Releases: LinuxBeaver/Gimp_Layer_Effects_Text_Styler_Plugin_GEGL_Effects
GEGL Effects Gimp Plugin July 22 2023 checkpoint - Dec 5 2024 update
This is the download page for a GIMP Plugin called GEGL Effects which is an advance text styling tool for GIMP. You can find its Windows and Linux binaries and code in the assets section.
Preview of GEGL Effects May 2024 internal update that prevents editable text from clipping without a checkbox
Preview of the July 22 2023 sharp bevel update (the last new feature)
Changes Made since last checkpoint release
1. Bevel has a new sharp bevel mode that is in both stand alone bevel and GEGL Effects.
Sharp Bevel mode uses a unique algorithm that makes an awesome new bevel effect.
2. Gimp 2.99/3 users will see GEGL Effects in their menu under Filters/Text Styling (2.10 is incapable of this)
Tiny changes and emergency fixes made in the July 22 2023 series that do not qualify as a new checkpoint release can be found here.
Despite many internal changes and stand alone plugin updates happening since July 22 2023 till now GEGL Effects has not received any new features for text styling. Once a new feature is added the Jully 22 2023 checkpoint will be an old release.
Future Plans
NOTE - I consider GEGL Effects complete software as it is unlikely to get any new features. It is already more complex then Adobe of the early 2000s. However, there are future goals I have clearly thought of/experimented with.
- Make zzstrokebevelimage.c a non hidden outline, shadow aura operation (like bevel, inner glow and glass text)
HOW TO INSTALL
Binaries are in the Windows and Linux Zip files.
GEGL_Effects_Windows_Binaries.zip .dll files the download for Windows
GEGL_Effects_Linux_Binaries.zip .so files is the download for Linux
gimp_210_before_lb_namespace.zip is a late 2023 build of GEGL Effects before the lb name space change that broke presets. It is intended for GIMP 2.10 users that want to update to the latest version before presets broke. Said build will also work on GIMP 3 RC1. Though GIMP 3 users are recommended to avoid this build.
Source Code
For some reason the auto Github generated source code of this filter is outdated. So please use the updated source code I provided here named source_code_of_gegl_effects_CE.zip
If Individual linux binaries do not work then try disabling their executable status.
Remember to download all five binaries (bevel, innerglow, zzstrokebevelimage, glassovertext, and gegleffectspending) or the main plugin will not work. If you already have my plugins overwrite all of them with the latest versions.
Location to put Binaries
Windows (may need to create "plug-ins" folder if it doesn't exist.)
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\gegl-0.4\plug-ins
Linux
/home/(USERNAME)/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins
Linux (Flatpak) includes ChromeBook
/home/(USERNAME)/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/data/gegl-0.4/plug-ins
Then Restart Gimp and go to GEGL Operations and select this plugin from the drop down list. If you use Gimp 2.99.16+ it will be in the main menu under filters>text styling.
Special builds

If you are looking for the AI build note that it was discontinued because of problems in GIMP 2.99.19 but the stand alone bash through AI plugin is here and works in 2.10 and 2.99.19+

GEGL Effects Gimp Plugin June 10th 2023 update
THIS IS AN OLD STABLE RELEASE OF GEGL EFFECTS THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE ARCHIVE HERE. DOWNGRADING CAN BREAK THE LATEST VERSION. ONLY DOWNGRADE IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
*june 17 update to future proof bevel and inner glow.
*june 24 update to make very minor insignificant changes. Every Plugin of mine was updated to comply with a new policy of mine to include their GEGL Graph in the source code. This is still considered a June 10th release even though the build is June 24th.
*July 13 - Future proofing bevel again - no changes made. It is pretty much confirmed that June 10th is the final release ever.
Changes Made since last release
Glass on Text is now part of GEGL Effects. This allows tons of new text styles
Inner Glow can now use the hsv hue blend mode
Image Overlay's blend mode switcher doesn't change the blend mode of the default image.
Gradient has a master opacity slider
Median Blur radius 0 was added at the end of GEGL Effects to support Gimp's non-destructive future.
--
NOTE - THIS (june tenth 2023) MAY BE THE FINAL UPDATE TO GEGL EFFECTS EVER. I consider GEGL Effects complete software as of June 2023. It is already objectively more complex then Adobe Photoshop CS2's layer styles. Who could ask for more, LOL?

GEGL Effects Gimp Plugin May 31st 2023 update
THIS IS AN OLD STABLE RELEASE OF GEGL EFFECTS THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE ARCHIVE HERE. DOWNGRADING CAN BREAK THE LATEST VERSION. ONLY DOWNGRADE IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
*GEGL Effects May 31 2023 big update here. June 5th 2023 under the hood improvement. The biggest changes in this version listed.
- The ability to add an extra outline.
- The ability to use a solid color fill for text. This makes GEGL Effects able to change the color of any text not just white text.
- A new slider to allow bevels to be black via the Grain Merge and Hard Light blend mode; which is included in GEGL Effects.
- Image file Overlay has a blend mode switcher; but it obviously only blends with what is on Gimp's canvas.
- Left click color A opacity sliders now work for outline, shadow and extra outline.
