Re: [Gimp-user] multi-line text control
I brought up my version of Gimp (2.2.13), and used the regular text widget. If you press Enter while you're editing the text, it automatically expands the text that will be dropped onto the canvas. Keep in mind that I left the dialog displayed while I was typing the text (after having clicked on the text tool itself.

[Gimp-user] sharpening scanned images
Hi, I have images that I want to sharpen/tidy. Scanned of: maps, line drawings, logos, ... I want to prepare them for going into web pages. These are different from the images that the tutorials cover, they are: * several colours only needed. Small variations in colour should be eliminated as they aren't wanted and only serve to make the image file bigger. * edges need to be sharpened, little bits of detail ironed out since they are prob an aretfact of scanning. If several lines meet then they will probably continue in a straight, or constant curve, for some distance. I have done this sort of thing by hand, zapping unwanted pixels, flood filling areas (and using the same colour in other no-connected areas). Is there an easier way of doing this ? BTW: I only use the Gimp occasionally and must admit that I find it difficult/frustrating wandering around the menus trying to work out what things like the Gaussian Blur filter are. It would be nice if there was a tooltip or 10 line help that I could get on these. Guessing and trying them on my image is very time consuming. -- Alain Williams Parliament Hill Computers Ltd.

Not sure I understand exactly but you could try Layers-Levels and move the center marker.
