Possibly a workflow type of problem 1. put all your text on layers, even put revised text on a new layer 2. save you work as an xcf (native gimp format) all layers will be kept 3. use the eye icon in the layers to get your final version 4. Save as a jpg/png whatever Not quite correct? Reopen the xcf file, adjust as necessary, resave as xcf and then into your final format.
