[Gimp-user] Creating Transparent Text

2013-02-16 Thread Denise Hamilton
I am working on a webpage to sell my photography. I am trying to create
text with my copyright information on the photos so that they cannot be
copied (pirated).

I have read the GIMP documentation and experimented with adding text to the
photo. I cannot find how to make the text visible but not solid. I do not
want it to impact the viewing of the photos.

Someone once told me I needed to create a mask to do this or a custom
brush.  Someone here on the gimp-user list said i could do it just with the
text tool.

Any help you can offer will be appreciated.

[Gimp-user] CR2 files

2013-02-12 Thread Denise Hamilton
I photographed the aurora while living in Alaska in RAW format which
produces a CR2 extension. Why will GIMP not open these photos? Are there
plans to expand GIMP to access these file types?

Thank you, Denise
