Bob you are indeed correct as the image is held in the memory not a file type,
the point I was trying to make was that the image is no longer a .jpg. I
believe there is a little confusion here generally with what Helen is trying to
do. I think she needs several scaled images.

Control-shift-e (export to) works like the old "save as" for non-xcf

The preview will close but the original image is still open.
If you use single-window-mode, GIMP then switches back to a random (or
unpredictable) image, not the one you were working on, but it's still
there.

Thanks, it is that's a very simple way, and is the way I currently work.
I just thought the logically way would have been to scale a active
masked layer as seen with the mask active.

Taking the obvious approach, I always just duplicate a layer and make it

Simple.

well, i gotta say, that were i ever to actually use the gimp in any heavy
