These filters correspond to the logo-generating script-fu scripts. They add all kinds of special effects to the alpha channel of the active layer.

[Note] Note

The menu items and the corresponding functions are enabled only in presence of an alpha channel. If you see that the menu items are greyed out, try to add an alpha channel to your image.

If you want to apply an “Alpha to Logo” filter to a selection, you will need only a few more mouse clicks:

  1. Save selection to a channel.

  2. Add a layer mask to the layer and initialize the mask with that channel.

  3. Don't forget to Apply the layer mask.

  4. Apply the “Alpha to Logo” filter.
