Buy Full Version?
How do I buy the full version of Gimp? I noticed several actions are
grayed out.
There is no **full** version of Gimp, regardless of operating system, Gimp is free-open-source-software (FOSS)
Providing you get your Gimp installer from www.gimp.org the version of Gimp you have will be the most recent.
If you have anything called GimpShop or similar, **dump it** straight away, it contains dubious 'advertising extras' and install the official version from www.gimp.org
Back to the question. The reason for some menu entries grayed out
You do not have an image open
The active image is in indexed or grayscale color mode - change to RGB use Image -> Mode
The action requires transparency - an alpha channel. use Layers -> Transparency -> Add Alpha Channel.
There is always a reason. Not Gimp, blame the User.
