[Gimp-user] GIMP question

[brad stevenson <bstevenson11 yahoo com>]

hello,

 

have been using gimp or a short time and am looking for some help.

i am trying to design thank you cards for multiple people using a picture and text.

i am trying to save a 'template' design with the picture and the bulk of the text, hoping to then be able to reopen the project and edit the text to change the name for each card.

 

i have tried save as template but when i open this through new image as suggested in the help section it only opens with the outline shape, no pictue or text.

when i save the image normally it flattens the image and i cant open just the text box to edit the text.

 

is there a way i can do what i want to?

 

Apologies if this is quite basic and covered somewhere, but I havent found anything to help.

 

Cheers
