I've been working in an image set to grayscale mode. It's in preparation for a publication that will only accept images that are naturally grayscale in this mode (these are from a scanning electron microscope-all pixels assigned grey values only). I'm working in the most up to date version of GIMP-2.8.22 in Win7.

There are some layers in which I wish to make minor edits to the brightness and contrast, but the tool makes no visible change to the layer (which is in a layer group) I have selected. There are no changes in the preview mode or when i press OK. Is it possible this feature is not usuable in greyscale, but only RGB mode?

It works for me.
Both on a normal layer and in a layergroup.

There are no restriction in grayscale (unlike color-indexed). Are layers in something else than "Normal" mode? Otherwise see the checklist
