Why would I save it lossless somewhere BEFORE editing a file Ive imported from a JPG? The loss has already happened, I can always get the exactly same quality for this particular file from the JPG. After editing the only sane format to SAVE to is xcf. Not only is it lossless, you wont lose any of the layers/objects you have made in the process. > If you're directly > opening a JPEG for editing and then lossy-saving it somewhere else, what are > you thinking?! You're going to keep losing quality. You dont SAVE to lossy format. You export. Save is to xcf - the only sane starting point for future editing. -- --Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
