How To Change Text In Header.

by sonnyboy

I am trying to alter some text in a header graphic. I have downloaded gimp but can't figure out how it works.:confused: All I want to do is delete some text and alter another line.

Can someone please point me to a gimp tutorial that even I can understand? Or even to another piece of software that will do the job.

Thanks.
Gordon.

    What is the file extension you have to work with? .psd? .jpeg?

      No sorry,Nathan. You've lost me.:confused:

    Ctrl + L will open the layers window in Gimp.

      Hi Gordon,

      I have the same problem! I recently purchased a web site, have uploaded all the content and database and am now trying to alter the header which has a psd file extension. Trying GIMP but the image I am working on must be flattened as I cannot seem to edit the text! Ctrl + L is not letting me edit the text.
      I am trying to download a trial version of Photoshop as it is expensive but hitting a brick wall with the download!

      Any suggestions?

    You need a PSD file or XCF file to get to the layer. If you have a jpg or gif and there is just a solid background, you could always just erase the text and add your own. Here's a video I made for my PLR website buyers that might help:
