Re: [Gimp-user] Changing the color of only part of my text
This problem is very simple to solve. 1. Enable 'lock alpha' on the text layer. 2. Choose the color you want 'daughter' written in. 3. Use paintbrush tool to paint over 'daughter' with the desired color. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You might try Inkscape (another program) - since the end result will be vector, it will be more suited to logo creation if you ever need to submit it for printing. You could then open the SVG file in GIMP if it needs to be part of a larger composition...

You could make the letters white, and add transparent filters 'above' the text. Or non-transparent filters and set layer multiplication. Or put the text, and cut and paste parts to other layers, then colorize them (without necessity to move them). Just a few ideas...
