    Then trying to nag you into saving it to some unknown unused bizarre gimp extension.

    You mean saving a project file? The same way you’d save a PSD file in PS, so you can actually save all your layers and go back to make an edit? It’s been a while since I’ve used Photoshop, but I’m pretty sure both GIMP and PS offer two different workflows of saving/exporting your work and they are just named differently and have different keybinds. I have no idea how you can act like you actually tried to use GIMP as something other than a drop-in replacement for PS, but then call the default GIMP project file format “unknown, unused and bizarre”…

      No, I’m not talking about project files, they are fine, I’m talking about opening an image, do some basic stuff and saving it. Image editing.

        There are two ways to save your work in either program. You can save your actual work, so you can continue editing at some point and not lose stuff like layers, image quality and other information or you can export your work into some kind of image file, optionally compressing it and discarding extra information about the project. I think GIMP even offers a shortcut for this called “Overwrite …”. How is this an issue?
