Converting grayscale image to color.
I am trying to work out a way to convert a grayscale image to color.
If I open a grayscale image and convert to RGB with Image>Mode RGB, the image does not behave like other RGB color images.
For example if I then choose Colors>Color Balance and move the sliders the image color does not change where as with other RGB images the image color changes if I do this.
I've tried simply creating a new (RGB) image and copying and pasting the grayscale image to the new image. If the new image has a white background this works but if I create a new image with a transparent background it doesn't. Why is this?
I notice that if I create an image with a white background the color channels seem as expected, ie Red Green and Blue but if I create an RGB image with a transparent background the color channels don't seem to have any color. Why is this?
Is there a way I can convert a grayscale image to RGB color so I can use the sliders in Image>Color Balance to change the color of an image but maintain a transparent background?
Thanks
