I don't think the text is supposed to change, the background is. Then you should be able to "hide" the text somehow, by clicking the eye for the text layer in the layers box. Maybe you need to flatten it first? Or maybe you should select the text layer, and not the background/pattern layer, or vice versa. *shrugs* IIRC, there are also special fonts that fake this effect, if that is also your desire... although there should be a method like this with bump map that works. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
