Thanks, Rich. I have libheif, but not libx265.  Will install same.  Am not using
a Flatpak.  My GIMP was originally an older version, installed from the Fedora
repositories, and updated over the past couple years via the usual Fedora
process.  If I still have problems, will refer to a Fedora forum.  Thanks again.
