Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp file extensions
Quoting JD Lancaster : I may be wrong, but I believe that in GIMP you manipulate images you open as xcf files, and you must export to get different file types, such as jpg. Mostly right. As Eric, the original poster, noted, you can open images of different file types, but recent versions of Gimp are imposing xcf as a native file type when 'saving.' I'm assuming this is about preserving a more complete working version with layers and whatever else might be obscured or lost with other file types. To do this you need to go to: File > Export As... Yes, to save, for example, as a .jpg or .png like Eric wants, this is exactly right. -- David Benfell pgpmHw5Hdxz6W.pgp Description: PGP Digital Signature ___ 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

Hello, I may be wrong, but I believe that in GIMP you manipulate images you open as xcf files, and you must export to get different file types, such as jpg. To do this you need to go to: File > Export As... In the export window that pops up, just above the help button near the bottom left of the window, click on "Select File Type (By Extension)" and scroll down to JPEG.

The tutorial I was watching showed an earlier version of Gimp which allowed you to save the image as either jpg or png extension. However, this version seems to just give me xcf extension, which my Fantasy Grounds software does not recognize. Is there a way to save the image as either jpg or png extension? __ Eric Kollman Thousand Oaks, CA eric.koll...@hotmail.com (773) 805-0588 mobile (805) 492-3804 home ___ 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 ___ 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
