In this beginner-friendly GIMP text tutorial, I show you how to easily create an "interactive," outlined picture-in-text effect that makes main objects or subjects in your photo appear to be intertwined or interacting with your text. This is a great technique that I often see used in professional advertising or artistic works for more eye-catching and advanced looking text. Take your text editing and photo manipulation to the next level with this quick tutorial!
