Grayscale to color

[vychune]

I want to change a grayscale image to color how do i do it?

If you want to restore something close to the original color, by painting over the grayscale, add a layer in "color" mode and paint on it. It will keep the details from the grayscale image.

If you want fun, "Colors/Map/Palette map", or "Colors/Map/Gradient map"

Can you give me some steps to do this because that doesnt work. Colors/Map/Palette was cool though lol

- load your grayscale image
- add a transparent layer over it
- put this layer in "color" mode using the layer mode selector at top of Layers list:
[attachment=1311]
- paint on that new layer:
[attachment=1312]
