As suggested by Eli you can use TextDistorsion plugin then Rotate / Zoom. I put two dots, one at the beginning and the other at the end of the text, which you can then delete. Use a transparent layer.

Maybe there is something wrong with my computer.

Thanks @Pixey, but I tried the same thing as you and everything works perfectly. @Rick, Here is the file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/tnagcape7lt4c5f/image.zip/file Just open it and try to save to get the error.

I repeated the steps taken with my image and after I hit Enter I received the following error: After adding a layer and drawing something I was able to save the file as .pdn. After I merged the layers I could also only save as .png and not .jpg. On the unmodified image, however, they get the same error. It's a jpg image not too big.

Changing the Quality or the Subsampling does not have any effect.

After a few crops on an image I try to save but I can not:

Thanks lynxter4. A small variation to get a candy text...

Thanks for your answers midora and B². B², you're right, I'll update your plugins.

Rich Text Effect Plugin seems a VERY VERY useful plugin. It reminds me of text pro1.1

Try Scan Tailor, is free.

I did a test and I did not resize the character and I did not change the resolution. Is 96 dpi default. The printed result is very good.
