5.3. Save File

The Save command saves your image to disk in XCF format. For other image file formats you should use the Export command. If you try to save to a format other than XCF, you get an error message. The error message dialog contains a link that opens the Export Image dialog. Please see 1.1 – „Save / Export Images“.

If you have already saved the image, the previous image file is replaced with the current version. If you have not already saved the image, the Save command opens the Save Image dialog.

If you quit without having saved your image, GIMP asks you if you really want to do so, if the Confirm closing of unsaved images option is checked in the System Resources page of the Preferences dialog.

5.3.1. Aktivace dialogu

  • You can access this command in the main menu through FileSave,

  • nebo ve výchozím nastavení pomocí klávesové zkratky Ctrl+S. Příkaz uloží obrázek do souboru. Pokud již byl obrázek uložen, uloží se automaticky na stejné místo se stejným jménem, ve stejném formátu a se stejnými volbami. Pokud je potřeba uložit obrázek na jiné místo nebo s jiným nastavením, je třeba použít příkaz Uložit jako nebo Uložit kopii.

  • Use Ctrl+Shift+S to save the opened image with a different name.

5.3.2. The Save Image Dialog

With this file browser, you can edit the filename directly in Name textbox (default is Untitled.xcf) or by selecting a file in Name list. We repeat that only XCF format is permitted. You must also fix the image destination in Save in Folder. You can create a new folder if necessary.

Select File Type.  If you expand this option at the bottom of the dialog, you can select a compressed format for your XCF file.
