given that GIMP is 100% free with no restrictions. I think we should promote GIMP.

It adds that (fine) looking text. I don't think it needs to be fancy, it's just information for people to know that it is created/edited in GIMP . And you can use the 2nd and 3rd lines to promote gimpchat.com or gimpscripts.com or even your own site it's up to you.. but the important thing is to leave the first line "Created/Edited in GIMP" unchanged (nothing says you can't change it either, it's up to you.. but i think given that GIMP is free, that's something we all can do to promote GIMP).

EDIT: Oh yeah, if you have multiple layers, script will add alpha channel to all your layers if it doesn't already have one and the fine text will be added to all layers.

My plan is that when your images are posted anywhere on the net, it makes its way into google image searches and if people view it they'll know about GIMP...and increase our user base.

I was bored so i wanted to find images of Justin Bieber and make him rotate his head from left to right then right to left ..but couldn't see enough images of different angles..but there are many of him holding his elbow up.
So I thought i'd make him do elbow crunches instead.

glad you enjoy it Rod!

I installed it but did not get 'Multiline Text' box.How to to get it and how to fill it?

What do you see when you run script?

When you run the script, it should show up,
if not then look at your task bar (at the bottom), a flashing icon of a gimp window should be there, sometimes when you run a script the options window doesn't pop up in your face but stays hidden with flashing on the task bar, click on that and it will show you the options window.

Once the options window for script shows up, you just click on the text field that says something like "Created/Edited in GIMP" and change the text like you would any other text field.

It added a little smaller than I thought, but it's there. Might be nice if we could regulate the font size....
(I used G'MIC > Artistic > Colored Pencil & added the Decor at the bottom.)

Meemaw, good idea.

here's version 2

it allows you to change font and font size(pixels).

EDIT: uploaded to gimpscripts.com as well.
although i don't know why or how to change it to scripts and plug-in intead of announcement.

Awesome! The only reason I mentioned it was that it was very small on this photo... looks bigger now. Thanks!

Soon, we'll penetrate google image searches and herds of people will come

Tin - here we go again -

I thought why not add text-justification as well
so here's version 3

more details...

awesome...
But the paddle flashes.
So I examined your file and figure i can delete 2 frames to make it continuous rally.

Tin - that's better - I think I left the blank gradient background in!

RJKD said that this script runs and set all your layers blend mode to NORMAL.
So this version 4 of script saves layer modes before applying decor and then set them back to what they originally are afterwards.

Hello,
it is possible to change the text color?
With bright images there is nothing else to see.

Added link to post #1 of this thread to link to page with later versions. (version 5 just added allows color change of text and text back).

Hello, thanks for the change.
Regards Hardy111

They say that the simple ideas are the best.
Lets's hope this option idea becomes part of the next version of Gimp.
