Step 1: install and open GIMP
Step 2: Add a text layer; make some text in the text layer
Step 3: right click text layer shown in the lower-right corner of the editor, and then select alpha to selection
step 4: on the top-left there are a couple of drop-down options. Choose the selection option. Then choose from the drop-down the grow option. Grow the selection by about 15 pixels; this will depend on how big your text is.
step 5: make a new transparency layer
step 6: select transparency layer. Then fill the selection over the transparency layer with your choice of color. Fill using the Bucket Fill tool.
step 7: go to the top-left selection options menu. Then select none. We want to turn off the selection so that we can apply the blur properly
Step 8: right click the transparency layer with the filled color text outline. Go to filters, then go to Gaussian blur. And then apply a Gaussian blur that looks good to you
step 9: Your done! Now your text has an outer glow! :D

    So... this is to say gimp doesn't have a native outer glow effect..? That's shocking, and disappointing. Using outer glow on a text layer is one of the staples to me, in photoshop. To have to create this effect anytime I do a text edit is a time killer. I see gimp has a drop shadow - you'd think outer glow would be just as basic. I appreciate your tutorial as a workaround, but I'm truly disappointed in gimp.
