26    The <guimenuitem>RGB</guimenuitem> command converts your image to
27    RGB mode. See the <link linkend="glossary-rgb">RGB</link> description in
28    the Glossary for more information. Normally, you work in this mode,
29    which is well-adapted to the screen. It is possible to convert an RGB
30    image to Grayscale or Indexed mode, but be careful: once you have saved
31    the image, you can no longer retrieve the RGB colors, so you should
32    work on a copy of your image.
