Then open the original image and import the edited image as a new layer, making adjustments as needed (opacity, etc.).

I suspected that might be the case, but thought it was worth asking just in case. Thank you though! (And if anyone does know a piece of software that can do this in an elegant way, I am all ears! The difficulty I had in googling the feature made it hard to look for alternatives) Joao S. O.

The way you already do it (large square brush + grid) is the only work-around I can think of.

Hi Erika - I can understand your demand, and unfortunately GIMP is not capable of that (I wonder if any other raster based software is). The way you already do it (large square brush + grid) is the only work-around I can think of.
