  • I think this method works great for a flat background color, but when trying it myself the outline still looks rough. but I am trying to get it to work for a gradient background.

    The reason I’m trying to use a gif as opposed to a PNG is the PNG problem in IE6 as it just shows a gray box when transparency is used.

  • I am trying to render text in Gimp 2.6.2, then curve it, then make the background transparent, then save it as a Gif/jpg file and import it into Pagemaker and place it over a picture to see the picture right through it!

    Can it be done?, if anyone can help – then, thank you! electricwillman@gmail.com. i am desperate! really would like to solve it, been working on this problem (off+on) x 4 months!
