As with everything Gimp, there is a better way. Using a layer mask Starting with the same three layers. Use the text layer to make a selection. Layer -> Transparency -> Alpha to selection. (1)
Hate this mailing list format so screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/188coxa.jpg Turn the text visibility off, move down to the gradient layer then. Layer -> Mask -> Add layer mask. In the dialogue choose the selection option (2) screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/Cl0IQx0.jpg Turn the selction off, Select -> None, adjust the opacity of the gradient layer (3) screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/6aKXRE7.jpg -- rich404 (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
