These are great tutorials. GIMP 2.10.18 made changes to the Drop Shadow effect so they do not quite work the same. However, there is still a Drop Shadow (Legacy) in the Filters -> Light and Shadow menu. It is the same effect used here. Took me a while to find out about it, but it is worth it.
Thank you for these great lessons.

[@jcshopnotes]

As a beginner with Gimp, and a senior citizen, I find your tutorials VERY helpful. You explain what you are going to do vs just providing file and tab selections. Easy to follow along.

This video helped me out alot for the school assignment I was given for this video

[@beaturvey]

Thank you - one of the best GIMP tutorials I have come across. Correction, the best!
You don't whizz through, the screen and voice are clear, you give helpful little hints (fg=foreground) and you don't stutter or mumble.
I have recommended it to other people and posted a link on my blog.

[@conniesmith9609]

[@214roofing]

I actually made an image as your video played. Turned out very similar except my own text at a 100px font size due to having more characters than the word GIMP. Looks great, thanks for your video tutorials.

[@rlocatellidigital]

If you’re using GIMP version 2.8 then go to the “Windows” menu and select “Single-Window Mode.” The single window mode is not available in earlier versions of GIMP.

You're a perfect teacher!!!!!

[@lisetterg]

THANKS! GREETING FROM PUERTO RICO! :)

[@alehandro8357]

Hey, man! Thanks a lot for this video instruction. Everything was going well until that moment, when we have to fill the inner part of the words with gray, cause in the 2.10 version it doesn't work the way you show n this video.
But I manaed find the other way how to do it))
The only thing that I couldn't figure out is how to add another drop shadow, not to the outside off the words, but inside them.
Thats why It would be nice if you record another video on this topic, but by using the GIMP 2.10 version.

[@MrWaynemarshall]

Another thumbs up , thanks.

[@marecarr]

Excellent work, keep it up

[@mmL2145]

you make such great videos! thank you :)

[@dOOnLoL]

thank for this tutorial ...is great

[@pugglepower217]

Can I use this against a back ground that I have created myself? Thanks again for an awesome video.

[@randoramma]

Thanks for the great tutorial.. Can you explain when using the gradient effect (I think) you selected the middle and pulled down to the bottom right corner. What is the significance of that, and what does pulling it less or more do for the effect? Best Regards!

[@sam-ie2eq]

Thankyou v much, love your tutorials

[@kumicholee]

amazing tutorial, i'll be practicing this more often thanks!

[@ccvincent6115]

Very cool effect, and so simple to do. Thanks tutor4u!
For FG/BG Colour Selection to appear as it does in the video, tho:
Go to Edit/Preferences/Toolbox and check box for "Show foreground & background color". Usually is in by default, afaik, and is my preference.

[@AskWhyNot230]

[@luciflu]

Great!!!! did you stop doing tutorials for GIMP?

[@RHComputerGeek]

I always wanted to make a sign sorta like it was scratched in...this seems to be a good start, but how would I get the scratches in there? Something to look around :)

[@tutor4u]

Click on the “Windows” menu, at the top of the GIMP window, and you should see “Recently Closed Docs” and "Dockable Dialogs." One of these should help.

[@yungdon1934]
