Ah, the Gradients Dialog was not up there with the Layers, Channels, Paths, etc. It is now and now I can see what you are talking about.
While GIMP has it’s weirdnesses, it’s UI is superior to the current Photoshop CC “flat & grey” look that’s stricktly out of the 1980s. AND GIMP fits on my screen. Plus, GIMP users are majorly helpful. Thank you, Rick S.

Then somebody's missing something, and I don't believe it's me... On the Gradient Editor there are buttons to save the current settings, or zoom the gradient display shown in the box. It does not include a command to duplicate the gradient. On your Gradients palette, there should be a row of five icons at the bottom -- Edit, New, Duplicate, Delete, and Refresh. Likewise, right-clicking on a specific gradient (or checking the arrow menu at the upper-right) should reveal a context menu of similar options. Lastly, if you go to Edit > Preferences and look at the Folders section, you should have one or two entries for the Gradients folder (typically under your user path and program path) and at least one of them should be flagged as "writable". -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Rick Strong mailto:rnstr...@primus.ca Sent: Monday, December 19, 2016 7:23 PM To: Richard; Mark Morin; gimp-user-list@gnome.org Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Gradient tool : how to modify the gradient ?
