Thank you! I would like to add some steps that you have skipped in your tutorial... * after step 15, you should do Select/to path and add an empty path.(to remember the selection, afterwards) * step 16, instead of inverse, clear should say: clear and then select the original path, and path to selection, select the new path. That would limit the blur effect to the ball and not overflow outside of it. Or, perhaps, the only missing part might have been that at step 16 instead of saying inverse it should say: color/inverse (not the selection/inverse as comes next). Reflection is cool! At the new GIMP the shadow perspective filter is inside a new section called shadows... Thank you, again! Alberto Great!
