[14:48] <sayakb> johnc4510: hello
[16:59] <tyche_> Yep.  It would mean keeping an .xcf file, making the change there, then flattening the image and saving as jpg.
[16:59] <tyche_> In .xcf format, the text can be changed simply by double clicking on it.   But it's still a process.
[17:00] <sayakb> (if you save as jpg, you wont need to flatten the image)
[17:01] <sayakb> should do it automatically.. same applies for PNG and other raster formats
[17:02] <tyche_> Yep.  But flattened, the text becomes part of the image.  That's why one uses layers and xcf.
[17:02] <sayakb> ofcourse
[17:03] <tyche_> I've been doing this sort of stuff for years.  Worse, I've been doing it in AutoCAD, then switching off and on layers depending on what I needed.
[17:03] <kennymc0> ah bragging now i see
[17:04] <tyche_> It's really a trip when you 3D the ground around a factory, then use layers to show the original and the developed versions of the plot plan.  Even more so when you develop 3 or 4 different solutions for the developed plot plan.  About 30 meg worth of drawing file.
[17:05] <kennymc0> bet they apprieciated that
[17:05] <kennymc0> tyche_: you seem to be beside yourself
[17:05] <tyche_> I used to drive the boss crazy with the fact that I could just switch a couple of layers and show him a topological map of what the changes would look like.
[17:06] <kennymc0> hee hee
[17:06] <sayakb> :D
[17:07] <tyche_> That particular boss was in charge of the plants and grounds, so I ended up doing the same sort of thing for the batch plant (where the concrete was mixed and poured from)
[17:07] <kennymc0> it seems like you enjoyed the work you did with that job
[17:07] <tyche_> He could look at it from any angle, I could switch off the skin, so he could see the inside of the tower, including the mixer, fans, etc.
[17:08] <tyche_> Yep.  I did.  It was a challenge, and definitely stretched my abilities.
[17:08] <kennymc0> that's always a good thing
[17:08] <tyche_> Saved his butt a few times, too, when he'd come up with an idea and I could show him, in 3D, why it wouldn't work.
[17:09] <kennymc0> and it's always fun to annoy a boss by doing something better than he/she can
[17:09] <kennymc0> hee hee
[17:09] <kennymc0> i bet he apprieciated that
[17:10] <kennymc0> :)
[17:10] <tyche_> It got to the point where he'd actually start asking my opinion about how to make things work.
[17:10] <tyche_> And THAT was good.
[17:10] <kennymc0> usually that's a possition that would get you better pay but i bet you got paid the same
[17:11] <tyche_> When I left that job I was $1 over the national "BASE" pay for that position.  I got a $5 raise just coming out to Arizona
[17:12] <kennymc0> well that must have been nice
[17:12] <tyche_> And that was as a temp.  I got another $1 raise when I went permanent.
[17:13] <kennymc0> yeah i've tried a couple of temp agencies and one flat out told me not to come in because they had no possitions for me and didnt expect to get any soon
