In the tool options dialogue select the font, size, colour and other options such as justification, line and letter spacings. You can also select the box to be fixed or dynamic which expands as text is added.
Draw a large textbox anywhere on the image by clicking and dragging the cursor diagonally (it can be moved and resized later). If you click on the ALT key when the text tool is selected, you can move the text box.

The GIMP Text Editor dialogue will appear, and you can type the required text. If typing does not appear check you have clicked back into the text window and that the size of the text is also large enough.
At any later time, you can activate the text layer and select the text tool. To select the text run the mouse over the letters and yellow boxes will appear for each letter. You can change the font, size, colour and justification on the selected letters.
The text layer can be duplicated, moved, rotated or resized to the desired position on the image as it is a separate layer. Close the Text Editor box when finished.
Text is managed with the Text tool. This tool creates a new layer containing the text, above the current layer in the layer dialog, with the size of the text box. Its name is the beginning of the text.
You can edit the text later, if the text layer still exists and has not been modified by another tool (see below): make the text layer active in theLayer dialog, select the Text tool and click on the text in the image window.
To understand some of the idiosyncrasies of text handling, it may help for you to realize that a text layer contains more information than the pixel data that you see: it also contains a representation of the text in a text-editor format. You can see this in the text-editor window that pops up while you are using the Text tool. Every time you alter the text, the image layer is redrawn to reflect your changes.
Now suppose you create a text layer, and then operate on it in some way that does not involve the Text tool: rotate it, for example. Suppose you then come back and try to edit it using the Text tool. As soon as you edit the text, the Text tool will redraw the layer, wiping out the results of the operations you performed in the meantime.
Because this danger is not obvious, the Text tool tries to protect you from it. If you operate on a text layer, and then later try to edit the text, a message pops up, warning you that your alterations will be undone, and giving you three options:
Apart from the usual text formatting features like font family, style and size selectors you get numeric control over baseline offset and kerning, as well as the ability to change text color for a selection.
Blank spaces, 2 pixels wide, are added between all selected characters and letter widths are preserved. If no text is selected, a blank space is added at the place of the mouse pointer between two characters.
Path from text: this command creates a path from the outlines of the current text. The result is not evident. You have to open the Path dialog and make path visible. Then select the Path tool and click on the text. Every letter is now surrounded with a path component. So you can modify the shape of letters by moving path control points.
This option is enabled only if a path exists. When your text is created, then create or import a path and make it active. If you create your path before the text, the path becomes invisible and you have to make it visible in the Path Dialog.
Click on the Text along Path button. The text is bent along the path. Letters are represented with their outline. Each of them is a component of the new path that appears in the Path dialog. All path options should apply to this new path.
My text font size is microscopic, and the help shows an option menu that lets me adjust that, but I'll be a monkey's uncle if I can find it. Anybody know where it wandered off to in gimp-2.6.6 as supplied with Fedora 10?

I'm working with a block of text in GIMP that consists of three short paragraphs, which are full-justified in their text box. The first paragraph seems to be perfectly fine; spacing between words automatically adjusts so the lines of text are distributed evenly across the width of the box. But in the second paragraph, you can clearly see how some of the spacing has increased between individual letters instead of the full words. The issue is also present in the third paragraph, though not as severe.
I've messed with all the text settings (not that GIMP has a super robust text editor in the first place) and have tried increasing and decreasing letter spacing, all to no avail. I also tried manually adding spaces to try to even everything out, but that ends up doing more harm than good.
This image is obviously just using placeholder text, but my actual project is behaving the exact same way: perfectly fine first paragraph, totally screwed up second paragraph, and so-so third paragraph. Does anyone know what the problem is, or how to fix it? I've worked with justified text in GIMP plenty of times and have never run into this spacing issue.
How do I move a selected text box (not a layer) in GIMP? I selected the box, but when I use the move tool, it moves the image (layer) instead of the box. I tried following the documentation here, but when I hold down ctrl-alt and click, a forbidden sign appears.
both responses seem to ignore the part about not moving the layer. the requester asked to move a text box, not the whole layer. i'm guessing because he/she wants to move just the one text box, not every text box on that layer. i want to have many text boxes and i want to be able to move them independently. i am not clear if/how i can do that.
i just tried combining the answers from above. i created a text box on a layer. then i held down shift and clicked on a pixel that had text in it, and dragged it. this had the desired effect - it moved the text selection i clicked on and did not move the whole layer.
As in the title - imagine there is some Gimp .xcf file containing many layers. Part of these layers contain text. Is there any format I can export .xcf file to, that it somehow preserve 'human readable' text ?
I did some research and I saw I can export image to .psd format and then using NPM package process that image and extract text. This is just partially solves the problem, because I will not know how to put the processed text back into this .psd file (unless I decompile this NPM package and try to write some implementation myself...)
You can script Gimp (using Scheme or Python). Technically you cannot change the text in a layer (there is no API for that), but you can recover the characteristics of a text layer (original text, font type, font size...) and recreate a new layer with a new text. Here is some Python code to recover the text information:
But if your XCF has a simple structure, it can be a lot simpler to decompose it into individual images, and build a new image with ImageMagick, using some of these layers plus new text images (or directly rendered text).
There is a much more flexible way to specify the surface of the Bumpmap. The Key is the Image -> Colors -> Curves-Dialog. Create the text and blur it with a wider radius. Then select the Curves-Dialog and modify the text-profile. A little Blur (Radius 2) makes the Bumpmap a little bit smoother. See the examples above.
Hitting any other key would give focus back to the text entry, with the pointer and text selection being the exact same as they were before the text entry lost focus. This means that you can always easily update your keywords without having to repetitively use the arrow keys, or the mouse.
If you often use the search-action dialog, you will likely appreciate not having to displace and resize it each time on the screen (forinstance if you want to see your image, or any other reason).For this reason, the dialog remembers where it was positioned last, as well as the width of the text entry, and the height of the proposed action list.This uses GIMP session management.
Hello, I am using Inkscape 1.0.2 on Linux, and I am looking for efficient and quick ways to collab Inkscape with Gimp. I made a fancy background using Gimp and copied all layers and pasted it into Inkscape. I then created a new layer with Inkscape and added graphical text. I then made a bitmap conversion of the graphical text, copied it to clipboard, deleted the bitmap and returned (alt tab) to Gimp. Once I returned to Gimp I pasted as a new layer and successfully accomplished my goal.
I would just like to know, is there a quicker way to do this? It is required I make a bitmap copy or the gradient property in the text will be lost. I also use keyboard shortcuts like "alt+B" for bitmap conversion ect.. I just want to know if it is possible to do things faster.
Copy your background in Gimp, and paste into Inkscape. Create your text with gradient effect on top. Now click the text once to select, then press Ctrl + C to copy. Open Gimp, then click on the Edit menu and select Paste As / New Layer.
I'm honestly guessing when I say it may be an OS issue. I'd be interested to know if other Linux users can or can't paste gradients into gimp. Might help to narrow down the problem. If you're able to test with another desktop environment, that would be really helpful. At least we'll know then, if anyone else has the same problem.
This procedure creates a new text layer. The arguments are kept assimple as necessary for the normal case. All text attributes,however, can be modified with the appropriategimp_text_layer_set_*() procedures. The new layer still needs to beadded to the image, as this is not automatic. Add the new layerusing gimp_image_insert_layer(). 0852c4b9a8
