Using the Text Tool with the GIMP 
Most of the time, it's best to use HTML text as real text if possible. But occasionally, like with banners you'll need to add text to your image. This text, once it's saved as an image is not read as text by the search engines, but merely as just a graphic image.
Adding text to the GIMP image is very easy and it involves using the Text tool.
- Click on the Text tool
 .
- Click on where you want to add the text and the text box opens.
- Type out your text and it will appear inside the canvas. Now you also change your text style with the properties box. You can choose a new font, change the color, justify, indent, and so on.
- Once your done, just close the text editor. You can also transform your text, with the scale, rotate, etc. tools from last lesson.
- Anytime you want to re-edit your text, click on the text tool, and select the text on the canvas.
Next up are the Paint Bucket Fill and Gradient Fill tools. These are fun to use...
