editing text layers - sophrichards - 11-02-2017
Hi
Ive just moved over from ps to gimp and am having difficulties with one thing.
When working with text layers, after a few further changes to the document, some layers will not allow me to go back in and change the text. The layer preview icon goes to a chequerboard and it is as if the layer has been rasterised or locked somehow..
Am i doing something stupid or doesnt GIMP allow you to...
Soph
EDIT - I appear to have solved it, by clicking on the layer then clicking on the text with the text tool, i then get an option to edit the text...

Unfortunately that is how Gimp works. Any changes to the text and it is rasterised. I usually duplicate the text layer and make changes to the duplicate. Then I have something to go back to if I want to make changes to the text.
