To clear possible misunderstandings:
Without a layer group:
- On the top layer, you can paint everywhere, the image below doesn't act as a selection mask
- The top layer applies to the composition of all layers below it, not just to the layer below.
- If you want to apply the effect just on the layer below, you use a layer group.

Otherwise, make a screenshot of your layer stack (and indicate the layer modes by renaming the layers)

I was peed off after making a comprehensive post on how you might get the reported problem when using layers and how the layer attributes in Gimp 2.10 will be the problem only to find
Not the layers, it is a single layer (I think) in normal mode and brush in darken mode which is different between Gimp 2.8 and Gimp 2.10
Solution as my previous post, put the brush in legacy mode.
This worked like a charm.
Thank you very much!
QUERY: Are other differences worth noting between normal mode and legacy mode?
I am now editing some old .xcf files, and they open with all the layers in legacy mode, whether it be normal, overlay, saturation... So far, I see no change by switching to the new mode--but my eyesight may easily be at fault. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
