You could start with a grayscale image, convert it to RGB and using levels (at least, maybe other tools) change an image of blacks, whites and grays to an image of reds. Here is a tutorial that utilized this bug: https://web.archive.org/web/20010107023700/http://at8.abo.fi:80/~mwikholm/com/gimp/tutor/glass/ I suspect that it has always been this way.

This is just great! carol _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
