You already get a lot of good advices I will add that just apply a simplicistic but very effective trick may do marvels
just some gaussian blur on your gradient may create all the smoothness you may desire ...more the range, more smoothness (you can't save "as gradient" a blurred gradient but you may well apply gaussian blur after applied the gradient) >Hello, > >I'm trying to create a smooth radial gradient in GIMP.
