Turned image does not export

[Falu]

Hi,

Just installed Gimp 3.0.4.
Opened an image, which I turned horizontally. Then exported it to my desktop as jpg. Unfortunately the image isn't turned horizontally. The original image is exported.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance and kr, Leo.

Falu: Hi! How are you turning the image? Are you using the View menu or the rotate tool?

Thanks for quick response.

View > Mirror > Mirror horizontally

Thanks! "View" menu is meant to be non-destructive - it doesn't change the image, just how you're looking at it. It's like turning your head when you look at something - you're not actually rotating the object, just how you see it.

For actually changing the image, you can use the Flip tool or Layer -> Transform -> Flip Horizontal.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Much appreciated, Leo.
