2020年10月25日 · Open both XCF files. In the XCF with the layer group, click and drag the layer group from the layers panel onto the other image tab along the top (do not release the mouse button). When the other document window opens, drop the layer group onto the image window.

When you save the file as XCF, ie GIMP's native file format, it is an uncompressed format, so the file size will be much bigger than a JPEG. The same thing happens if you open a JPEG in Photoshop, and save as a PSD (ie Photoshop's native file format). For example, I open this JPEG in Photoshop shown below. The file size is 109kb.

But you could replace those text layers in GIMP with editable text layers. This would obviously mean retyping them or copy and pasting the text from Photoshop into GIMP, reformatting the font/font size/line spacing/kerning etc, and repositioning, then you could delete the rasterised text layers, and save the finished file as XCF.

2019年2月2日 · Yes. GIMP's native file format is XCF. It's the format you should use to save your original work for future editability (whether it's being used as a template or not). It's a lossless format, and it preserves all layers, and editable text layers. Although GIMP also supports PSD to some degree, you should use XCF for full compatibility with GIMP.

2023年9月19日 · I don't know of any stock image sites that offer native GIMP XCF files, probably because Photoshop doesn't support the format at all. However most existing stock image sites have a plethora of images in other formats that GIMP can open. If you are reliant on PSD mockups which use smart objects or layer styles, then these won't open properly in ...

2021年8月16日 · With GIMP, I want to draw a rectangle so I follow the documentation: 14.2. Creating a Basic Shape. I get the expected result. Then I close the *.xcf file and re-open it. The selection is still acti...

Have a GIMP .xcf file with a few layers that was created some time ago. One of these layers was initially a text layer, but the text image itself has been processed at the time. And when I click on it (after the text layer itself has been selected), I get

2021年10月12日 · When you need to output for the web or whatever, open the XCF, then resize/rescale as necessary, and export as jpeg/png etc. Don't overwrite the original XCF with the changes you made before outputting (or exporting). Just close without saving. You may even want to make your XCF files read-only, so you don't accidentally overwrite them.

2022年11月26日 · I have an xcf file that is comprised of a series of layers. The first layer, called "background" holds an image that will be manipulated by the script. The other layers named 1,2,3,4 etc all hold masks that will be used to manipulate the background.

The GIMP "raw" files are created as XCF. If I look inside (using Emacs), while it's a binary file, I can distinctly see a text command, like (fgcolor (color-rgba 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000)) It would appear to me that GIMP stores - in its own binary format - a list of commands that it "replays" when the XCF is opened(?).
