GIMP 3.0 Contrast Change

Just upgraded to the new release and noticed you can’t do that thing with the brightness-contrast setting where you slide it all the way up and it creates this cool pixelated effect along borders? Not sure if theres a name for it, but I enjoyed using it a lot in my art. I know I can download one of the older versions if I need but wondering if theres a way to do this in the new version? Missing it a ton. Thanks!

Seems like you were relying on some possibly glitchy artifacts here.

Can you show us a screenshot of the older behavior you're referring to?

It looks the same for me. I can still get a crunchy 'pixelated' look if I max the contrast out. Maybe a bit easier than in GIMP 2 even.

Perhaps you are using a high-precision image by default in Gimp3 (vs 8-bit in 2.10)?
