Simulating Layer Effects in Gimp
Here is a script to simulate layer effects in Gimp. It is also available as a python plugin, which I would recommend, as it provides a preview button, and is a bit faster.

okay i downloaded it and did what it said to, but nothing happened. Under Render: Clouds, I now have Fog, but that wont work at all, and thats it. Also, I thought that maybe getting a newer version might work, so I download version 2.4.6, but nothing worked on that

nothin under layers either....
oh and what i meant when i said that v.2.4.6 wouldnt work, i meant that everything i try to do on it crashes
I have to say that I'm with bryguy on this. I have downloaded the python plugin and placed it in the plugin folder and I do not get any Layer Effects sub-menu. My guess is that my windows XP system doesn't have python installed. Any ideas?
i have mac osx leopard, maybe thats why it wont work for me?
eh, maybe i should try the .scm....
I believe I used this all-in one installer on my XP system:

No suggestions for osX, sorry

still cant get the python one to work, but the scm one works great!
also, i started googling to see if i could find more scripts, and i found this:

maybe you have to reinstall GIMP, cause if you do a normal installation without having python and GTK installed on your system GIMP doesnt install everything you need for the python script to work.
Install everything from the link RobA provided, then reinstall GIMP and be sure to do a full installation. Afterwards the python script should work.
