We are now using Gimp 3 with a number of very good non-destructive filters.
But the gradient tool seems to be "baked in" when committed on a pixel-layer and cannot be re-invoked for later adjustments - or am I using it wrongly?
Nothing that I can find, Once the gradient is applied and the Gradient tool closed, it is fixed. Maybe there is a GEGL plugin somewhere, I do not know. You could ask the Gimp devs for an enhancement.
Quote:If not - is there a work-around to allow adjustments on an existing gradient?
This is a work-around of sorts. Gimp 3.2 RC1 comes with a new option File -> Open as Link Layer
Using Inkscape for the gradient. Inkscape will import a gimp .ggr gradient which you then save as an .svg file. (1) That .svg file is opened as a linked layer in Gimp (2) and you can adjust size etc (with unified transform)
To change the gradient at a later date, back to Inkscape, make the adjustment, re-save the .svg file (3) and that change is reflected in Gimp.
All that a bit long-winded for you, I now have 15 minutes of linked layers experience so no difficult questions.
