Gimp Tip: How to Give Text a Shiny Raised Appearance

Here is a quick, easy way to give text a shiny raised appearance.

First, type your text. Then right click on the text layer and choose alpha to selection. From the menu, choose select and then shrink. Shrink your selection till about the inner one fourth of the letters are selected.



 Then feather the selection by about 10 px (menu>  select>  feather) Next create another layer and name it "highlight." Fill in your selection with white paint and reduce the opacity to about 57 or whatever looks good.
