Re: [Gimp-user] how to update an existing text in GIMP 2.6.11?

["Chenini, Mohamed" <MChenini geico com>]

Now, I can’t even see the text layer in the Layers window.

Can you explain, please, how to have the text layer show up?

 

Thanks,

Mohamed

In the layers window, double click on the Text Layer you made and you can edit it from there.

I just started using GIMP 2.6.11. and I added a layer of text in top of an image layer.

I did not find a way to update the text.

 

Would like to know how I can update the text.

Like this?

In the toolbox you press the "A" ("Text Tool"), then click on your canvas somewhere.Then type in the "GIMP Text Editor" window that pops up. You can then move the Layer of text around with the "Move Tool".

I believe the next version of GIMP is going to have a more intuitive text entry method.
