Can't get out of the text tool.
Back again... I was using the text tool and typed my message. When I was done with the text, I tried to go back to the paintbrush to touch something else up, but no luck. Is there something that is making me stay in the text tool. I can type another text box, but I can't use other tools. Any advice?

RE: Can't get out of the text tool.
You are probably on the wrong layer.
screenshots http://i.imgur.com/ANDTTFu.jpg Top to bottom 1. You made some text (now that it is miraculously working ![]() 2. Swap to the layer you want to paint in and no problem. See the border around the text has gone because it is no longer the active layer. 3. Want to edit the text again? For a beginner click on the text layer in the layers dialog. Select the text tool. Click in the text you want to edit. ** https://www.gimp-forum.net/ now answering questions** |

Probably a basic question, but where would I switch layers? I looked in the layers tab.
