No, but your tutorial on the flowing text the Esper linked is exactly what I was loping for. I don't suppose you have any helpful hints on how I can do this easier? Here is a shot of my first try…I was hoping to be able to make the text more warped to show more detail of the person underneath, rather than just use a transparency of the pic to tell who it is. If that makes any sense. I got lost in the tutorial, and ended up just mapping the text to a desaturated pic, but it didn't warp enough to tell what it was so I had to add the faint pic behind the text.

Sorry, I rushed through the thread and didn't see esper's post. I'm going to try and rewrite the tutorial because people are finding it difficult to follow.

rimfire, that is pretty interesting. I think I will try using that along with ideas from both Erisian and Esper.

But, alas, my g'mic version is too old to have that filter. And I have to wait for Partha to make an updated McGimp with the latest g'mic before I will have that filter.

you are aware there is a web-based G'MIC ?

oops, I totally forgot all about that! Thanks for the link, I will definitely bookmark it!

*so i tried it with the online Gmic…works nicely except I cannot actually use the exact text I want, only the letters, not full words. But when I hit download, nothing downloads, it just goes to some web address that has nothing on it.
**screen shot when I hit download button..all I get is a blank white window.
