[Gimp-user] apply gradients to the canvas/area , err msg: Blend does not operate on indexed layers

2008-11-23 Thread Avraham Makeler
Hi all,
Once I have finished defining my new gradient how do I apply the gradient to
the canvas/area?

What do I have to do with the gradient window, if anything?

How do I actually apply the new gradient. I have tried using the Fill tool,
and that just fills the area with the Foreground color, and I have tried
using the Blend Tool, but it tells me

Blend does not operate on indexed layers.

Am I supposed to be using that operation (Blend)? If so how can make my
layer not indexed?

Hi!

As http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-blend.html clearly says, the blend too is 
the correct one. It even tells you why it doesn't work in your case: Your 
image is in indexed mode: 
http://docs.gimp.org/en/glossary.html#glossary-indexedcolors
Simply convert it to rgb:
