RE: GIMP <> TIF layers

["Ed" <hamonwry12 -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

I don't know if it supports multi-layer TIFF, but I often find paint.net as
a comparable replacement to the GIMP.

www.getpaint.net.

It is possible that there is a plug-in for it. 

I often find that creating a layer that covers the existing text with the
surrounding background color, and then simply inputting the new text, is a
quick and dirty way around this.

Good luck!
