batch adding text - rex - 03-25-2023
Hello. I have a problem: I need to create 300 invitations. The invitations consist of the same graphic to which I need to add the details of the invited people.
How can I automate this in Gimp?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Why Gimp.
With ImageMagick: https://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/annotating/
But frankly, this is a job for your word processor: create a page, insert the image, and add a text area over it, and your office suite (Libre Office or MS Office), has a way to obtain data from a spreadsheet and put it in the text and print the page. This is typically used to prepare mailings. For instance: https://books.libreoffice.org/en/WG71/WG7114-MailMerge.html

what are the "details" of people? a picture of them with names? Need more info on how they are stored...
It's possible with GIMP/G'MIC, but all will depend how your "details" are stored, otherwise see Ofnuts solution
