xcf - but that seems relatively minor to me. The only minor challenge I see here is the need, initially, to save as. Now, maybe it's possible that you might have to choose jpg on the first edited image and then GIMP will remember your preference for the rest of your images during your session? If I don't want any of them and the folder contains a lot - I can search folder for ".xcf" and delete all of them. xcf files, so when I'm done - I delete those I don't want. Ufraw opens raw file (process and click OK)

I just did this again to verify the following. I think I'll change this in my future 2.9.x builds. For photography you want to retain your EXIF data.

builds by Partha, there is only one occurrence of file:///we/only/care/about/extension.png. Of course, there are lots of good things to say about png, and I use it very often (even for Web images, if I want a screen capture without JPEG artifacts in a light file, if I need an animated image with thousands of colors…) There is a lot to be said for png but lack of EXIF is a huge thing to overcome Originally posted at 1:08AM, 16 June 2014 PDTįrançois Collard edited this topic 102 months ago. (1) Not gedit as I first mistakenly wrote. So get off my back with your lossless formats! I generally 'export' images for Flickr, so I need reasonably light files with EXIF. PNG keeps transparency, but I'm a photographer and I don't need it.Īnd png compression is very slow, files are still large, and without EXIF. Of course png is lossless, but I already have a lossless 'save' format, xcf. There are many reasons why I prefer jpg here. Overwrite png with jpg, that is, write 'jp' over 'pn', save the file and you are done. Edit the Gimp executable (/usr/bin/gimp-2 on Linux, \bin\gimp-2.8.exe on Windows) with an hexadecimal editor. The only way I found to set this default extension to. Gimp developers (at least The One Who Invented The Save/Export thing) are so obsessed by preventing you from using lossy formats that even when you want to "export" from an xcf file, you must delete the default.
