Re: [Gimp-user] gimp users matter

[Helen <etters h gmail com>]

Ok, I'm trying, but this just doesn't make sense to me.
You're saying I was never able to see my file after I "save as" to png or
jpg, in
prior versions of GIMP.
I don't think anyone here is deliberately giving out bad information, but I
just don't
understand this.   I still have GIMP 2.6 on a very old Think-Pad laptop
running ubuntu.
I can not only see the file after I "save as" but I can also edit it.
Here is a screenshot.   I opened gimp >create new > made one blend stroke,
then Saved As jpg.
I do see the file.
Then I went to Edit --  and took a screenshot showing that I am able to edit
that file.  Not just see, but see it and edit it.
I can't do this in gimp 2.8 because that ability has been removed.
Click on the screenshot to enlarge it.

  You can see that it has been saved as a jpg and is still available.  So,
I'm sorry and I apologize for being tiresome,
 but I just don'tunderstand what you are saying.
