If someone is paying me $150 for a high-quality stock image I don't want to send them a low-quality JPEG by mistake, and if I sent them a GIF that would be the end of my credibility for that publisher / film studio / whatever! If I open an indexed image I need to know whether to change it to RGB to work on it. Knowing your tools *is* part of professional workflow. -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
