To figure out GIMP, you must be one with many layers.

Imagine quantum entanglement across branes in a multi-verse. Stick with 4-D math in each brane (close enough for cooks) and keep the number of layers small until you are more secure in your efforts.

Also, it helps to read the manual. And study some of the more obscure asian religions.

Big trick is when you render a pic, mash the layers flat into a .jpeg and run with it.

GIMP. The Cook's version. Your mileage may vary. Not responsible for accidents.

Once I have figured out how to apply text to an image, I’ll work on the meshing the layer thingies... heh

Yeah, and how about “Little Debbie’’? Can’t swear to it and of course one must not speak ill of the dead but I think that the Ol’Doughboy and ‘’Debbie’’ were playing their own kind of ‘’Pattie Cake’’, nudge, nudge, know what I mean ,eh, eh?

Open one of the OpenOrifice apps and type the text that you want, close to, or the same font, close to, or the same size. Use GIMP to determine the actual size of the jpeg (resize image will give you the info).

Save the text as an image. Yes, you can do that. Even in the word processor program.

Open another window in GIMP with the text image, make the background transparent instead of white, copy and paste into the image you want to modify.

It's so easy a cook could do it.

I left out an important step... getting rid of the original text but retaining the background, but I've given enough hints. 5 layers, to do it fast. 3 layers to do it with panache. ;)

I was able to delete the old text and left a checkerboard pattern under it, I was able to cover that and make the background look blank. I will now try your suggestion.

The checkerboard pattern means 'transparent' or 'nothing is there', but only on that layer. Think hole in empty space.

Using the eyedropper(color matching) and then the bucket(area fill) will fill that empty space with the appropriate background. I assume you did that, and not a rectangular cut and paste from a clean part of the background that leaves jaggies at the interface ;).
