My layers dialog is exactly the same as in the on line manual chapt 16 Figure 16.104. The Contents of the “Layer” local pop-menu
and in my windows dialog the same as in Figure 16.259. Contents of the “Windows” Menu
I have right clicked the picture and thumbnail and clicked through all the menus that I can find an I cannot find the menu you posted
This is a whole new ballgame for this ancient one and I do not want it to beat me.
You can easily find this in through the menus:
Windows - Dockable Dialogs - Layers. Or by the shortcut Ctrl + L.
In the layer dialog window, check the Mode option (the default is Normal).
Through a pop-up menu you can find the Grain Extract option.

You can also at the same time duplicate the top layers to increase sharpness/contrast of text.
- Filters>Enhance>Wavelet decompose
- On the Residual channel: "Filter>Blur>Pixelize" and pixelize to its size to average it.
I guess I am just too old to grasp some essential as the two dot points produced nothing but a fuzzy mess. Presumably I am missing some blindingly obvious next step.
I did not do the third step as I wanted to see how it looked before and after
I confess that I also did not understand very well.
My interpretation was as follows:
Apply the Wavelet Decompose filter.
Then in the Residual layer (highlighted in yellow in the image below) apply Filter> Blur> Pixelize - (Highlighted in yellow).
I changed the mode of this layer (Residual) to Divide. (highlighted in red)
NOTE: It is in that same menu (highlighted in red) that the Grain Extract option is found.
