I am using GIMP 2.10.24 in Windows 11. As you can see from the attached photo, I am using 2 layers for the two photos. The text are each on their own layers. Because I didn’t want the kitchen showing, I cut out that area with the Free Select Tool. The two photos are behind the two text layers.
I am trying to apply Drop Shadows to the text and for some reason, I can only get a partial shadow or none. I had to place each text in the uper left corner and try to avoid the image of my sitting in the recliner.
Clearly I must be doing something wrong. Here’s the working file that I’m using to create my thumbnails. I’d appreciate learning what I’m doing wrong. I didn’t have this problem, before. Then again, I didn’t use the free select tool like this, before.
