I knew you must be able to. Then again, I have only got limited knowledge of Gimp. I have used it many times but my knowledge of the app is not as in-depth as Inkscape. It stands to reason that Gimp could do it too.
@@ButtonPressGraphics yes, I have found that many Linux begun or orientated programs have this feature for some reason. I don't use gimp much either, or Photoshop.
@@SteveMacSticky I don't either. Inkscape has a lot of things covered, even image manipulation. This is why it is still by far, my favourite design tool.
It is indeed. I simply used it as n example of a method that is commonly used. FYI - I simply created a ellipse over the text > Duplicated the text > Held Shift to select both the duplicated text and the ellipse > Then used the shortcut of Ctrll+* (Intersection) as the boolean command. I have used this method many times but if you would like a full tutorial on how to do it, I would be happy to do so. #StayCreative
@@geoffphil You are correct once again my friend. It could indeed. However, I usually use Intersection as that gives a lot more control for any further changes you make, like adding gradients or offsets for example. 😁
Rob, thanks for the great video. Could you share the image you generated using AI? I would like to reproduce the effect exactly as you did in the video.
@@dmpso Hello my friend. I will check if I still have it on my PC and if I have, I will post it in the Community section for you. I do not usually keep the AI pictures I use in my videos because I don't like to use AI generally unless I just require an example or reference. I like to create my work from scratch. Personal preference I suppose lol. Give me 5 my friend and then check the community tab 😀 #StayCreative
I just used this as an example but you are the second person to ask about it lol. So yes, of course I can & if you require a full tutorial on how to create designs like this, let me know. Here is the process: Enter the text you would like Duplicate the text by right-clicking & select Duplicate Create the shape you want to use (In the example I used a circle) Layer it over the top & get the placement where you would like it. Hold SHIFT and left click the duplicated text and the shape so both are selected. Go to Path> Select Intersection. And that is it. You will now have two layers, one is the text you originally entered and the second will be a cut out of the shape layered over the top. Any problems, let me know. I am happy to help. #StayCreative
Mathematical operators can also be used in gimp in size boxes etc

These are really cool, it was a while before I even realized they were there!
Me too, if I am completely honest lol. I was using Inkscape for about a year before I realized what the Blend modes were for 😁
Excellent thanks Rob. I couldn't follow how you got the text intersecting with the ellipse - was it just an intersection boolean command?

@@ButtonPressGraphics Thanks! That's how I would have tried to do this. I guess a clipping mask could also be used.

Could you please explain more , how to do make this happen from 1:42 to 1:49;too quick to follow thanks
