GIMP question: I recently edited and colored a document, and want to send it via email to a friend. but when i?

but when i try to send it to a friend it won't send because it only opens in Gimp. How do i make this document where i don't need Gimp anymore?
Answer:

if file is gimp xcf file, and you attach to email, other user would require gimp to open, not all email services allow no- web savy formats, you can save copy as jpg. png/ gif, or you can compress file as zip, then attach and send, if other user has gimp editor, Getting Images out of GIMP http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-images-out.html ____ Gimp ~image editor, http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html Plugin Registry GIMP http://registry.gimp.org/ FX-Foundry for Gimp http://gimpfx-foundry.sourceforge.net/browse26/index.html deviantART gimp brushes http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=gimp+brushes PSPI ~ Tor Lillqvist http://tml.pp.fi/gimp/pspi.html GTK+ - Download for Windows http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html Python Programming Language http://www.python.org/ Gap by ~photocomix http://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/Gap2-4-BugFix-Files-77466242 UFRaw -for Gimp http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/index.html ..

What you need to do is save the image as a .png or .jpg. It sounds like you have saved it as a .xcf. So, open up your image in GIMP, hit File/Save As and then save as "name.png" and that should take care of the problem.

Save it as a jpeg. Click File > Save As > Give it a new file name and end it with the extension .jpg, hit Save, then Export . . . Then send them the jpeg.
