Thanks lylejk!

don't try more than 16 layers of colors though as 16 layers takes less than 5 minutes closer to 3 minutes to multiple shadows on a 500x500 about there image.
32 layers took 1 hr 4 minutes

I really like the effect of the top image.

Mine will run and paste all 16 colored layers but then it quits. The selection is there but the filter closes.
I do have multiple shadows installed.

Windows 10 64 bit with GIMP-2.8.16 64 bit.

OH duh! Supposed to run the shadows script on the selection then? LOL :hit

Its similar to a cutout effect.

I like it.

yep just run multiple shadows script after running stack layers by colors.
you don't have to have a selection or anything, it selects none at the beginning anyways.

Hey Tran; is there any way to add a reverse layer order feature (did this manually for the result below)? Anyway, again, pretty darn cool python plugin.

Added version 2.
With reverse flag to allow user to have from Dark to Light colors

Thanks a heap, Tran. Using Polygonize (Delauney) before your preset (reverse enabled) gives you a pretty darn cool paper cutout simulation. Used my extracted tithonia flower for this. Of course I added some contrast enhancements using G'MIC as well and blended in a paper texture.
