    I'm working on creating a new gradient and just searched on how to do it and WOW how lucky am I that this is your newest tut! You're awesome! I need to install Python first as I don't have all the options you have in the Palette right click menu.

    You can just right click on the small box in the palette editor and edit the color that way...save you the trouble of moving your mouse all over the place.

    I wish some companies would invest into Gimp the way they do into Blender. 10 years have passed since this video and Gimp has barely changed, it's still just as frustrating to use, I think the devs have given up at this point.

    I haven't used Blender since a long time ago. But now your comment made me corious because I remmember it to be also a complicated software. I hope that it got easier. And regarding Gimp: yes, I think there is version 2.10.x now and it looks quite the same as 2.8.x. But anyway, it is still a gread alternative if you don't have the money for the Adobe software.

    Great entry tut. Maybe you can post a follow-up on gradients. They seem to be very flexible but tricky to create & use. Some gradients are fixed while others change their color depending on the fc. Thanks.

    Hi Gimp teacher, Thanks a lot for this tip! I would like to create a LUT RGB Table Gradient (en zo voort:) directly from a photography to coordinate with a 3D picture. Is it possible, in place of pick up colors in the gradient, to select a whole picture to make the gradient ? (I hope what I try to explain is clear) Thank you for your answer! regards mlig

    Is there a way to make 2D gradients? This tutorials showed a 1D gradient (from one color to another). If you click on the foreground color for the "Change the Foreground Color" selector, and click the middle (paintbrush) tab, it's a 2D gradient from one color to several other colors depending on direction.

    But how do you make one color of a gradient completely transparent? Isn't there a way for Gimp to change the opacity of each color, since Photofiltre could do that?
