Blur and smudge effects undone after exporting
GIMP version: 2.10.8
Operating System: Windows 10
Package: Installer from gimp.org
Description of the bug
I have an image with a transparent area, if I select the transparent area, then grow that selection by 1px and apply gaussian blur so that the edges of the image that isn't transparent is blurred, I can see the result of the effect and it's how I want it. However, when I export the image as png, the effect isn't applied
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? Always
Reproduction steps:
- Make part of an image transparent
- Use fuzzy select to select the transparent area
- Grow selection by 1px
- Apply gaussian blur
- Export the image as png
Expected result: The exported image should have blurred edges around the transparent area
Actual result: The exported image does not have blurred edges
