Hey all wondering if anyone know what I can do to get color back to my Brush Dynamics

I was following along this tutorial: http://gimp-tutorials.net/how-to-create-brushes-in-gimp

When completed I had the brush fine and it worked but I couldn't apply color to it. I realize now it must have something to do with the "greyscale" I applied as a mode. Anyway, before I realized that was the case, I had change brushes to see if I can get color on one of those... just a basic cirlce..that didn't get me color either. So I restarted Gimp, and when I look now at the settings for brush dynamics, I only nave Pressure, Hardness and Size...the color setting has gone missing.

Any can offer any insight? Can it be repaired you think?

Alrighty then...seems problem is solved when one reloads or refreshes the "modules" under the Edit Menu...good to know

I'm learning as I go. Just wait until I start looking at the Windows version of Gimp! Then I'll be in this help thing quite a bit. Not quite use to Gimp but getting there...

I am glad you are leaning the Mac version because I use a mac and can always find a question to ask!

By the way theres a handful of mac users here anyway...I'm sure we can get it together somehow!

Akky, the XP SP3 is just a default that prints if you don't change it. I had that for a while, too, until I noticed it, lol. BTW, I have not upgraded to Lion, I am keeping Snow Leopard because Lion is not backwards compatible with my old imovie and iphoto, and I do NOT want to have to pay to upgrade all of those little extras.

I didnt pay to upgrade anything...

I would have to upgrade my imovie and iphoto to version 11 as I only have version 9, and that would cost about $15 each. At least this is what I read on the apple site. And of course, I'd have to add the $30 to upgrade to Lion.

perhaps mine didnt upgrade because I already had iLife 11 on my computer...but I did a clean install on my laptop and didnt have to pay to upgrade those either...
