Gimp's colors

Kyle Kol · 12-09-2012

So I downloaded Gimp 2.6 and tried to make a head using the template which I got got the era templates tinyurl page. I went into the program normally, opened the template's file, made another layer, and tried to use the color black. Then the trouble started. My black showed up as a maroon-like color, I was advised by Thalia to check the opacity and set it to 100% but it was already at that level. Mr.C has encountered the same problem; he laid down a color (all I know was that it wasn't gray) and it turned it gray. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please post the solution in this thread, anyone is welcome to comment even if you just want me to clarify what the problem was

Most likely the color maps.
If it is a color map, then just go to image and find RBG.
Im to lazy to list all the steps, but thats the basics.

Your image is indexed. Copy visible to a new canvas and make sure Alpha and the RGB layers are active.
