Hello, everyone. I'm brand new to GIMP for Mac, so first a hearty hello!
For my first project with GIMP, I'm trying to make a postcard for an
art exhibition. I started by opening the central image that I want on
the card, then I adjusted the size of the layer containing the image to
6.75 X 4.75
Just a general question to throw out there: Is it feasible to have GIMP
be modular in it's filters and image tools (basically all of the image
processing stuff outside of painting)? I've worked in 3D with apps that
have such an approach, where each module can be added / removed and the

Thanks for the information. This was new to me.

I think most of the developers already understand the value
of layer effects quite well. Let me try to summarize the current
situation. Ther

In a nutshell, adjustment layers or layer effects are
not real layers but something like virtual layers.
When you modify an art object using, say an adjustment
layer the original artwork remain intact at all time.
The adjustments layer doesn't alter the artwork, only
simulates the changes. Better,

Yes you can call the gimp from the command line or use perl GIMP modules:

The drop shadow, I think, was just an example. What if, instead, I
wanted to make a bevel depth of a button deeper? The layers wouldn't

drag a slider!
Gotcha. :)

Yea, that's the whole idea.
Layer effects/styles save you from having to re-create your effects all the the
time... plus everything is cleaner because the "effect" is generated in
real-time.
