Re: [Gimp-user] Text that changes colour depending on background colour?

[Pat David <patdavid gmail com>]

I'm assuming you'll have two layers.  The bottom layer is the black graphic
of a bat.  The top layer is your text.

Make sure your text color is white.  Then just change the layer blending
mode of the top (text) layer to "Difference".
