi

Could anyone tell me if there is any way to use .asl files in Gimp?

I don't think you can. They are photoshop files.

Because they are particularly mostly styles for the Layer Styles filter, they would never work in Gimp correctly.

No you cannot use ASL files, but you can use ATN files if you have the plug-in.

Note: If you dl the windows version you need to rename the file from .e-x-e to .exe
You will also have to rename the file gimp-2.6 in the bin folder to gimp-2.4, then install the program and rename gimp back to gimp-2.6 or Gimp will not start.
The Gimp# program see's the program as a version other than 2.4 this is the reason for the rename.
Just be sure and name it back to gimp-2.6 after!
Most ATN files work with it, but not all because they also sometimes use the Layer Styles plugin for PS.

There is a action set you can download from the same website.
