Hi It's a very old story... *Four years ago* Gimp developer Martin Nordholts explained on his blog: A lot of people over at GIMPUSERS.com want the old save and export mechanism back. The conclusion to draw from that is that they are not part of the user group we are targeting. We are not trying to make GIMP into an excellent JPEG touchup application, we are making GIMP into a high-end photo manipulation application where most of the work is done in XCF. http://www.chromecode.com/2009/09/reactions-on-gimp-270.html Therefore we, professional (or advanced users), are not the user group (they) are targeting... Martin Nordholts forgot other image formats, better than jpeg because they are not destructive: png, tiff. These three formats are very used in professional world but Martin Nordholts an gimp team sadly ignore it... Greetings -- This subject has been worn out - Please stop it maderios! Professional image editors don't work in jpeg format. It's an end use format. Think non destructive editing. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Thanks again and best regards Alex ---end quoted text--- First of all, don't use the GIMP for creating a brochure. Use a page layout application. Scribus will do just nicely. The proper tool for the job will make your life much easier. Just use GIMP for images NOT layout. ---end quoted text--- No, Scribus is more like PageMaker, an earlier Adobe Page Layout Application before they introduced us to InDesign. The open source eqivalent to Illustrator is Inkspot.

For me as a long-term quiet lurker, the mailing list is normally a great resource of advice; so it's a real PITA when it gets taken over by these trolling topics.

It is not that hard to adapt to the changes made in 2.8. It is easy to reform habits if the community would just stop yapping about it and instead do something about it themselves. You hard work are tremendously appreciated by many of us, and we trust that you will continue to pursue the goals you have set out. More power to GIMP development and developers. Agreed +100 One thing sure in life is constant change. If software isn't evolving then it's not improving. At 1st I disliked the new behaviour too, but have come to do it naturally and without fuss once I understood the reasons. Hell Photoshop wants folks to save as .PSD too for the same reasons. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
