What's the deal with 2.8 gimp

[jeeperman]

I have used Gimp for a while and enjoy it. I have looked into upgrading to 2.8 but am at a loss. How can they not allow saving to the standard formats such as jpeg and Tiff? You have to save to XCF? A Gimp propreitaery format.

If I can not save to Tiff or Jpeg how would I send anything to print or read the info in any other program?

Paul, have a look at this:

...I think Irfanview will convert for you as well and is free, free, freeee.

Paul..use export rather than file save as. It is all there. It confused me for a while:)

Thanks to the both of you! That makes it worth a second look.
