Drop Shadow question
06252006 1409 GMT-6
Im using 2.28 and trying to use the Python-Fu > Effects > Drop Shadow. I thought it was droping black because that was the foreground color but after changing the color - its still black. Is this ONLY available in black?

Drop Shadow Question
06292006 1151 GMT_6
I asked about this Drop Shadow and someone responded back that I have to click on color button - but I dont have that. I have from top to bottom: Shadow Blur, Bevel the Image, Make a drop shadow, x displacement, y displacement, ok and cancel.

Use Script-Fu>Shadow>Drop Shadow

It sounds like you're looking at Drop Shadow and Bevel, not Drop Shadow. Those are two completely different plug-ins. Drop Shadow (written in script-fu) has a color button, Drop Shadow and Bevel (written in python) does not.

A, I am not sure if the following produces the effect you desire, but it should be easy enough to test it out.
* Activate the QuickMask and stroke your path with a WHITE pen.
* Deactivate QuickMask.
* Use the Blend tool to fill the selection with the appropriate gradient. You will probably wish to set the Shape to "Shaped (angular)".

Thanks - that almost works.
First problem is that the shaped (angular) gradient is also bi-linear. So what I did was try it twice on two layers, once from low to middle and once from middle to high. Then chopped out half of each. (Since I actually have a lower layer filled two colours, the chop out was, luckily, easy to do using an intersection colour selection) Unfortunately, the result was still pretty much unusable.
Here's a hand in the picture I'm creating, done this way.
If I can't find a better way I'll use that one - since it's way better than what I can do by hand, but hopefully someone knows a way to get a perfect result.
However, thanks for the QuickMask bit - I never knew about it before! Very useful!
How to do Angled Gradient Fills
Hi
I do all smooth lines with select menu:
For example if you have a hand path - you can then make a selection
from it (from Path Tab).
You can allways save your selections to channels (From selection Tab)
so you can leter to channel to selection (from channel Tab)
Then make a selection from the curved path (that you have inside the
hand) - this selection should bigger than (at leaset 100px bigger in
this example) the hand. Then from menus Select-Feather (for exapmle
100px) and add the darker color to it. Then get again you hand
selection, then Select->Invert and cut out all outside of the hand.
It's simple to show but hard to describe.

But this is not important.
