[Gimp-user] Am I stupid!? Changing color does not work
Hi all! I have an image and I want to change all colors into a different one. So what did I do: * Select region by color * switch to pencil tool opacity 100 mode normal circle big color the new I want and then I thought I can draw and the colors would be exchanged. Well, instead of a nice blue I get a smeary grey, strange. Looks like instead of *replacing* the values of the pixels some combination of the pixel values is done. I thought with opacity 100 this will not happen, but I seem to be wrong. Any idea/help???

Any idea/help??? i think you are probably painting an indexed image. change the mode to rgb using Image/Mode/RGB you are not stupid. your image is. carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If you are indeed editing an Indexed image, you may wish to leave it in Indexed Mode and open the Dialogs-Color Map window. This will allow you to individually change each of the colors in the image. This will be tedious if you have more than a couple dozen colors but if you have only a few (for example, a cartoon graphic), this is a quick and easy way to change the colors.
