I have photoshop 7 and have acquired many layer styles over the years and want to be able to use them in gimp. How do I accomplish this? I have not been able to find anywhere that says they support it or anything in the program that resembles this. Thanks

The gimp developers are not in general photoshop users, and it's not the goal of gimp to be a photoshop clone.

So the question is really, what does these style things let you accomplish and how do you use them? Are they for the text editor?

They have brought most other actions from photoshop to gimp and this is an important aspect of the general overall program. They are important to me as I use them all the time in my digital scrapbooking. Styles are preset effects that change your text or images in just a single click. Like changing a shape of a leaf into an embossed dot pattern. I could go in an create each style independently but styles are a one click shopping for ease of use. Is there a way to create a layer effect and saving it so that it can be used all the time? Pam

Obviously gimp doesn't have this but there is a Layer effects plugin. Haven't used PS in years and I doubt this plugin has every effect/style you'll find in PS, but it probably has the most used ones. http://registry.gimp.org/node/186
The fly in the oinment is that it's neither has a button or is accessible from the r-click menu, so you have to access it through menus. I am betting though it could be added to the r-click menu without too much trouble though. I might look into this myself as it would be a lot handier there.

Easier than I thought. Just download the py version for 2.8 and it's already done as well as being in the layers menu at the top. My old scm version was still working so I never thought to upgrade.

I was really looking at being able to create presets for layer effects, which is what styles are in photoshop. Is there a way to create a layer effect and make it into a preset item so I can just pull it up whenever I want to be able to use it? I have attached a picture of what they look like and do in PS.

Wow, it has been a long time indeed since I've used PS. I completely forgot about those. Sorry for the confusion on my part. I'm not sure of any way to recreate that functionality in gimp. g'mic lets you save presets for your filters and you can program your own, but no way to to browse swatches like PS styles do.

Thanks. I think I will just have to create a list of my favorite and write down all the effect settings for each. I do like gimp but eventually I will probably buy the student teacher version of photoshop...when I graduate and can afford it.
