Typically layers are used for this. You use the text tool and one layer is just for text. You also have a background layer in which you can change the color. Are you familiar with layers? If not, check out this documentation. Text management (and using the Text Tool) http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-image-text-management.html An introduction to Layers. http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-image-combining.html#gimp-concepts-layers The bucket fill tool is typically used for solid fill backgrounds. http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-tool-bucket-fill.html SAM -- I prefer to encrypt my email GPG FINGERPRINT 4096 KEY 8D8B F0E2 42D8 A068 572E BF3C E8F7 3234 7257 E65F https://keybase.io/samrocketman Learn how to encrypt your email with the Email Self Defense guide: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en/ _______________________________________________ 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
