I open an image as a layer, create alpha channel then, when I slide the opacity to the left I get the checkerboard pattern instead of the image gaining less transparency. Can't remember having this problem before. I've fiddled with the settings and had a search around the forum but haven't found a solution.
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello, 

I need some help/knowledge/info/instruction... call it what you will. 

But before I present my inquiry I feel I need to give you a little history on my experience so you'll be better able to help.

 I had 24 years in I.T. (retired). I've been into graphics on a frequent basis since 1995. I started with CorelDraw 3. When I got my own machine I started signing up as a Beta Tester for various companies. 
I got a Beta copy of Jasc Paint Shop Pro 4 (PSP Pro 4). Eventually I got Jasc PSP Pro 7 (2000), and that is what I've been using until last year when I got Corel Paint Shop Pro X6 (formerly Jasc), which I haven't really used much, and that's because there isn't many YouTube tutorials on it. I was told about Gimp. I've been learning Gimp for the last couple of weeks. 

Now for the issue that I'm posting about. As I stated... I had been an I.T. Professional since 1995. I've always been able to install 2 versions of the same Application on my machines to more easily migrate to the newer version. Why is it that I can't install Gimp 2.8 and Gimp 2.10 on the same machine? 

And please, do not reply if you are not using Gimp on Windows 10. 

Thank You for you time in reading my dilemma and replying with your experience and knowledge. 

Best Regards, StageMan

This is my first time trying to create a custom crush and I can't seem to get this thing to export to my brushes folder no matter what I do.

It is in greyscale.

It is not transparent.

I flattened the image.

I am adding it to a folder that is selected in my font preferences.

I am trying to save it as a .gbr

Truly, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I've looked at about 100 posts and all of them list something I've tried as the solution. Clearly, I'm missing something but I have no idea what.

Thanks for any help.

Animation Workshop script still working on gimp 2.10.24 :

I created a Symbol file for Inkscape using Bootstrap icons. I went well except for the fact that none of the icons has a <title></title> element. But the info required for the title is available in " class ", please see the code below. While I can manually add it for one or two icon/symbol, there are around 1.5K of them in the Symbol file

I am looking for the following functions, are there in GIMP ?:
- Replacing a color by another
- attributing a transparence from a color or a range of colors

Thank you.

I don't know if I'm missing something insanely obvious like a checkbox, but I can't use my mouse to move things around in the layers box. Wouldn't be a problem but it means I can't add things to a layer group. Answer will inevitably make me feel stupid but I cannot figure it out.

Good day
I want to know if there is a  tutorial on how to make flip clock, or is there one that I can use. 

For example take this original image: https://i.imgur.com/ud3kX6Y.png
Compared to this: https://i.imgur.com/tTptnwm.png
I didn't edit it in any way or change any settings yet whenever I export it, it gets darker making it easier to see artifacts and overall making it unpleasant to look at.
