[@felixandme]

Thank you, that was very helpful.

[@avinashDsilva]

excellent tutorial

[@coronel4]

i love this tutorial the only thing that does not come out right is my text does not line up on the line it comes out way on top of it. What am i doing wrong.

[@thongjoon]

@ndirgantari
thanks for your comments.

[@ConsideritConsidered]

thank you so much!
the other online tutorials I found were bunk
btw your accent is mesmerizing @.@

[@LandofBobiness]

Thank you sir! Very helpful!

[@Iewkas]

Good tutorial. Love the accent;)

[@alectoforce]

Hello! Tks a lot for the help. Meanwhile, it's been 4 hours I'm trying to do the same as your video and every time I do : Select --> None (5'35), my text simply diseappear. Do you have any idea??

[@venkiks]

Thank you, Mr. thongjoon.

[@Cambaudio]

Thank you for the tut man.

[@tjp2109]

Thank you for the upload. A suggestion, when rotating the text near the end, make sure to instruct to use the "layer" option when rotating the separate layers instead of "transform". Also please instruct on the initial creation of your logo. Was it created as a new doc completely transparent, etc. Thanks!

[@tmmygrl100]

This helped alot- thanks :)

[@thongjoon]

@alma2sioux
thanks for your comments. GIMP is a great program. I will try some more in English. (Do not take it as a promise, though.)

[@anjaschreiber8880]

Helped me a lot!Thanks!

[@thongjoon]

+Curanderas World You're welcome.

[@felixandme]

I did the same. I think it was that I hadn't clicked the "path" button in the rotate menu as he pointed out. Or it was too big/long text.

[@keithburgess3755]

I had the same problem. Check in the Layers menu, you will see the option there.

[@DinoNucci]

After I rotated the text I was left with an outline of where the text used to be. hhmm?

[@MSKChess]

Was so awesome, thanks

[@blueops1474]

Text along path isn't popping up for me

[@sunshineross4590]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You Sir!

[@fellerbuncher]

yeah!!! you save my life...thanks!!!

[@njconstantino2392]

Thank you!

[@Spiniferful]

Thank for the help! I was getting really frustrated trying to figure it out...

[@wendethr970]

Same here Dan, I also got a secondary text and couldn't change the color or I'd just kept it. any suggestions anyone?

[@LiLar0mantic]

my gimp 2.8.2 has no "text along path" button? :/

[@Lkfarkas1]

Thank you, thank you!

[@Shaunh99]

Many thanks

[@prometheuscomplex1]

"path" no options?
It's completely blank.
No tweaking.

[@IbisNergal]

Thanks a lot.

[@monikaberndt]

omg, thanks a lot. that was my problem too

[@Realitytvscandals]

I don't have the "text along path" option?

[@Nejmen.]

This is an old version of GIMP

[@abicarless486]

Try right clicking it, I found mine that way.

[@Nejmen.]

Abi Carless yeah i've found it :) thanks anyway! :D

[@abicarless486]

I'm pleased :D

[@sonyj87]

WOOW.....THANKS ALOT...

[@AhmedElAgha1]

You should find "text along path" under the "Layers" menu..

[@GrainatePanprom]

Good trick, ขอบคุณครับ

[@mojoe60]

thank you very much

[@MyStardollSweet]

Thank you very much
:)

[@thongjoon]

Maybe try other fonts with different sizes.

[@kemkaeng1]

ขอบคุณครับ

[@lyn1337]

OH! You can flip the path.. thanks!

[@03pontiac]

lol...slo-po rodriguez
nice video tho.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge 8)

[@11edneud]

gracias :D

[@warizz]

ขอบคุณครับ :)

[@1hannibalofcarthage]

Everything goes smoothly to me until 2:20. I dont have a Text Along Path Button, or indeed a Path From Text Button!!! eek!

[@SeaJayBelfast]

I need to buy a dooft for my doooft player

[@SUPERCR0WL]

Life is like a circle... Not like a twiangle.

[@judithledergerber2317]

it is good but I can't hear your voice

[@jaredjones4786]

What the flip am I doing wrong!?

[@flaspohlerfarmsinc2881]

You have not given enough instructions with this video. First you need to tell the user that you need to open the images in layers.
Second, on my screen "Text along path" was not at the bottom of my dockable menu, so I had to go up to the menu and find it. That is why you should show the WHOLE screen not just three fourths of it. If there is more than one way to do a particular step show ALL the ways to perform that step.

[@thongjoon]

Thank you for your comments

[@UKKorby]

LMAO!

[@MyStardollSweet]

Thank you very much
:)
