My most common use case for text: adding text to a photo for something like a greeting card or a poster, sometimes intended for the web and sometimes for print. So I start with a photo (anywhere from 2 to 12 megapixels) and add some kind of banner text in a fancy font. Typical workflow: - open a photo (fairly high resolution) - with the text tool active, click in the image - type some text (now the text is about 3 pixels high, since it defaults to 18 px). - play around with the size, color, and font face until it looks good That works if I use the Tool Options, but I've found that I can't use 2.7's new on-canvas box for any of that, because it only works on whatever text is selected. Initially I can't select anything because the text is too small to see (if I try, I always end up missing the first few characters). Even after I enlarge it from Tool Options, selecting the text covers it with a yellow box so I can't see how the text looks against the background. I'm sure there must be a way around this (I can't be the only person who adds text to high-res photos). I'd love to hear other people's 2.7 workflows for that. ...Akkana _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
