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



Then somebody's missing something, and I don't believe it's me...


On the Gradient Editor there are buttons to save the current settings, or zoom the gradient display shown in 
the box.  It does not include a command to duplicate the gradient.


On your Gradients palette, there should be a row of five icons at the bottom -- Edit, New, Duplicate, Delete, 
and Refresh.  Likewise, right-clicking on a specific gradient (or checking the arrow menu at the upper-right) 
should reveal a context menu of similar options.


Lastly, if you go to Edit > Preferences and look at the Folders section, you should have one or two entries 
for the Gradients folder (typically under your user path and program path) and at least one of them should be 
flagged as "writable".

"...if you can't duplicate something from the Gradient editor then go to the
Gradients list and duplicate it from there."

No can do either way.

right click on the gradient you want to copy

select "duplicate gradient"

an editable copy of that gradient will open.

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.

Hi,

I'm trying to use the gradient tool, but I would like to modify the
gradient law. I guess that the modification takes place here :

but I can't do any modification.

When hovering the black and white triangle it says "click : select;
drag
: move.." etc, but these triangles don't react to any mouse action.

I have the same issue either on macOS or on Windows, so I probably
miss
something in the Gimp usage itself.

Gimp 2.18

Any help appreciated

The standard Gimp gradients are normally marked as non-writable so
you can not
edit them , see:

Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Gradients

Best leave it that way and duplicate the gradient you want to edit.
That saves
to your Gimp profile.

example attached.
