Re: [Gimp-user] gradient tool



But the Gradient Editor has been around pretty much forever, its window is just not loaded into the toolboxes by default.  Try double-clicking a gradient from the Gradients dialog (on its icon/preview, not its name), this should bring up the Gradient Editor.

Advance warning:  You can't edit the preset gradients (minor design flaw common to all GIMP resources, really), you have to hit the "Duplicate" button on a desired gradient before you go into editing mode.  Otherwise the editor will be in read-only mode.

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.
