Think Umoupen could help you any? It's probably not quite as good as Photoshop for everything, but, even though it's in beta, it works really well

Its just, i can do it by hand(painfully) and i do it so rarely that is not worth it to learn a new program for something j do once a month

Checked on Krita by chance? I believe it has a layer style option that should let you do that on vector layers, I've seen it but not used it yet on my projects. Mostly because I hand make it through my admittedly obtuse way lol.

Im too deep in the photoshop meta unfortunately. Also krita is painting focused which is not what i need tho.

What are you trying to achieve? Just to get a picture of what you're doing.
