Re: [Gimp-user] Gradient tool : how to modify the gradient ?

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong primus ca>]

WIN 7 64 bit;  V. 2.8.16
I can't find any way to save the non-writable gradient to a copy that I can 
edit. I've got the "Edit Gradient" tab up, and can see the gradient, but 
there is no button/option to "save-as". There is a "save" button, but that 
only saves that same gradient.

I must be missing something.
