Fill with pattern - maltje - 01-25-2020
Hi I post it here because I can't post in gimp 2.10
I'm a newbie.
I open a new project
I draw a circle in it.
I fill this with a pattern ,everything ok.
Now I open a picture of let say a cross(downloaded from the internet.
I fill with a pattern but the filling is now black and white.
What do I wrong?
Kind regards

It should be RGB (not Grayscale or Indexed).

Thank you very much.
The image mode was grayscale
I bought some lessons o, youtube but didn't find the right answer.
I have a lot to learn.
I would like to fill in a picture with other colors.
kind regards

There are three images modes (see the Image>Mode menu):
- RGB (aka "full RGB"). A pixel is defined by three color components (R, G, and B). This is the most frequent case, and corresponds to JPG and (most) PNG images.
- Grayscale: A pixels is defined by a single component (often called "Value"). Not to be confused with an RGB images where R=G=B. Although supported by the JPEG format, it is rarely used to publish images.
- Indexed: a pixel is defined by an index in a colormap. The colormap holds 256 colors maximum. This corresponds to GIF and (some) PNG images.
