Export to jpg with edits? - geoffpeters - 07-01-2024
Hello,
Is it possible to open a file, modify it, and export the file with changes to a jpg?
When I export the file as a jpg it is the original unmodified version with no changes.
TIA...

I do it all the time using export as. I have never had changes not hold. Are you exporting to a different folder? Do you get the message file exists do you want to replace it?

How exactly are you modifying the file ? Generally the result is, you-get-what-you-see when exporting a jpeg, but it might involve layers. If you have several layers these are normally flattened on export. If happy with the result, Image -> Flatten Image and then export with a different name to keep the original file safe.
If it involves cropping the image, a very annoying default is in the Crop Tool Options. There is a "Delete cropped pixels" toggle. Turn that on, otherwise your cropped pixels can reapear.

Thanks for the tips.
Yes, I was severly cropping the image and I was unaware of the option you mention.
i'll give it a try later today.

The "Delete cropped pixels" option did the trick.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
