Re: [Gimp-user] Text Editing Problems
When working with GIMP you can save your work in any file format you choose BUT your current work book will remain as xcf capable until you close it. So before you close GIMP- SAVE your work as a xcf also! The rest is as Owen said - use layers, etc. Rock and Roll Live! Seeking USER_FUNCTIONALITY always!

Save as a jpg/png whatever Not quite correct? Reopen the xcf file, adjust as necessary, resave as xcf and then into your final format.
