How to Create Vertical Text in GIMP | Text Tool Basics

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

How are you using vertical text? Are you using mixed orientation or upright orientation? Let me know below👇

[@skelebro9999]

That's really helpful. Much better than aligning each letter one by one.

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Indeed - a much more efficient method.

*Thanks. This is something that has interested me for a long time.*

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Hope the video helped.

[@videoleaks]

@@DaviesMediaDesign, yes of course. 😀👍

Hi Michael, beautiful tutorial. 🔝👏👍A big hello.😉👍

[@glennet9613]

Thanks, I did another of your excellent tutorials to learn how to wrap text around a circle, this shows me how to wrap vertical text in the same way. It is actually for R B M A on a camera model.

I've been using Gimp for almost 20 years and never knew about this trick! Is it new for Gimp 2.10? Or has it been there for literal years and I've overlooked it? 😅

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

It's been there for quite some time as far as I know. GIMP is always full of surprises!

Thank you sir‼️🫡

[@azexmail]

Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Is there a way to have the text read vertically, left to right but from bottom to top as opposed to from top to bottom? The only mixed orientation setting I can find leaves the text with the top of the letters to the right hand side of the canvas and the bottom to the left. Thanks.

My same query

[@how-to-honcho]

did you ever find out how to do this or no?

[@taksinwatanabe9362]

thank you!

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Thanks for watching.

[@AngelsModz]

THIS would be wonderful but I dont have those options in gimp, I have left to righ and right to left, none of the other 1s.

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Thanks!

Any way of getting files from a couple of days ago that are not in the autosave folder any more anyway of getting those back? (in inkscape)

[@habibaahmed4296]

Keep it up!

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Thanks - will do!

[@newmail7475]

Thanks bro India

[@daft8906]

Wouldnt it be easier to just hit enter after every letter though?

[@naranlerlop8205]

I mean either way is fine but if you have like 10 characters or more, this way is much easier.

[@seanloughran6714]

Wow, why would they hide such functionality in a Right Click menu? The current text pop-up is so anemic, it really needs more options like this.
