@Ken Hi Ken - Thanks very much for the reply. Very helpful. I think I have solved the problem. I export the .xcf file to Desktop - then into a new folder. I think I was saving then exporting the file before & it was ending up as a .png file in the new folder! Thanks for helping me clear that up - much appreciated. -- JackOats (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
