an example file is helpful whenever reporting a problem or asking for help. they make me explain the methods i used to create the file. right now in this thread, everyone is just guessing -- people who would be better working on actual gimp problems are even getting in on the discussion. the best way to share your file on this list is to put the file online and provide a url. to report the method you used to save the file, you might mention whether or not you saw the "Export Dialog". the gimp does not make changes to a file without telling you it is going to do this. perhaps this warning seems cryptic, however, you probably agreed to the layers merging. also, confirmation that you are reading the help mentioned here is just good procedure no matter who you are asking help from. right now, i am guessing that gimp did exactly what you told it to and you are not reading the help being offered via this list. feel free to correct this guess with a few facts. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
