This is what I thought was a bug (I posted herehttp://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432978) but Sven Neumann says I should discuss it on here first. Basically I've found that blurring an image with the blur tool in 2.3.15 darkens it as well as blurs, but only if there is a darker colour involved in the blur. For example, take any small image and blur it as much as you can. Then take the original image, invert it, blur it as much as you can, then invert it back. You will find that the one you blurred while inverted is much lighter than the one you blurred while normal. This is because the blur tool seems to darken the image. The one you blurred while normal got darker, and the one you blurred while inverted got darker while inverted, and hence was lighter when inverted back. When involved in a blur, darker colours seem to "overpower" the lights. I've made another video of the effect here: http://schalken.wubbles.net/gimpblurdarkensbug2.ogg Also see the one in the bug report.
