[Gimp-user] How to add "newspaper headline" to my image?

[Moti]

I'm interested in creating an image that has this tilted newspaper headline
attached to it.
Unfortunately, can't seems to find a tutorial about the creation of this.
Not very familiar with GIMP, i use it for some basic stuff, so any direction or
clue will be greatly appreciated.
basically, i want to create something like the attached image and then add to
some image.
any thoughts?

There are many ways to overcome this:

1) Have you tried to save it in an older version of photoshop file (if
possible) with something like "file->save as" (I do not know
photoshop...)?

2) Why not save it in a layered format like tiff?

3) At least you can always copy & past layer by layer into GIMP. Tricky but
it should work...

IMHO best solution is 2).

Not possible without PS.
The image is not 8 layers. It is 2 layers + 6 fill layers (similar to 
adjustment layers)

Even with PS it is not easy. The fill layers in that image will not rastorize. 
You have to introduce a regular layer and merge down for each of the fill 
layers.

Re: [Gimp-user] Removing a vertical strip

Here's one way.

(1) use the rectangle select tool to select the strip to remove and everything 
to the right of it.

(2) press control-shift-l to "float" the selection (or use select->float)

(3) use the move tool (looks like four arrows moving away, or press "m") and 
press the left arrow and/or shift-left-arrow, or drag the selected area - press 
mouse, press control, drag, to constrain it to be only horizontal and not 
diagonal.

(4) click outside the selected area (pointer changes to an anchor when outside) 
to glue the rectangular flap back down.

(5) if it's all good, use the crop tool to get rid of the right-hand blank part.

(6) use file->export to make a new PNG or JPEG image (or whatever) saving the 
result.
