curving a selection in a layer
#5
Sorry, but this has become a question for linux users these days.
Which version of Gimp 2.10.x ? Which installation package ? From repo / flatpak / snap / ubuntu PPA

Important because some come without python support. Is the there a Python-Fu entry in the Filters menu.

If you have python the easiest way is one of Ofnuts plugins ofn-text-along-path.py from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pat...s/scripts/ about 3rd one down at the moment. Unzip, read the help files, put the plugin in you plug-ins folder.

That bends the text along a curved path and makes a new text shape as a path. Use that to colour in as your example.

There are other ways, I have an old Gimp script-fu that does similar. You can also use Inkscape to make the text and import into Gimp.
