when other graphic designers say “gimp is not good” or “inkscape is not professional”, or say bad things about linux, i have to show them that even linux can be awesome!!!

    Oh I see, but anyways, I was referring to the opposite, I was curious why you didn’t make it all with Inkscape rather than the opposite

        Oh, well there’s 2 ways mainly:

        • duplicate objects, flatten, change color to dark/black and turn up the blur percentage (my preference for easier control after creation and more options all around)
        • use the shadow filter under Filters > Shadows and Glows > Drop Shadow, more crude, but it works if your needs stay within what the filter can do

          the first way is exactly what i do but on gimp! thank you. whenever i duplicate objects (text) on inkscape, i have to turn them to paths before changing anything

            You don’t have to turn text into a path if you just change color, opacity and blur percentage of it
