In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionI wonder if I actually have to shut off my computer between tries…

In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionI reopen GIMP before I set the text color to red, obviously.

In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionThis is so frustrating.
I’ve closed GIMP repeatedly. I set the text color to red. I open a new copy of the image. The box is red, I type and asterisk… and it’s black.
Sigh.

In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionBother!!!
I think I’m doing the exact same things… but I can’t get red asterisks on the final document for that page…
Sigh

In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionOh wait, one more question… Is there a way to put a link on top of an image????
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionOkay, I don’t know why it is that when you tell me something, and then I do it, it works.
I now have xxxx in black, and asterisks in red.
I don’t know how you do it, but I’d sure like that kind of miraculous ability to help. 🙂
As an aside the help on the GIMP forum was far more techy and really nothing to do with why it wasn’t working.

In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionHappiness! I’ve now got red asterisks, based on figuring you started with a new image.
But… how to now switch to black for the xxx over the social security number…

In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionHi CrouchingBruin ~~ Okay do you think it’s related to how GIMP saves tools that you’ve used. If I used the Contrast tool in the color thing, then GIMP brings it up over and over again.
So, you didn’t ever use my IRS image before. When you went to use the text editing tool there weren’t any saved things in it. So, you got red. Whereas, when I’ve previously used xxxx over my social security number, in black, GIMP thinks I still want to use black… Could that be it?
I know I’ve cleared the text preferences a few times. It could be after one of those clearings that red worked.
Also, if I use an image previously saved in GIMP, then maybe I can’s change the text color if it is already established???
Could you write the steps you used to get the red. I could open a previously un changed image of the document from my file and then follow the steps.
See, the image is too large to put into SiteBuilder and change, the way I do with many images…

In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionWow, I just realized that you actually put a red asterisk on the image…

In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionWeird, I wrote a reply, CrouchingBruin, but after posting… it wasn’t there. So, I must have done even that wrong. Sigh.
Yes. I get that button. it’s red. The text however doesn’t change to red. The font, the size of the font, all that changes when I change the properties but no red.
Yesterday I became exhausted and gave up. I closed the program and forgot about it. But later I still wanted the red asterisks, so I opened it. Low and behold the red asterisks worked, but I hadn’t opened the page I wanted them on… On that page… the red once again would not work.
I’ve not been able to get color to work again.

In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionYes, I’m pretty sure that’s what I did… at least 20 times. The color in the little box changes, but the text doesn’t.
Only, when I gave up, closed the program, forgot about it but then returned, It worked. Only the page that I’d opened wasn’t the one I needed the red asterisk on.
On the correct page… it would not work.
I must be doing something wrong, but I can’t figure out what.

In reply to: [Montezuma] GIMP questionThanks Andrew. I signed up there.
I asked here because I have a brain injury and often can’t grasp answers, even though they are excellent.
I’ve been fortunate to find CrouchingBruin who writes in a way that I can follow. I’d hoped he might put it into words… I thought maybe I could get it then.
