How to Make a JPEG in Gimp
The GNU Image Manipulation Program, commonly called GIMP, is a free graphics software application that performs many of the same functions as expensive graphics programs such as Photoshop. When you save a file in GIMP, the program saves it with the extension .xcf, which is a special file format that application uses. If you want to save your file in a more common format, such as JPEG, you can accomplish this using the "Save As" command.
