So now you have successfully added outline to your text in GIMP. Use Ctrl+Shift+A to de-select your current selection. Fill the outline of the text with a different color Mind that you fill the outer outline of the text, not the text itself. Now use the tool to fill black color to your selection. Select the desired color you want for the outline. Then go to the toolbox and select the bucket fill tool. The layers are visible at the right sidebar. Select your main image layer if it’s not already selected. Since my original text is of light color, I am going to use back color for the outline here. What you need to do now is to fill this enlarged selection with a choice of your color. Grow it by 5 or 10 pixel or whatever you prefer. Grow the selection on the additional layer This will allow you to grow the size of the text on the transparent layer. To do that, go to Select in menu once again and this time choose Grow. Step 3: Adding the text outline by increasing its size and changing its color What you need to do now is to increase the size of the text on this layer. Go to Select and choose From Pathīasically, you just created a transparent layer that has the same text (but transparent) as your original text. You’ll see that your text has been highlighted. Go to the menu again and this time go to Select and click From path.
You can give it a suitable name like ‘outline for text’. Make sure to add the new layer as transparent. Now, go to the top menu, go to Layer and add a new layer. Right click on the text box and select ‘Path from Text’ Step 2: Add a transparent layer with the text outline When you are done writing your text, right click the text box and select Path from Text. I’ll add a darker outline to this light text in this tutorial. I have deliberately chose a light color for the text so that it is difficult to read. I have kept the default left alignment of the text for this article. You can change the font, size and alignment of the text as per your choice. Now select the Text tool from the toolbox in the left sidebar. I have chosen the default white background. It is under the Advanced Options->Color profile. You may also choose if you want white background or a transparent background. You can select the size of your canvas here. You can also use Ctrl+N keyboard shortcut. Open GIMP and create a new file by going to the top menu->File->New.
You can also select a graphic border from the “Art” drop-down list.įor example, we chose the graphic border that displays a thumbtack on a page with the upper-right corner folded over.Step 1: Create your primary text and copy its outline The “Setting” options on the “Borders and Shading” dialog box allow you to choose a plain “Box” border, a “Shadow” border, a “3-D” border, or a “Custom” border where you can choose different options for each side of the border. Click “OK” once you’ve made your selections. If you select “Text”, the default “Margin” measurements change accordingly and all the check boxes in the “Options” section become available. Select whether to measure the margin for the page border from the “Edge of page” or “Text” in the “Measure from” drop-down list. To change where the border displays on the page, you can change the margins for the border. If you want to add a page border to a page in the middle of your document, insert a section break right before the page to which you want to add the border. Select an option from the “Apply to” drop-down list to apply the border to pages in the “Whole document”, just “This section”, “This section – First page only”, or “This section – All except first page”.
Now you need to tell Word to which pages you want to apply the border.
