gimp absolute beginners

Thu Nov 22, 2012 4:48 am

i don't do much image editing (resiziing a bit or blurring a bit, that's it).
If i now want to do it in gimp i
- open the image
- edit it
- save it
and then i am getting "yada yada, never-heard-before-format, please export it"

Is that
a) a new setting, aka a feature which looks like a bug (which i assume) or
b) did i made changes i should not have made (on all machines at the same time, without recognizing it).

Thanks for a short workaround. I will neither read docu nor waste any time with it. I edit an image once per month, and it ain't the end of the world if i would stop doing it.

I don't use gimp much - prefer PS7 on wine - but every time I've saved an image as a jpg, I've had to export it (like when I re-sized this avatar a few days ago and didn't have wine set up).

Odd. I could swear it was different in the past.
But if that is the way it needs to be done i am fine with it (i assumed i would be doing it "wrong").
