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. 33 </para> 34 35 <sect3> 36 <title>Activating the command</title> 37 <itemizedlist> 38 <listitem> 39 <para> 40 You can access this command from the image menu bar through 41 <menuchoice> 42 <guimenu>Image</guimenu> 43 <guisubmenu>Mode</guisubmenu> 44 <guimenuitem>RGB</guimenuitem> 45 </menuchoice>. 46 </para> 47 </listitem> 48 </itemizedlist> 49 </sect3> 50</sect2> 51
