It's not the fact of pressing the save button that causes the loss of data it is the discrete cosine transform that appoximates the image as a large number of cosine functions.

How much depends on the nature of those changes. gg _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
