Any one know how to make GIMP save changes to a photo? Or am I mistaken in thinking that it will save changes?

The instructions given here:


are not working.
I have updated Gimp 2.10.

When I have an image in it and edit, I just have to click File -> Export As and I donā€™t even need to click Save. It exports the image wherever I want. I have version 2.10.14.

Thanks Carmar. It does work. At a loss as to why they have the option to save, which doesnā€™t.

ā€œSavingā€ in Gimp saves in a Gimp Template Format. That is to save a Project- not to save an Image.
To ā€˜saveā€™ an image, it must be exported since you are exporting the raw data into the format you will use, for example .jpg or .png.

Thanks Aravisian, that clarifies it well. Iā€™m still wading (rather than swimming) through the Ocean of Open Source, itā€™s great to have you all supplying support.

I use Gimp every single day- so feel free to ask any questions about Gimp.
