Hello, I have a couple newbie questions about saving files:
1. When I try to save a file (hoping to save as .jpg or .gif), those file formats don't seem to be available. Is there a way to get them?
2. I did find the "Export As" command,which does list .jpg and .gif file types (as well as many others). This will work, albeit a little slower, but to reduce disk space usage I am lowering the Quality setting to 50%. I see I can save this setting as a default, and then recall the Saved Setting each time I export (save). Is there a way to automatically select my saved setting as a default to avoid having to go through the "Load Save Settings" step each time?
I also have a question about how to save time when performing the same steps over lots of images. Does GIMP have something like a "macro" capability where I can save a series of steps and have them all automatically applied with the click of a button? I looked into the "Templates" feature, but that doesn't seem quite right because it doesn't appear to offer all the full set of menu options.
TIA
