I am trying to make some paint.net layers into gimp layers by importing the layers. The background grey layer is not a problem but when I open another layer and then try to copy a selected green color area from another ( opened as a new gimp image) bmp image, the color isn't green but grey. So if I then use the color pickers on the green image and the paint bucket on the new layer, it still stays grey?
Given that didn't work, I tried with a new image and a base layer which also needed to be grey. Selecting that grey from another image also didn't work! Sometimes there is a note in history that I have selected the background color when I know I haven't.
In other words, what is easy in paint.net seems very difficult with Gimp. I used it a lot 5 years ago without issues so I don't know why i's an issue now!
