Okay, one step at a time. New --- size, background transparent Text (Hello World) in white Dialogs -> Layers -> New Layer Filters -> Render -> Clouds -> Plasma In the Layer Dialog, Click on the text layer (I move it to the top, too (up arrow on the bottom)) Filters -> Map -> Bump Map Select the Plasma layer as the bumpmap layer play with the parameters click okay You can then (if you are done with it) delete the plasma layer (or just hide it) I suspect that what may be tripping you up is the the GIMP doesn't get rid of the bumpmap layer after bump mapping, and it may be higher in the stack than your text. Perhaps just deleting or hiding that layer will give you what you want?
