GIMP 2.8 Help?

(1/3) > >>

SenkoTwiik:
I don't know if anyone here knows much about Gimp, but it's the program I use to edit clothes and skins with Bodyshop.
I just recently got my computer fixed, and I had to install the newest GIMP, which is 2.8
It's very much like the older versions, except I can't figure out how to export my project from Gimp back to Bodyshop.
The older versions used to just make the path for you, all you had to do was click "Save" and the export was done.
But for this version, when you choose to save, a screen comes up asking you where you want to save.
If I choose the pre-determined path, and choose to export, it saves, but when I refresh to see my progress on Bodyshop, nothing changes.

Can someone tell me how to properly export?

Theraven:
Are you saving as BMP?
You should check whether you have an extra file in the project folder you're using. I seem to remember that you have to manually save as BMP, and save over the original BMP file. If you don't do that, the changes won't save.

Not sure if it's helpful, but Carenrose put up a tutorial on recoloring with GIMP, that also covers saving files - here: http://moonlightdragon.freeforums.org/tutorial-changing-the-color-of-clothes-w-o-losing-shading-t374.html.

SenkoTwiik:
Okay, I tried that. And it crashed Bodyshop. Is there any way I can just install an older version?

Dullahan:
I just got the newest GIMP, myself.  :D
Open the file from the project folder, make your changes and then go to
File > Overwrite 'file name'.

SenkoTwiik:
Does that work on doing skintones?
I managed to figure out how to do recolors of clothing, but if I try to do the export when I'm putting tattoos on skins, it crashes.
Will the overwrite work for that?
