I think that's the best solution. In the Layers dock, right click the text layer and select Duplicate Layer. Then right click on the new layer and select Discard Text Information. You might then click in the small box with a paint brush icon just above the layer thumbnails in the same dock: That locks the layer's alpha channel, preserving the transparency of the empty part of the new layer no matter what you smear on the part with text. :o) _______________________________________________ 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
