Fade option

I recently loaded the latest version of GIMP 2.10.18. When working on a photo I used the White Balance function from the Colors menu. The action changed the image more than I wanted, so I went to the Edit menu to use the Fade option to scale back the change made by the function - BUT there wasn't a Fade option available. Why is it not there on the latest release? I've had to uninstall the latest version and fall back to a prior version where the Fade option was available.

Was this an oversight or am I missing the point entirely?

Thanks,

Tony Huffaker

It was removed over a year ago for being irreparably slow. A far better replacement for GEGL-based filters (incl. White Balance) is coming in the next release.

You can get a very similar result with:

- duplicate the layer

- apply the change to the top layer

- adjust the effect by reducing the opacity of the top layer
