Hi,
I am using Gimp 3.0.8, which is the version my Linux distribution provides. When I inspect a layer mask I"m using, I'm seeing RGB color values wildly above 100% (see attachment).
Once this happens, the layer mask (which is supposed to be the the percentage of the background to shine through) gets "wonky": what shows is not related to either what is in the layer nor what is underneath.
I'm think that I'm completely missing something important. The pink triangle in the color picker display seems to indicate something special is going on, but I have no idea what it stands for.
Note: I think this problem starts when I use Levels to force a lot of white (transparency) in the layer mask. It's like the levels create whiter-than-white colors...
I'd appreciate any help.
