Re: [Gimp-user] Adding a text box
You don't say why you want to do this. Is it for a website, or for an illustrated book? In either case, I would suggest looking at alternative ways of associating the image and the text. If it is for a webpage, then you should be able to put the text in a sidebar or caption. Same for a book. It depends on the capability of your editor. GIMP is for editing images and while it can do text, that is not its primary purpose and it may be the wrong tool for the job.

Re: [Gimp-user] Adding a text box
As Tom said: Do you mean for a caption or something? Have you tried extending the canvas size, of your photo, and adding a text layer in the newly created space? Do this: • Image > Canvas Size • Add some inches to the height (be sure to UNLINK the two measurements) • Resize layers > NONE • Fill with > White (your choice) • DO NOT check "Fill with" • Resize Type text on the white bar at the bottom.

[Gimp-user] Adding a text box
Hi Folks, I am wondering if it is possible to attach a text box to the outside of a photo, for photos that don't have room to place a text box inside the confines of the picture.
