JPG turned dark |

I have been having a problem with JPG files exported via GIMP. The thumbnail (always) and sometimes also the actual JPG file once opened in other applications or back in GIMP turns very dark, as if brightness was turned nearly all the way down.
Any ideas what setting I need to change or what I may be doing wrong?

GIMP Handwritten Text Help |

I have a digital scan of an old sketch ( a colourful flower with a background). It has a border around it that has yellowed because it's quite old and at the bottom of the border is the title of the painting, in handwritten cursive font (it looks like it was done with a pencil). My problem is that the title is quite faint and I am having trouble clearing it up without affecting the rest of the picture. I attempted to use the burn tool to go over the handwriting but this was incredibly time consuming and not quite effective. I also found that the burn tool slightly change the yellowed colour around the writing as well. I tried to play with levels and achieved a great, clear title but it severely darkened the rest of the picture to the point where it was almost black. Is there a was to do this by isolating the handwriting in some way? I'm new at this, please be gentle!

I learned how to make a single brush .gbr file. Is it possible to have more than one brushes in a single .gbr file ? ie, a brush pack .gbr file.
Something with 5-6 brushes which can act as a single brush inside GIMP but can be installed using one .gbr file. Thanks.

My friend sent me an image saved as a .pdf file made in Photoshop.
I loaded the image into GIMP and made a very small change to the image.
I would like to save the file once again as a .pdf file and NOT LOSE ANY image quality.
The file sent to me was approx. 4M. When I save the file in GIMP the file size becomes approx. 312K, or less than 1/10 the size of the original file. When I look at the two images, the GIMP image has lost quality.
Can someone please tell me how I can do this? Thanks!
....
More info.
I also have the same image file as a .tiff file (coming from Photoshop).
When I open the file in GIMP and edit it (small edit) I can save it as a .tiff
and the file size remains the same! Approx. 4M.
But, when I try to save it as a .pdf file, the file size becomes approx. 312K !
How did my friend save it in Photoshop as a 4M .pdf file,
and how can I save it in GIMP as a 4M .pdf file?

Brush always black |

I drew an SVG > exported as PNG > opened in GIMP > saved as .gbr
The brush loads fine on GIMP, but sadly it is always a black imprint, no matter what Foreground colour I choose. I remember setting the colour to null somewhere during the process. It will be nice to learn how to fix this and make the brush honour the FG colour. Thanks.
LGN has a video on this with the solution. The image should be converted to greyscale mode before exporting to .gbr . Working now.

Since the last couple of days, possibly after 2.10.22 update, only the " Basic " set of brushes are visible. Others are there in the .config folder and they are set properly under folder path. But only " Basic " set it visible / selectable. Others are greyed out. I haven't touched any settings in a while. Any help on this will be awesome. Thanks.

Path to Selection not working... SOLVED. |

I already found the solution!
Hi,
Using script guides for paths, I created 4 paths.
But when I try to select these paths for selection (Path To Selection) nothing happens.
But if I use the Rectangle Select Tool and create a selection and then transform it into a path, from that path I can select it via "Path to Selection '.
Obs: The "this path works" path I made with the Rectangle Select Tool.
I don't know where I'm going wrong.
Do the paths generated by the Guides To Path plugin behave differently?
How to make these paths be selected?

(154.0, 0.0) <- 2 : 154.0 : OPN -> (154.0, 154.0)
(0.0, 0.0) <- 2 : 154.0 : OPN -> (154.0, 0.0)
(0.0, 154.0) <- 2 : 154.0 : OPN -> (154.0, 154.0)

Path "this path works" [1]:

I thank you for your help!

Ok, with ofn-path-edits I managed to solve the problem !!
I used the option Join Strokes and voilà!
Now I can select the paths.
