Saving Images
No image function is as important as ‘File’ ➝ ‘Save’. It is better to save too often
than too rarely. Use ‘File’ ➝ ‘Save as’ to save the image with a new filename. It
is a good idea to save image stages under different names or make backups in
another directory so you can easily restore a previous state.

is a good idea to save image stages under different names or make backups in

When saving for the first time or using ‘Save as’, a dialog opens in which to spec-
ify the filename and type. Enter the filename in the field at the top. For ‘Save
in folder’, select the directory in which to save the file from a list of commonly
used directories. To use a different directory or create a new one, open ‘Browse
for other folders’. It is recommended to leave ‘Select File Type’ set to ‘By Exten-
sion’. With that setting, GIMP determines the file type based on the extension ap-
pended to the filename. The following file types are frequently useful:

XCF
This is the native format of the application. It saves all layer and path infor-
mation along with the image itself. Even if you need an image in another
format, it is usually a good idea to save a copy as XCF to simplify future
modifications.

PAT
This is the format used for GIMP patterns. Saving an image in this format
enables using the image as a fill pattern in GIMP.

JPG
JPG or JPEG is a common format for photographs and Web page graph-
ics without transparency. Its compression method enables reduction of file
sizes, but information is lost when compressing. It may be a good idea to
use the preview option when adjusting the compression level. Levels of
85% to 75% often result in an acceptable image quality with reasonable
compression. Saving a backup in a lossless format, like XCF, is also recom-
mended. If editing an image, save only the finished image as JPG. Repeat-
edly loading a JPG then saving can quickly result in poor image quality.

GIF
Although very popular in the past for graphics with transparency, GIF is
less often used now because of license issues. GIF is also used for animated
images. The format can only save indexed images. The file size can often be
quite small if only a few colors are used.
