Hi,

I try to import a color palette from a picture with RGB mode, following the instructions of rich2005 found in https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-How-to...83#pid6383

Quote:To get a palette from the original RGB image is different.
1. In the palettes dialogue, right click to import https://i.imgur.com/iF437h3.jpg
2. You get the 'Import' dialogue where you can select the image, and the number of colours https://i.imgur.com/qLPGDYU.jpg
3. Then again, hunt for that palette (Lenna-imported-5), right click, rename to something sensible, note the 500 colours in this one. https://i.imgur.com/QBZPIJX.jpg

Try as I might, I always get the message "source contains no colors", and the resulting imported color palette contains only very few colors, e.g., only two.

However, when I first convert the mode of the image to indexed I can import the full color palette containing all colors.

Did I get something wrong with "To get a palette from the original RGB image..."?

Is it impossible to import a color palette from an RGB image?

Thanks,

gnuimpcub

P.S. Since I work with layers, I have to work with RGB mode.

Just tried it with Gimp 2.8.16 on Microsoft Windows 10 Home Edition OEM, Version 1511 (Build 10586.164). Same result as with Linux Debian  Sad
Make sur e you click the "image" checkbox in the import dialog (and select the image). Otherwise you are importing colors from the current gradient.
Of course I do!
