You probably understood this, but it's a potential point of confusion,
so let's try to make it totally clear: "selected" here means to make
sure, before opening the Bump Map dialog, that the texture is the active
layer in the main window (selected in the layers dialog).

Maybe what you're missing is that, in the Bump Map dialog, you have to
select the text layer as the Bump Map ... that option is in the upper
right corner (at least for me on Linux ... I don't imagine it varies by
platform, but it's conceivable).

Yes, for the final image ... though if you start with the text below the
texture, it won't be visible anyway.

> the text layer in the layers box.  Maybe you need to flatten it first?

Can't imagine how that would make a difference at this stage.




Ok, that did it... I was not selecting the texture layer first, then the bump map.
Very good. How can I save it out to be able to drop it over another picture? Brush? I need to be able to resize it, if nessary.

Excuse me, but no flash plugin is needed, in that kind

Images are discouraged by W3.org?


Yes, if they are used to display text. There is no way images can be 
translated for blind people surfing.


And use of tables to position the elements on a page is definitely 
discouraged by W3C. CSS attributes should be used instead.


Oh, and by the way, since you have not yet answered to the people who 
asked you waht you mean by "frame", I am allowed to interpret it as html 
frame element. Frames has been discouraged by W3C for many many years 
(probably since around 1997, HTML4 strict having no frames).



Dont think so. (just is needed to use the ALT tab)

I understand GIMP is not for this now, but why not?


Because "use the right tool for the job" is an important concept. For 
the same reason, partition magic or windows media player (in *nix wolrd, 
lets say Kdevelop and totem) are not for writing web pages, and asking 
"why not" would not make much sense.



would be very useful. I will see if I can contribute
in the future about.


Have a look at perlotine, webotine, pyslice, split on guide. They could 
be good starts, and you can choose what language you want. There is also 
gimp-sharp slice tool which could be handy.
