Graphic Design Asked by user2233706 on January 4, 2022
When I go File->Open as Layers… and open a PNG, the layer is shown in black and white, although the image is colored and the preview also shows a colored image. I want a colored layer.
If your image is in grayscale or color-indexed mode (see the title bar),
anything you add to it (cut/paste, or Open as layers
) is coerced into its current mode (for grayscale: desaturated, for color-indexed: converted to the closest colors in the colormap).
You can restore full color support in your image by putting in it "RGB" mode: Image>Mode>RGB
If you did not set the mode explicitly, Gimp opens an image in a mode that is coherent with the source format: GIF (and some PNG) are color-indexed, some not so frequent JPEG and PNG can also be opened as grayscale images (no color information).
