Creating a new file opens a new window for some reason, but the new window does not have panels or toolbars either.

- swap the positions of the two sections (2 layers)
- shift the 2 layers and use the 'Handle Transform Tool' to optimize the join
Ensure that the two ends of the panorama where it was split are not distorted.
Next, use the crop tool to cut away the unimportant part of the canvas, but be careful not to cut off any parts of the left or right side.
Use the FSPViewer to look at such a panorama.

Now, everytime I open an image file, .JPG etc, as a layer.
Instead of seeing it shown in the right hand panel as the layer i get three layers  there named RED, GREEN, BLUE, and cannot seem to get rid of them and go back to the layers list I am used to?
I even re-installed gimp, to no avail !?]]>  Namely:

I scanned in a pencil drawing, removed the white background with color to alpha, and now I'm coloring it in.

The first bucket fill works like a charm, see screenshot.

However WHATEVER I do next, (could be creating a new layer, or using another tool, or select something....anything.) the image gets distorted afterwards. The distortions also stay when saving/restarting gimp. (see screenshot 2)

well here i am back again - with some hmmm - lets say "beginner-question"... -


i need to colorize some dots in a file  (in a network visualization) using GIMP as the tool

well how to start: 

see the attached image:  would you do this with the  Bucket Fill approach or (alternatively) with the Colorize layer.

Wel to be frank with the second idea -( and method ) is not so familiar:  I honestly do not have so much experience with the work with layers. 
Guess that this method isolates specific nodes without altering the background or connecting... 

Which method would you suggest - for me - who is a bit unsecure in the work with layers...
