Step 4 ¶ĭuplicate the text layer again and move it to the top of the Layers stack (use the little up facing arrow head on the Layers, Channels, & Paths dialog). means “Keep Transparency” this will ensure that any transformations or fills made to that layer will only affect the non-transparent part of the image. You can do this easily by dragging the white color swatch from the toolbox over to the image (assuming that the highlight layer is currently selected).
box on the Layers, Channels, & Paths dialog, and fill it with white. The highlight layer needs to be white, so select that layer, check the Keep Trans. One for the highlight effect (highlight) and one for the shaded part of the effect (lowlight). Step 3 ¶ĭuplicate the text layer (text) twice. Do so by accessing the Layers menu (right click or Control+Click on the layer you wish to operate on) and select Layer to Imagesize. It will help to change the layer size to that of the image. If you use GIMP FreeType then it is done for you, otherwise click the New Layer button in the Layers, Channels, & Paths dialog (looks like a blank piece of paper). The text should be created as a new layer. Start by laying down some text that is wider than 400px and not too thin. I feel this size it adequate as my website at the time of writing uses 500px tables. I used a white background at 500px by 200px.
I’ve taken a lot of screen shots to support this tutorial, so enjoy :) Step 1 ¶įire up GIMP and create a new image. I’ll point out the differences as I go along. This is the same procedure I used to create the logo on my homepage, albeit with slightly different settings. The more experienced user may find some techniques here useful. This tutorial is aimed squarely at the novice GIMP user. Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Mel Boyce and may not be used without permission of the author.
