The surface of the image when moded GRAY only has access to the gray colors. So that gray that quickmask adopts is the red that is set in the preferences. If you are just making a selection, converting to RGB does nothing to the original colors. After the selection is made, set it back to GRAY and everything is fine. If I am wrong, and you have a patch for all of this you would like for GIMP to do differently, it will go a lot farther than imagining things on the developer list. carol _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
