Do not copy and paste. You saved the file with text layer(s) as an xcf file. In the new file open that xcf using File -> Open as Layers. alternative. You can drag and drop the text layer from one image to another. Click and drag the text layer from the layers dialogue to the tab of the destination file. The focus (canvas) changes to that file. Do not let go of the mouse, continue the drag into the canvas. -- rich2005 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
