I don't know what I did, but now when I open a text box and type in, the text looks stretched out sideways. Closing the file and closing GIMP doesn't work. When I open a pic and try to put text on it, it is still stretched.
View 2 RepliesWhen I open GIMP, the window is quite different from what it used to be. I uninstalled and reinstalled GIMP, but there is no change. Is there any way to make the appearance normal? The screenshots that I have attached are after a lot of efforts to make the screen appear 'normal'
OS Ubuntu 13.04
GIMP: 2.8.X (available with Ubuntu software centre, no modifications)
I made a text layer on top of a textured background and changed the text layer mode to grain extract. I want to put a 3 pixel black border around it that is solid with a normal mode. How do I add a border to my text without it being effected by the text layers mode? The only way that I know how to border is to Alpha the layer to selection then go to edit and stroke selection.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am engraving a company logo on to the outside of a round tube with a custom font. There are two boxes of text that I am engraving. The first box works just fine with the "Emboss" tool. The second line works fine when the "% Stretch" parameter in the text edit window is left at 100%. When I change the "% Stretch" to 85%, I get the "Self-intersecting loop found in this profile" error message. I get this error message when I try stretching it to 115% as well. I changed the font to a standard font and I was able to emboss the text no matter the "% Stretch" value.
The bottom line is Inventor will not emboss text that has a custom font and a modified stretch percentage. This line of text must be stretched to match the company logo.
trying put create text (or text saved as an image) in a distorted arch shape over top of an oval shaped image.
want text start as larger contract towards the middle and expand to the end.
all text flat on top and the curving would be along the bottom (to go over the oval shaped image).
[might also eventually want to make something similar (shape upside down of this one) to go along bottom of oval image.]
text would be in this bridge shape below:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on making a map out of a satellite image. I am stuck trying to figure out how to get text to be small enough to be legible. I have cropped and resized the original image, It is 137x224 @ 72ppi. I want the text smaller, I think I cant get enough definition because the pixels are huge, text size 7 and under becomes like 6 squares per letter and there is no definition.
The same effect is keeping me from getting well defined and sharp lines. I try to stroke a path and the line looks like a row of squares instead of a line.
How do I make text with 2 colours?

Like something similar to this?
The way I know how to do it is by typing the first word in black lets say, then open a new text dialogue on another layer and type in the other word with a different colour.
Is there an easier way to do this since I'm afraid that my text won't be in line with each other?
I've been using gimp occasionally here and there but never anything complicated. Now I want to make a text string appear along a path. I thought it would be easy, but after googling some how-to's I found a source of infinite frustration.
The thing is that the paths of string letters are almost never the way I want them to be. Although I tried a rather time consuming workaround for my task, it really bugs me that I was not able to use a built in feature.
Troubleshooting info: tried both gimp 2.8.2 and latest i could get 2.8.6 for windows, running win 7 x64
steps:
1. select path tool and create some path
2. select text tool and add some text
3. select the path created earlier from the Paths tab
4. Layer -> Text along path
and this is what I get (made the original path (red) and string's path (blue) visible):
I have gimp 2.8 and am taking a class on gimp. I need to use an image to make text and it doesn't work.
I have followed steps from Google searched tutorials and I can do all the steps but the end result is I still paste a black font. (I tried opening gimp tutorials and it took me to a page to link to the tuts but wouldn't open? So i went to Google.
I have followed a variety of step lessons - some that are easy and some that go on forever. None work. The easiest steps were .. open an image / select tool font / click on image / type text / resize to how I want it to look / move it to where i want text to be over image / click on text layer / right click / drop menu choose "alpha to selection" = text letters become selected (at this stage I can fill with a pattern etc and that works so I know I have a selection) Edit/ copy / open new file / edit / paste / and the text should be written with the image as the letters BUT I just get the text in black.
What am i doing wrong or does this feature not work in 2.8.
I followed a tutorial to get to an acceptable text image , even managed a border. [URL]........
