I have a gimp layer with some text. What I want to do is select the text and then clone a pattern from elsewhere on the drawing (from another layer) onto the text outline. So far no luck.
I make the text layer active. I can select the text using the Select by Color tool and I can do a Bucket Fill of a solid color into the selection, but I cannot clone into the selection. I have tried a number of other things such as Text to Path without any success. Of course I can accomplish what I want by merging the layers and then selecting the text, but, if possible, I would like to do this in some way that doesn't lose the text layer. One other thought I had was to duplicate the layer and then convert that layer from text to graphics, however I don't see any way to accomplish this. Any suggestion?
