Create Gold Leaf Textures and Realistic Gold Text in GIMP

In this GIMP tutorial, I show you how to create your own Gold Leaf texture or Gold Foil texture, as well as how to use that texture to create realistic gold text. I also show you how to blend your text with a textured layer below, making it look like the gold leaf text has been stamped on object/texture (in this case I used a leather texture).
This graphic design tutorial is easy enough for beginners to follow and can be used to create any gold lettering mockup!

    Great tutorial. Easy to follow. As a Linux Mint user, I found the select text shortcut didn't work at first. But after a bit of research, I found a way around it. For other Linux beginners, Alt + click on text layer to select text in Windows is Alt + power (Windows) key + click in Linux Mint.

    hmm, I am still stuck! Do you mean Alt + Super + click? This does not work for me. I have tried all combinations of alt, ctrl, shift, fn and still cannot get the function. I am on Kubuntu. Anyone?

    Another detail that could make this realistic, like the "Gimp" engraved on the black leather, is to beavel the letters layer.

    I have 2.10.28. Gimic suggests downloading "latest dev" binaries. I have tried installing both the stable and the latest dev separately. Gimic shows up in Gimp under preferences-plug ins, but not a choice in Filters. Can you help me access Gimic in my newest version of Gimp?

    I tried to download this just now and the Windows executable would not download correctly (plug-in for GIMP) and when I tried the Zip File Windows Defender complained that there was something bad going on, so this may no longer be a good file to use.

    How do you create text with gradient where like you got 40% of the text up and down white and the tiny middle bit of the text like grey creating like a metal text

    You could simply use the "brushed aluminum" gradient in GIMP (it's in the list of default gradients when choosing the gradient type).

    Everything worked up until the alt click to select the text. I did not select my text like that and allow me to right click on the gold leaf layer.
