So helpful! I tried another tutorial before this that didn't work at all, yours was to the point and worked immediately :)

You made this sooooo simple. Thank you.

This is a great tool for the toolbox. Thank you for putting this out!

An extremely helpful tutorial, I am very helpful that I managed to make my image with this very cool effect! And with so many Fonts and Images...what a treat! Thank you so very much! 😍👌💖✨

Thanks for it, very good explained.

Thanks for your video

Thank you it worked well.

Thank you

thank you

Thank you Michael. I am a noob at 70 yrs old. Love your style. ONE QUESTION. Say I wanted to Change the opacity of the Black layer in your finished image so that the city would be showing through the black, and not the transparency squares? thanks

I hope I understood you correctly. You can "technically" invert the layer mask (under select --> invert). But it is easier to just keep the image as a background and write your text on top. This will show the city as a background (where the black layer is) while the text has its original color. Let me know if I misunderstood your comment.

@@MichaelBrig boy I really appreciate you getting back to me Michael. I like;y wasn’t clear or specific enough. Your completed project showed the black background, the transparent text revealing the cityscape. I wondered if the black background could be made less opaque to show more of the city in the background while maintaining the letters FULL transparency? I’m not even sure if this would look good, but I’m trying to get my head around layers, masks, channels, inverts, etc. again I appreciate the clear way you outlined this tutorial. It was the first one I could recreate successfully.

You can just put a copy of the city photo below the text layer and then try the opacity slider in the layers menu for the text layer. If you've got something specific in mind, send me a screenshot of the effect to my email address and I'll make a tutorial if I can re-create the effect.

I saw a point in this video in which I need to get to. I am using Gimp 2.10.36. I have my own art I want to edit some into Vector to put on T-shirts, Mugs, etc... I was able to get my art into the Gimp editor but not to where you had this CITY art to the Vector change. I tried to follow my previous way which was ... Tools + Selection + Fuzzy Select ... Select + Invert ... Edit + Copy ... File + Create from Clipboard ... Export as, then my chosen file, then Export. I did this but could not find the Vector change. This worked on the previous Gimp program. Any help would be appreciated. Gary ...

I am sorry, but I don't understand your problem. Do you want to vectorize an image with Gimp?
