answer:I’m not able to duplicate the problem. Can you give me a few more details? What version of Gimp are you using? Can you save other jpgs as xcf files? Can you save that jpg as some other filetype? Does the error show up as you save it or when you try to open it again? Have you tried using the Save a Copy menu command? (and probably a silly question, but…) Are you choosing the xcf filetype or relying on Gimp to figure it out by the extension? I’m far from being a Gimp guru, but maybe we can narrow it down so someone who is will say, “Oh, it’s this!”
