Using GIMP 2.8.22, Making "lossy-ness" around smaller images disappear
#9
Quote:How do I add text --OR-- text IMAGE under my happy clock-ish face image? I need to include my company name under the image, and the entire presentation will be my company logo. I think I want the text of my company name to look like it's written either with paintbrush strokes or with crayon

You can paint in your image using one of the standard Gimp brushes. There is a 'Chalk' brush. As a one-off that might be the way to go.

Using a font and the text tool.

Lots of fonts if you search. Example https://www.1001freefonts.com/crayon-fonts.php Note, some are Free or Public Domain, some Free-for-personal-use, some require a payment, which might be small for a 'Donate-to-Designer' whatever you can afford.

Quote:But I don't even know what GIMP has for text font; maybe it already has "crayon" letters.... How can I check?

You can add a downloaded font. I do not know how competent you are with the Gimp text tool so you probably know most of this already.

Gimp 2.8 / Win 10 Using the Text tool and adding fonts. https://youtu.be/kYVNskcPKcM quite long about 5 minutes.

Quote:And how do I put either text or a text image under my existing image? (Again, I'm working with GIMP 2.8.22)

You increase the canvas size Image -> Canvas Size and fit your text in the space created.

All much the same if using Gimp 2.8 or Gimp 2.10
