drop shadow text

I have on my desk "The Basics tutorial" By JTL dated 2002. Is there a newer and easier way to create three dimensional text with a drop shadow?

there was at one time a script-fu that seemed to be based solely on the tutorial. i remember it because it made the shadows too dark for my tastes and the transparency percentage was hardcoded into the script.

i cannot remember the name of the script and i do not know if GIMP still contains this.

it would be easy enough to write though.

It sure would be great to get some of the Type Tools that Adobe has in theri products.

I realize that's what made Adobe Adobe. But i sure do miss have such elegant type control.

That alone makes PS a great tool.

if i remember correctly, those 'type controls' were added for photoshop6 and i had the feeling then that adobe 'stole' from Illustrator to get this new control for Photoshop.

it is hardly stealing if it is from your own product.

that being said, this is the land of freesoftware. Inkscape would be GIMP's Illustrator. the unfortunate thing about Inkscape and GIMP is that it is too separate projects and two different widget sets (kind of) so there are some naturally occuring restrictions about GIMP's ability to steal functionality (in the same way that photoshop stole from illustrator).
