I am creating in Gimp effect that is shown on below picture:

The way that I am doing it is:

Make circle selection
Copy paste what is below on new layer
Grow selection
Add layer and fill it with white
shrink selection and delete
Drop shadow
Scale bottom, original layer to be a little smaller.

It is not very complicated but takes a while.
Do you know any tool (may be paid but please no photoshop expensive) or method that can speed up this process?

Or maybe there is a way in Gimp that can easily automate this task?

Thanks

: Printing on plastic - coated versus uncoated I understand the coated versus uncoated dealing with paper stock, but is there any difference when dealing with plastics? Do plastics have absorption

This is how I made a looking glass effect with default filters included with Gimp 2.8.:

Make cirular selection (fixed aspect ratio 1:1)
Apply Filter > Distorts > Lens Distortion (Edge: 20 Zoom: 30 Y shift: 30 )
optional: add Filters > Decor > Add Bevel (Thickness 10)
add Filters > Light and Shadow > Drop Shadow (x 0 y 0 blur 10)
Make a border Select > Border (4 px feathered)
Bucket fill selection with white
optional: apply Filters > Decor > Add Bevel (Thickness 4)

This will produce the following effect:

To automate this we can define a script to stack the effects chosen above using the inbuilt ScriptFu scripting language. Sadly this has quite a steep learning curve, and at present there is no working script recorder available to ease scripting.
