Thanks, after change the mode, the figure can be corrected loaded. Can you
please explain why? This surely helps quickly understand gimp.


I actually want to make use the old xcf to work for a new figure by replacing
the underlying figure. But it seems when I turned the eye on the visible layer,
the old figure shows up. I am here upload both the xcf file and the intended
figure, can you help me with that?


Thanks!
