Re: [Gimp-user] gradient tool

[Helen <etters h gmail com>]

I appreciate the responses, which led me to experimenting.  I don't seem to have the Gradient Editor.  I guess it's time to upgrade from gimp 2.6.  But even if I did have the Editor, I can see that it's beyond my level.  
Thanks all -- I'll keep playing with it.

On the one hand, using the Gradient Editor you can assign individual nodes to reference the "foreground" or "background" color instead of using a fixed color (right click a node handle and select the "Color Type"), however something like the Tube Red is actually a bit more complicated than a FG/BG fade (it uses more than two colors) so no, you can't "just" change its color to something else - you'd have to apply a consistent change the hue across like five nodes.  It's certainly doable, it just isn't as simple as it looks. :(

Thanks, yes, I've found that one, and it works to fill an entire selection.  But I like
the 3-d effects of, for example, the Tube Red.   The sharp crisp color and the sense
of depth,  but not the red.   I guess there's no way to turn it green and blue w/o
loosing the sense of depth that it gives.
I can go to color balance, or to various ways to color it after I've used it, but all those
ways cancel out the depth effect.  So I guess I'd have to be able to choose the colors
before using the gradient.

In the Blend Tool options, you can set the gradient to FG to BG
