If you accidentally overwrite a source image by exporting an edited version of it without renaming, you just lost what may have been the only available copy of that original image forever . . . a unique source image, overwritten by an edited version in the same format with the same name, is a lost source image - so in most cases, it's better not to do that. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list And this is ESPECIALLY true if the output format is lossy, like JPG. -- Stratadrake [email protected] -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. <https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list> _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
