I have an image. I want to add simple text to it.
I want that text to be
white, not black.
What would you use to do this ?
Gimp!
Either select the right color before you start creating the text.
Or edit the text again and change the colors while editing.
Or make the text its own layer and fill the whole layer with the color
you want.
Or...
You could also try to do it on the commandline with "convert", but I
think Gimp is _much_ easier to use.
I prefer adding text to images using Inkscape.
Vector-based text comes
out much better than bitmap based text, at least to me.
After saving to a pixel-based format (and I believe that dave means
pixel-based when he talks about images) that advantage becomes nill. And gimp
afaik uses the same font-engine as inkscape to render text. And yes, inkscape
renders text! To screen and to the exported pixmap/image...
