GIMP doesn't like you having alpha on the lowest layer of an image. You'd need to add a solid background underneath it before you could add an alpha channel.

Erm..maybe my question is lame...but how do you make the text glow in GIMP?

Glowing Text: Select the layer with the text on and apply one of the script-fus such as "glowing hot".
Outline text: Select the layer, and contour / colour select the transparency. invert selection and stroke selection. There's also the option of selecting from text but i can't remember where it is.
Hope that helps.
Yupe...I kinda understand it now...I'll try it...thanks anyway
EDIT:can anyone teach me how to do a glowing text similar to the attachment I've attached?

I tried to make this but it ends up cutting the rest of the sig

If i'm not wrong...try creating a new layer before putting on the text and finally use the glowing text script-fu.I tried to make this but it ends up cutting the rest of the sig

It doesn't work!
It turns out like this (the image is attached)
It'll cut it I'm afraid, just copy the layers that give the effect you want and undo to go back to before you script-fu'd and paste that into your sig. You might also want to increase the size of the text layer (layer -> layer boundary size) or it'll cut off some of the glow too...I tried to make this but it ends up cutting the rest of the sig
Also contour select is the little wand on the top row of the main gimp window to the left of the colour selection. (Its actually called contiguous regions, sorry if that confused you).
For everyone who wants to make a simple banner at GIMP
new tut coming tomorrow
Sorry for the double post but I made a new tut
Please check the attachment because the tut was too big to fit at Photobucket!
Enjoy

GIMP can't have a single text layer with more than one font color right? I just made this:
i had to make two separate layers for the warriors part. Since photoshop is on my other comp and this laptop is too slow, i have to use GIMP.
Yeha you have to use two separate layers!But that's awsome
Way better than mine! How did u do the lighting??
A Flare?
