I like GIMP! ... But I don't know how to make secrets in GIMP either. About the only thing I know how to do in GIMP is tweak color and occasionally take out a background. (Badly, at that.)

So I use a combination of paint, Picasa and GIMP. It's way too involved, lol.

I use Paint.NET myself, and it's actually pretty neat. I was very proud of myself for using layer effects to make a very spifftastic secret once! :D

There are so many sites I've never even heard of...this being one of them. Now I want to see if I can make a decentish secret with it too!

I can teach you how to outline text in GIMP.

* Type your text.
* Layer -> Transparency-> Alpha to Selection selects the text. (I have no idea why this is in the Layer menu.)
* Select -> Grow makes the selection area larger by a few pixels.
* Create a new layer and put it between the text layer and the image layer, then select that new layer.
* Edit -> Fill with BG Color. Use whatever color you want the outline to be.

It's clunky, but it works.

(The really hard trick is to import two images into GIMP and combine them into one image. I never remember how I did it when I actually get it to work.)

Thanks! I'm gonna attempt it later; I've always done text in Picasa.

I never would've found this out on my own, lol.
