 # Toolbox updates 
 
-We've listened to users' feedback on introducing tool groups in the toolbox in the previous release. A lot 
of people told us they appreciated the change in general but were quite averse to having to click to open the 
list of tools in a group. So now you only need to hover the tool group to let the list of its tools slide 
out. This is the new default behavior. You can still switch to clicking to open the list, the setting is on 
the _Toolbox_ page of the _Preferences_ dialog.
+We listened to users' feedback on introducing tool groups in the toolbox in the previous release. A lot of 
people told us they appreciated the change in general but were quite averse to having to click to open the 
list of tools in a group. The new release adds the option to show the tool-group menu as soon as the mouse 
hovers over the toolbox button, without having to click it. This option is enabled by default when the 
toolbox is arranged in a single column, but it can be enabled for arbitrary toolbox layouts, or disabled 
entirely, through the _Toolbox_ page of the _Preferences_ dialog.
 
-Additionally, when 'Show on click' is enabled, the every tool group will list other tools in that group in 
the tooltip.
+Additionally, when not using the new behavior, toolbox tooltips now list all the tools in a group, to 
improve their discoverability.

 New _Bloom_ filter applies an effect that looks a lot like what you can get with the _Soft Glow_ filter but, 
unlike, _Soft Glow_, it doesn't decrease saturation. Technically, _Bloom_ isolates the highlights region, 
feathers it, and then recombines it with the original image.

+# Filter-dialog improvements
+
+The options dialog of GEGL filters now provides a new _Blending Options_ section, which allows controlling 
the blending-mode and opacity with which the filter is applied.
+This replaces the _Fade_ functionality, which was removed in version 2.10.10.
+
+Filter previews now remain cached even when toggled off, allowing for quickly switching between the original 
and filtered views.

 # Better PSD support
 
-When we released v2.10.20, we sort of forgot checking if GIMP actually exports 16-bit PSD files. This has 
been fixed now.
+While GIMP could already load 16-bits-per-channel PSD files, high-bit-depth images can now be exported using 
16-bits per channel as well.
 
-In addition, we fixed the bug where GIMP would load and write channels in PSD in the wrong order.
+In addition, channels are now exported in the correct order, and with their original colors.
 
 # Other changes
 
+- The blending mode and opacity of GEGL filters can now be controlled while applying the filter
 - Painting tools can now save and load opacity and blending mode to/from presets.
 - Canon CR3 files are now properly recognized by GIMP and sent to your raw developer software of choice.
 - The TWAIN plug-in used for acquiring images via scanners has been slightly refactored and now supports 
16-bit RGB/grayscale images.
