Not paying attention, Gimp set up so layers are buried in a corner like Photoshop? If you have "Saved" then even Undo "ctrl-z" has gone. screenshot https://i.imgur.com/ttcexzp.jpg Depend how much has been done but you might be able to clone the original back in. Open the original as a layer, does not have to be at the bottom but it is a convenient spot. Select the clone tool and set Alignment to Registered. Ctrl-Click in the ***imported layer*** to set the source. https://i.imgur.com/8khoxUV.jpg Now you can clone from that layer into the layer with the "mistake" Any brush will work but go for one of the fuzzies. https://i.imgur.com/xTW1oA0.jpg How to stop it happening again? You can lock any layer from the layers dialogue. In Gimp 2.10 it is Pixels - Move the layer - Transparency https://i.imgur.com/DHpUIgG.jpg -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
