Quote:...Something related to this which I've also noticed is that the image files saved by GIMP are not backward compatible.
Indeed, worth mentioning the Default/Legacy modes in Gimp 2.9
By default (since Gimp 2.9.5 - I think) Gimp uses the Default mode for Layers and Tools.
If anything is in Default mode, even a single layer in a multi-layer file, then the Gimp xcf file is not backward compatible.
Change everything to Legacy Mode if you need to use the xcf in Gimp 2.8
