[Gimp-user] Why are my filters disabled
Hi, I've been using Gimp for a good while, but today I tried to edit a TIFF image of an old document with lots of speckles on it. No problem - use the despeckle tool! However, when I try to invoke it, all the enhance filters are greyed out. I then tried a similar file, this time a jpeg and the filters are all enabled. I then thought maybe it doesn't like to image type so I saved it as a PNG file, killed Gimp and restarted. The filters are still disabled. Can someone suggest why the filters are disabled for this image, and how I can fix it?

It is probably a greyscale tiff. Many filters only work on RGB. Try imagemodeRGB then you should be able to use the filters. -Rob A ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
