Hi people
Just installed 2.10. Seems nice. Just tried exporting a pic as .jpg and .png. I noticed that there were no options to choose the file type. However simply changing the file extention in the 'Name' seems to have achieved this. Is this the new standard?
Many thanks.

I'm trying to take a picture from a SNES game to upscale and use elements of it like take the chat window borders and use them on my desktop/videos.
So I put SNES9x to 1x size, take a picture of the screen, crop out the window boarders and the screen itself looks really good, I can zoom in all the way and the pixels are sharp. I scale it up to where the height is 720(for a 720p display) and it still looks good, 1 pixel turns into multiple pixels but still staying sharp, what I want. I tired exporting it as a .png, .bmp, .jpeg, and when I import it to any other program and stretch it it gets all fuzzy.
Is there a way to save it that when stretched with keeping it's aspect ratio the pixels will stay sharp?
Thanx,
Stan

Running: GIMP 2.10.6
Upon watching a video on Youtube about creating a flare in GIMP, I came across a snag when using blending modes other than "Normal." The video explained that Screen blending changes opacity based on the brightness of pixels in a layer. However, in practice, this was not at all what happened.
Here's what I'm trying to do: get rid of the darkest pixels in a picture, leaving them transparent, while keeping the brightest ones.
When the Background layer's colour was black or white, every blending mode affected the image the same, changing the transparency of each pixel at the same rate regardless of its brightness. When the background layer was transparent, every blending mode other than "Normal" just made the image layer invisible regardless of the percentage I'd set the Opacity slider. Honestly, I don't really know what to do here. I'm kinda getting worked up about the whole thing. I know I'm a noob, I've looked everywhere, and even though it seems straightforward I can't seem to get the thing to work.
