      -> Border X Size = 1
      -> Border Y Size = 1
      -> Border Color = black (R:0, G:0, B:0)
      -> Delata Value on Color = 1
   * Image/Flatten Image
   * Script-Fu/Shadow/Drop-Shadow with this options :
      -> Offset X = 5
      -> Offset Y = 5
      -> Blur Radius = 10
      -> Color = black (R:0, G:0, B:0)
      -> Opacity = 80
      -> Allow Resizing = On
   * Save target image in PNG with max compression (Compression Level = 9)
