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

Ah, the Gradients Dialog was not up there with the Layers, Channels, Paths, etc. It is now and now I can see 
what you are talking about.

While GIMP has it’s weirdnesses, it’s UI is superior to the current Photoshop CC “flat & grey” look that’s 
stricktly out of the 1980s. AND GIMP fits on my screen. Plus, GIMP users are majorly helpful.

Thank you,
Rick S.

notice the list of gradients on the right hand panel

left click on the name of the gradient you want to duplicate (don't "open" the gradient)

one of the icons on the bottom is duplicate. Alternatively, right click on the name of the gradient and 
select duplicate.

hopefully the screenshot comes through

  Richard,

  I hope the screen shot comes through to show you what I get when I R-ckick on the gradient in the editor. 
Nothing happens when I R-click on the icon in the LH panel.

  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.
