color to alpha is greyed out? - Loriblackdog@brighthouse.com - 12-09-2019
Hi All,
I am trying to remove a background and when I go to colors and try to add color to alpha it is greyed out? How can I fix this. I would greatly appreciate any help you can send my way.
Thank you

Probable cause - no alpha channel
Go to Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha channel
then try Color -> Color to Alpha again

Another possibility:
Image must be RGB (not grayscale or indexed)
Image > Mode > RGB
