In 2.8, Filters>Light and shadow>Drop shadow (this add the shadow as a new layer) In 2.10: Filters>Light and shadow>Drop shadow is a new interactive tool, which sets the shadow in the same layer.
This doesn't look like the standard drop-shadow script in Gimp 2.8 or Gimp 2.10 (different ordering of parameters, and the standard Gimp script has no lighting angle or layer mode parameters) In neither Gimp 2.8 nor Gimp 2.10 I can find a WHITE-MASK constant, the closest being ADD-WHITE-MASK which is used in (gimp-layer-create-mask layer mask-type) (and is 0 ). This rasterizes the layer into a normal layer with transparency.
The change is small but at the same time it is different from what I was used to with 2.6/2.8 So I … The Gradient Overlay layer style is very similar to the color overlay, but here you can add multiple colors instead of one. Open your image, then apply the GIMP Drop Shadow script-fu, which can be found on the active image at. I use the script-fu-drop-shadow function as seen below (script-fu-drop-shadow image textDrawable 0 7 16 '(0 0 0) 1 FALSE) It works on normal layers, but not text layers it seems like. Filters > Light and Shadow > Drop Shadow.
