This isn't always true. For example, after working on a photograph I scale it down e.g. to 600 pixels across, and export a jpeg. If at that point I save the xcf file, I will lose data, because xcf does not store the undo history. Yes, I could use ImageMagick to scale the image, but (1) I do want to see the jpeg preview, as it often needs some extra work in curves or sharpen, and (2) I'm already in gimp :) Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
