You have to export the image, not save it. To convert: • Open the XCF file using GIMP • Click on File • Click on Export • Enter a filename It'll be saved as PNG by default. You can use any other format by simply adding the extension to your filename (like image.jpg, image.bmp) or selecting another file format in the bottom right of the export window. • Click on Export The downside of exporting is that you'll only save what you see. So all your layers will be merged, and all editable components you may have added (like text) are not editable anymore. So, if you would like to easily edit your images in the future, also save it as a XCF file as this will preserve all layers, components and other things as they are when you close GIMP.
.xcf is similar to how is Photoshop's native project file format. As Louis already explained saving in such formats has the benefit of being able to make modifications to editable components, which comes in handy when you work on big projects and have features like non-destructive editing and a history of modifications. It makes sense to save into a project file format that is not intended to be viewed in a typical image viewer when you have users that use the program extensively for bigger projects and not just plain open, modify and save modifications workflows and you want to have a clear distinction between project files and image formats.
Earlier versions of GIMP allowed to save directly to standard image formats, this was remodeled into an export function with version 2.8. You can revert this through a plugin if you want: •.

I'm in the midst of moving from Windows to Linux and from Corel to Gimp. Gimp is great, but there is one issue I need help with.
I have numerous files in CorelDRAW (.cdr) and Corel PhotoPaint (.cpt) formats that I need to work with. Since I find no Gimp support for Corel formats I've tried first converting the.cdr and.cpt files to Photoshop (.psd) format in Corel, and then opening the.psd files in Gimp. This works, but the result is a flat image with no objects. It's as if I had converted the original image to.jpg instead of.psd. Is there a way to get Corel files into Gimp and still have objects that can be manipulated? If not, can anyone suggest another open source application or tool for Linux? This issue is the only reason I still have Windows on my computer and I'm anxious to become Linux only.

Being able to do everything that you need to do is an important step in converting to Linux. Thanks, but I get the same result as with.psd format: the image is flattened. All objects are merged with the background. I can open it in Gimp but there are no objects to edit.
Any other ideas? I'd prefer to avoid having to remake almost from scratch some 150 files that are now in Corel formats. On St, 2002-09-25 at 18:23, Warren Post wrote: Jon Winters wrote: If possible save the corel files in a non-proprietary format like an uncompressed TIFF.

The problem must lie in the Corel Photopaint PSD exporter, since GIMP's PSD import plugin works with multilayered images fine. Unfortunately I have no idea how to solve your lock-in problem without considerable effort:/ On a related note - you can get rid of that Windows partition by using the linux port of Photopaint;).

I don't think there is anything in the Linux world that can edit a text layer from another application. That's the show stopper for me then. It's the text layers I need.
The non text layers don't need to be modified. In that case I'll just redo the images in Gimp as.xcf and chalk it up as a learning experience. Photoshop.psd files are proprietary as.cdr and.cpt so you'll eventually have trouble with them. Its always advisable to save important files in non-proprietary file formats. My entire move to Linux is so I can escape proprietary file formats and closed source apps while I still can. A couple more years and Microsoft, Corel, et al would have had me completely Borged.
