peem Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hi . I loaded the GIMP program yesterday and played with the curves to try to enhance some old photos . It improved them but when i saved one it had changed from a 2gb j peg file to a 22gb gimp file which will only open with the gimp program . Is this normal ?

cantab Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Recent versions of GIMP split the save function in two. "Save" now only creates .xcf files, which are GIMP's native file format supporting things like layers. To get a common format like jpeg you need to choose "Export".
