Please describe your issue with details. Add screenshot or other files if needed.
Reproduction
Bug is reproduceable
Reproduction steps:
- Text - Alpha to selection - Selection to path - Invert Selection
- Filter - Distorts - either Drop shadow, Emboss or Engrave selection - Tried several X/Y settings, left it default
- First pass nothing. Thought to invert selection again (misstep perhaps) Still nothing. Continued to go through the steps with nothing. Switched from Emboss to Engrave following identical steps. Received an error (did not capture it).
- Gave up and went through the Legacy option and it worked fine. Spent too much time fighting whether I was making an error or not.
…
Expected result: For the text effect to work and create an embossed, drop shadow image that appeared to be carved into wood.
Actual result: Nothing.
