Info chart on photo

Hi,

Can you help me try to immulate this "info" chart.

What is the easiest way to insert numbers/letters surrounded by squares or circles (depending on the score according to par the golfer makes (Bogey = square, birdie = circle)

Please see attachment for illustration :-)

Is this just a one off; or are you doing a whole bunch of them on a regular basis? If the latter, it will be worthwhile putting in a little extra effort and creating a template.

I do know there are fonts with numbers in circles/squares: https://www.dafont.com/numberpile.font & https://www.dafont.com/cd-numbers.font

Another way, is make a Gimp brush to 'stamp' the circle/square, if you make a greyscale image and export as a .gbr, the brush can take the FG colour.  example https://i.imgur.com/w7vDIss.jpg

Or as Blighty pointed out make a template. I went a bit overboard with this to see how much effort it takes. Mainly duplicating layers in Layer groups. 

It then becomes a matter of toggling visibility on/off for various layers. Scores are text layers with zero as a marker to be replaced. example https://i.imgur.com/xSgPtwf.jpg

I do think that the size of the image will come into it, 800 pix wide I think is about the minimum, smaller than that and numbers become pixellated. Up to you what size you use but larger is better.

FWIW example attached.
