[Gimp-user] setting Dynamic text colour
When I use dynamic text, and I need it a certain colour to match in, is there an easier way than matching by eye or adjusting the sliders individually (bit of a nightmare) Dave Debian Woody, Gimp 1.2.3 PS I know this is an old version, waiting for sarge ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
