I do have all my XCF files. I used tried this method: click-n-drag the text layer, from one image up into the tab of another. It works really well and you're right the text is very very tiny. I had to increase the font size from the original 40 to about 100. If not this should do fine and save some time. I tried this with a color background and it did fine, I just needed to scale the size back up and position it. So with this method am I losing quality? Of course I know I'm starting from scratch with the 2 pics importing them into the 300 ppi template, that's fine. -- GerryPeters (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
