One should not underestimate the power of GIMP but what I want to do is simple and I cannot, even after studying the handbook for hours, see how to do it. I have an image that was sent to me as a b/w gif file and I want to convert it to a RGB file in colour. I have exported the original file and saved it so that it says under the window that it is RGB (previously it was indexed) but I still can't do a colour exchange on it because the colour exchange filter is grayed out. It seems to want to remain a two colour image. The image is some oak leaves in black on a white ground (it's not unrelated to the National Trust) and I want eventually to end with the oak leaves white on a green ground. How do I get the colour exchange function to switch on?
If you are doing this kind of work you might be better off with sodipodi or inkscape - they are vector-based and so especially good for dealing drawings, logo's etc. A. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
