Image - Precision and mode? Does it have multiple layers? Any transparency?
The color-picker tool - What options are set?
There was this bug report. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/2401 Any similarities?
hi
thanks for your answer
The precision was set at 8bit . I tried all the other options with similar (bad) results.
the mode is RGB color
working on one layer only/
I also tried various color picker tool options, including the one shown in the pic you enclosed and nothing changed.
I still click on a brown a brown area which it's interpreted as dark yellow-orange
note that -unlike yours - my tool box is black and white - I had this problem this morning with an older version (2.08). I tried to solve the problem by uninstalling it and installing a newer version, the latest 2.10, hoping that the program will reset itself somehow, which it did not happen. Everything was exactly the same, in fact it even remember my recently used documents which I found rather strange having removed "completely"all the components of the program before.
thanks again
