Less data = heavier file ? |

I just noticed that putting layers in a group layer makes a noticeably heavier xcf (in my test an xcf went from 1.2 to 1.5 GB).
But it gets more interesting : if your layers have masks and you think you can save some space by deleting them and putting a single mask for the group, it will still be heavier than when you had individual masks (even if the masks were different). In other words you'll have less data to work with but the file will be heavier.
I don't understand why. Does anyone know?

Curved gradient and outlines |

Hello,
I'm fairly new at using Gimp (and art programs in general), and while working on a project, I've had difficulty replicating two particular visuals effects found, for example, in the picture below.
The first problem is that I can't seem too replicate the sort of customized curved gradient shown in the image. The gradient tool in Gimp has some options, but I wasn't able to make a curved gradient out of these (I don't really understand what most of the options do outside of linear), so I was wondering if there were other ways to go about replicating such an effect, or if I'm missing something. Additionally, sometimes the gradient (if I draw small lines using the tool) produces very stark differences, without nice transitions, and doesn't seem blurry enough.
The second problem is that I was wondering if there was a more efficient/clean way of doing the clearer outline between the darkest part of the shading and the thicker, darker outline, using Gimp than simply manually drawing it using the brush tool.
Thank you.

Thanks in advance for assistance.

Blank Prints |

I have been using GIMP for a while now and am on Windows 10 with GIMP 2.10.20. Recently I have run into a problem of getting blank images off both of my Epson printers on many images I try (not all) .jpg and .tif The images print fine using another program. I have tried searching the web without success. I just updated to GIMP 2.10.20 from 2.10 where I first experienced the problem.
HELP!
