Purple Shadow

So what's the point of this ? Well people apply Hard edged Drop Shadow to Letters and Objects but there is a blur option combined with adjusting the xy co-ordinates and opacity percentages that can create a halo effect. A fuzzy outline without using airbrush tools!
There's actually several  layers of shadow here merged! Okay so it's an experiment but think about how you can use plugins and filters in unusual different ways? Also I like Purple! and using GIMP!

Whether you use GIMP or Photoshop don't forget to just play with it sometimes.

Experiment and have fun!
