New GIMP user who has not previous used Photoshop. So far I have had mixed results. Creating a new layered project was successful, but coming back to modify that project has been a total brick wall.
I have 11 layers with each containing a single text component, image or shape. I can't seem to be able to edit any of my existing text. I have hidden most layers from view and am trying to work with a single layer that has a single text box that I want to change. My source is an XCF file, from which I exported JPG files for our website. I have not (knowingly) applied filters or done much more than add text, shapes and a couple of small images. Search results have all been about older versions. I can't right-click the layer and choose edit (which sounds wonderfully simple and effective...). Documentation explains the new features but only offer how to add, not edit text. Right-clicking the existing text pops up the GIMP menu, not something context sensitive. Using the text tool seems to only want to add new text, not change what I already have. It shouldn't (can't) be this hard so there must be something simple that I'm missing. Just a little help! I'm not usually this slow to pick up new tools. Many thanks!
