I used GIMP years ago very actively and was quite happy with that. But I don't understand the one it turned to be now. Icons became smaller, on a black background impossible to see anything without strong magnifier. But the main concern higher versions of GIMP became very uncomfortable to use. I was trying just to make a drop shadow on text and found it is not working. The help I found says 6.7.4. Using Drop Shadow Filter
This GEGL Drop Shadow filter is surprising: if you apply the filter directly to the image as you do with the legacy filter, you get nothing!
and I have to do from 9 to 19 steps to make it work! You guys, who create updates to this software, are going in wrong direction!
I wish to donate for those creating GIMP I used to know, but today's one is so out of touch with people! Please, give me the old GIMP back!

Hi, my wife and I have started a small pressure washing business and had a logo designed for it. I am happy with the logo design itself but when we had them put on t-shirts, it didn't look good because of the gradient coloring. I have tried to fix the issue myself but I am not familiar with photo editing software and when searching for a fix, I have not been able to find any instructions that I could follow for my particular situation.
I have attached the oridinal psd file. I anyone could help me out or instruct me as to how to turn the gradient green and blue shapes back to solid colors I would be grateful.
Thank you!

I was using gimp earlier today and setting a layer to semi opaque so I could see through it to another earlier picture of the same location. However, I must have changed some setting in the process. I don't use gimp all that much and making a layer semi tramsparent even less. As I was looking around the layer tools I may have accidentally locked something. However, I couldn't find how to unlock it. I tried other photos from other sources and upon opening they were all locked to. I got the icon on screen indicating locked for the cursor. I tried uninstalling gimp and reinstalling it. It still behaves the same. I've made the canvas bigger than the image as well. I can't move it.
The new install is gimp 2.10.32 and I know the previous was a also 2.10. I think the same version.
Any ideas???

A Fiverr guy created a GIF for me, 4.3 MB.
The free GifViewer program broke it down into individual...
612 frames, and a sum total of 61 MB.
Why do the parts add up to so much bigger than the original?
I didn't like the fact that 20 frames were used for some scenes,
instead of just One frame each, with a longer duration.
I deleted some frames, then GIMP adjusted the Duration of some frames.
Ended up with just 123 frames, of various Durations.
Still, the new GIF is 21 MB. Why so big?
Thanks, people.
