Hello,
Further to last email and reading blogs it looks like gimp 2.10 isn't always behaving itself with the latest os systems on Macs. So I have gone back to re installing gimp 2.8. I've then copied across my graphics files as pngs from 2.10 into 2.8. I've also imported the same large jpeg images I was using in 2.10 into 2.8 and found that if I scaled them down that they remained much sharper in 2.8 on the mac than working in 2.10.
Therefore I am going back to 2.8 (which for anyone reading this thread, you will need to temporarily unlock your privacy/firewall to allow a non apple application in for the 2.8). Although I'm going to miss the better tools in 2.10, my images are sharper and hooray the clone tool works perfectly.
Many many thanks for trying to help me with this problem Rich. I hope this thread is useful to other gimp users
