At the end, should you feel the white background to not be adequate, you can highlight the Background layer, select the Bucket Fill Tool, and proceed to add a bit of color.

Other than that, select the GIMP logo layer and move it into the position you want in the thumbnail. If you choose to do so, the directions are the same. This will ensure that you delete the background to transparent and not to white or black color. Right-click it and select Add Alpha Channel. In the lower-right corner of your screen, select your image layer.

It’s not necessary but we decided to add a shadow to the GIMP logo. To turn your image’s background transparent using Fuzzy Select, follow the steps below.

The Text along Path command among text commands in the Layer menu. If you create your path before the text, the path becomes invisible and you have to make it visible in the Path Dialog.

Merge Down the Drop Shadow layer on top of your text layer. When your text is created, then create or import a path and make it active.

To avoid a shift in the image, uncheck the box marked Allow resizing before pressing OK.

However, since our background is white, black is perfectly fine.

You could change the color of the shadow to make it more visible on the backdrop, say for instance if your background was black it would be better to choose a brighter color.

For the thumbnail we selected ‘ 8’ in both X and Y, ‘ 20’ in blur radius, and cranked the opacity to ‘ 100’.

Go to Windows > Dockable Dialogs > Layers to open the Layers palette (if it isn't visible. Select the Move tool, then position the graphic in the desired location. Select Convert if prompted to convert the image to RBG. Choose the graphic you want to use as a watermark, then select Open. We can then drag the image off to the side so that it’s out of the way for our text until we need to reposition it. Open the image in GIMP and go to File > Open as Layers.If you follow the instructions illustrated above, adjust the image width and height to 200px. The layer image is a 1200 x 1200 which is much too large for our primary image at 680 x 400.

Select the GIMP logo you downloaded earlier and click Open. So, open the “File” tab and this time select Open As Layers… just as we did for the arrow during Image Rotation.

The best thing to do is add your additional layer now, that way once we begin adding the text, we’ll be able to adjust it so that it doesn’t block out the image.

You can choose to color the background however you like using the Bucket Fill Tool in the Tool Doc, but for now, we’ll keep it white.

We should now be looking at a blank (white) canvas.

Watch the full tutorial till the end to know more about it. As for the height, we’ll keep it at 400px. In this video,I show you how you can create a transparent text effect in GIMP.

Unfortunately, Internet Explorer does not recognize these. Our thumbnails are never any larger than 680px width, so we’ll set our image size as such. text, jPEG is preferable because the file size is smaller.) When storing.
