You presume that I have done nothing to improve the content of image. The file saved IS degraded relative to the image I am editing. > If you want to change the nature of the image format user SaveAs. > > Save should keep things the way they are as near as possible. No. If you want to specify something other than a user-specified default for an acceptable level of quality while editing in the GIMP (for example, overriding it with an image-specific value), that is when you should use Save As. If file size is your main concern, use Save For Web. If honoring the user's expectations with regard to image quality is your focus, Save should recognize user-specified default settings. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
