- Put the text and its background (red disc) in a group
- Add a layer mask to the text, init to white and render a turbulent plasma in it
- Set the text layer blend mode toErase. This makes it act as an anti-mask on the image below, so the opaque part of the text will make its background transparent, and the image background will be seen
- Add some contrast to the mask (used Curves, but Brightness/Contrast and Levels are also possible)
Great, Ofnuts. Right before I created this thread, I was growing frustrated with not being able to accomplish this. I now have 3 different ways to do it; I'm going to save your instructions also. I've saved so much of yours and Rich's advice in various threads, not just threads that I ask for help in.
This place is a fantastic resource for Gimp users.
