Edits Saving wrong - PaulM - 11-14-2025
Hi all,
I'm new here. I've tried searching for this but can't find it. My edits are coming out all wrong. The colours aren't correct, if I crop the changes are in the wrong place. 2 edits in one image (with only one save) goes all wrong. I've attached 3 images to try to explain it.
Using GIMP 3.06
Thanks,
Paul

Can't reproduce. Are there any layers? Is the Curves filter "merged"?
RE: Edits Saving wrong - rich2005 - 11-14-2025
It looks like a bug with both layer effects (fx) and active selection involved.
With an active selection it gives the black area (1) Turn selection off and it is (2)
You can keep the selection active if the layer effect (fx) is removed.

Thanks for the heads-up! Yeah, the active selection is unintentionally adding a mask to the NDE filters when exporting. We fixed something like this for saving XCF files, so I'll see if I can get that applied to general file format export as well.

Thank you! I think this is the issue.
I hope this gets fixed soon, it was never an issue for me in 2.10.
RE: Edits Saving wrong - rich2005 - 11-14-2025
Well, you will have to wait (probably) until Gimp 3.2 comes out.
Until then, before you export to a jpeg image, use Image -> Flatten Image.
To preserve your work always use Image -> Save for a Gimp .xcf file which keeps layers / selections / layer effects ....

Thank you Rich! This fixed the other issue I was going to post about that when I edited colour and cropped, the changes were applied to the wrong part of the output image.
Thank you all for your help with this.
