[Gimp-user] How do you ddd effects to text?

[ead <forums gimpusers com>]

Hello everyone

I'm having to use Gimp for Mac at work and not sure how to directly add effects
such as gradient to text objects in GIMP.

The only workaround I found is to select certain text using Select by Color and
apply gradient to it. I have a feeling someone out there may know more efficient
ways to achieve the same gradient effect.

Please advise me if you know how.
