Thread Moved.

However, what do you mean by 'taking Gimp'?

Prophetess · 05-12-2008, 07:48 PM

well when I went to load the little photo I made from Gimp on to my website it would not allow it?

it would not "take" it

I have free service on msn, and gimp is NOT compatible, where can I use this program?

just on my emails ?

it has a banner thing on it, so I thought websites?

and I have no idea why a USA flag came up for my profile?

if I could afford a regular site, believe me I would do it..I just do not have money, us prophets are poor hehehe
it comes with the territory of the job LOL

Hi,

I think I know what you mean.

When you create a graphic and save it, gimp saves it with its native file format (default extension) .xcf. All graphics programs save your work in their own native format by default so they can be easily edited later. To use your image in websites etc. you need to also save it with a .jpg or .gif extension.

To do this - load your image/work in gimp, go to 'File'>'Save as'.

Give it a new name or leave the name as it is. Expand the 'select file type' menu

This is the IMPORTANT PART: Scroll down the menu and select the .jpg or .jpeg option (or .gif if you wish).
Click 'save'.

You should now have another image file with the .jpg extension which you can use mostly anywhere.

Hope this helps,
-Uni

Most places allow only JPG, PNG, and GIF formats, so be careful to save as when you use them.
Also, if you are uploading for general use, I recommend www.FileHive.Com
