Creating Golden Letters

Hi all,
I've been trying to create some nice golden (or another colour) letters
using this tutorial:
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Golden_Text/
In this tutorial Simon Budig get's as a result, a text with no golden
background, my problem is, I DO have a background, and I only need the text.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Michael,
Congratulations, you have spotted a bug ! The "transparent background"
checkbox in the options tab of the lighting plugin is indeed inoperative
if the bumpmap image is "grayscale".
As a workaround, what you can do is transforming your blurred text image
to RGB instead of grayscale, or more simply, create the text as a RGB
image from the beginning (to the contrary of what is stated by the
tutorial).
Best regards,
Olivier
