Gimp crashes when scaling images |

Hi,
I have recently found that when I scale down an image, Gimp stalls, becomes unresponsive and then I have to close it down.
Example of image size is 7360 x 4912 (9.13 MB) scaling down to 1080 x 1080. I've been using Gimp your the past 3 + years and have never come across this issue until recently. It's not my machine, everything works perfect in Inkscape etc...
Version 2.10.30 (downloaded from gimp.org)
Machine: PC Specialist, Windows 11 Pro, 16GB ram, 1TB SSD, Intel Core i7 11th generation, intel iRIS Xe graphics card.
Any help would be much appreciated ?

tinting and toning a B&W image |

I want to be able to tint and tone black & white images (as separate tasks – not with the same image at the same time).
Tinting and toning are not colorizing.
In chemical photo terms, tinting and toning have separate meanings. Tinting a B&W image a desired color is equivalent to looking at that image through a color filter, or printing a B&W image on a solid-color paper. Toning is when the densities of a B&W image are converted to a selected color, with the grey scale varied as concentrations of that color, from white (lightest areas) to full-color (darkest ares).
Colorizing is something else entirely.
How do I tint and tone B&W images?

I really like gimp. However, I'm a mac user. Gimp has become buggy. I'm going to stay with Gimp for as long as I can but I need to make a plan of what to do IF gimp becomes to buggy to be usable with mac. Does anyone have any suggestions for different software that works with mac? I'm also considering to install a windows emulator that runs on mac. I will then install gimp for windows and run it on mac.
I'd like feedback on both of these options
1. suggestions for similar software to gimp that runs on mac
2. Run gimp for windows on my mac by running it through a windows emulator.

.webp Musings |

This surprised me a bit. I wanted to add the "illuminated" red text to the above cartoon. And of course .gif does not support partial transparency, so the glow around the letters was a problem.
See my "work in progress" screen here (large) https://i.imgur.com/aHVH8nA.png
As you will notice, I was planning on using the full sized background file, with just a smaller layer to show the reddened text. Utilizing the (combine) attribute on both layers. This strategy has worked well for me with gifs numerous times...but alas the partial transparency....so I decided to go with .webp
And, it worked. But I was surprised to discover that gimp automatically generated a duplicate of the back ground layer in it's entirety, and combined that with the red letters to create a new second layer, at full size. You can download the above image and open it in gimp to verify.
Basically it "deoptimized" the animation, in conventional .gif parlance
Which gave me sort of a "duh" moment, realizing that I could have done the same thing with a gif, and managed the partial transparency in a way that .gif would not plunder.
But, there is a silver lining. The .webp version is still half the file size compared to a "doctored" gif version.
