Version 3 update attached to first post. I fixed the shadow blur. Default blur is now set to 20. This update should make the text pop much better.

By the way the new menu location is Rod>Alpha to Logo>Pop Out Text.

Thanks!

I think the new shadow is too heavy. I like the second version better and I've gone and overwritten it.

I really was going for the effect in version 3 though. The blur just wasn't feathered enough for me.

Thank you Rod. I like your script.

Would anyone care to look into this... it's not working for me anymore!

It still works on my version 2.10.28 Samj's Portable.

But when I tried it for the second and third time the script didn't work.

I figured it was because I wasn't paying attention to the instruction given in post #1 :

"Remember you need to have just ONE text or shape layer for the script to work correctly. OR make the bg invisible first."

After that the script is working without problems.

Thank you, I did what you said and now it works!

Rod · **Joined:** May 16, 2010 **Posts:** 16262

Is it possible that you added a background layer before running the script?
Sorry it took so long to answer you btw.
You only need create your text layer and then run the script.

mackenzieh · **Posted:** Fri Jan 14, 2022 6:10 pm **(#34)**

It works. What I do is start with a transparent layer and then run the script.

I have not gone thru all of my filters to make sure they work with the new version of Gimp.
I will do this soon.
Thank you.

Colored Pencil plus fails in gimp 2.10.30 in windows 10 64 bit:

Thanks! I'll look into it. Looks to be you possibly may be missing a file in your gimpressionist folders. And therefore my script cannot find it. Or it could be the procedure call is not correct in the script itself.

You're welcome. I only checked out ones under your name. I'm not sure what other plugins you have. If you have more, I'd test those too.
