Yes but the like the bg of the image in black! The text in white and the outline in blue

[atlanteay]

yeah, i changed the bg to white because it was transparent at first. Anyways,

you have to set the foreground to the color of the stroke you want and the background to the color of the text.

Then, you delete the background layer and make a new transparent layer.

New layer again, put the text in. Merge down the text layer to the invisible layer because the text layer has that restriction box around it that would affect the stroking.

Then right click on the text layer and select "Alpha To Selection"

Go to Edit> Stroke Selection

Pick the stroke style and edge style you want and press ok.

It would fill the entire text and stroke to the foreground color. So go to Edit> Fill with BG color (white)

then, make another layer beneath it and fill it with black. If your sig is already black, then you can skip this step.

Cool thanks Lant No one in GIMPtalk solved the problem Thanks

[Little Blue]

Can't you just click create path with text (with the text layer active), create a new layer and stroke path. That should give you a layer of text outline that you can work with how you wish. eg, colour fill inside and out on duplicate layers if you want to preserve the original outline on a seperate layer, or am I just rambling a bit

My GIMP is not working. I will open a file or paste one on, and I will try to use the square to crop the image, and it won't let me. It won't let me do anything.

Re-installed the gimp in case there was a virus, and it still is not working.

Does anyone know why this is?

[Polaris]

Which version of GIMP is it?
