GIMP comes with standard filters that supports creating gradients; look under Filters+Light After you’re done with your image, you can export it in PNG format. One of the most common uses for GIMP, is to prepare images for web sites. To export an image with transparent areas that do not have a soft transition. Most of the file formats that GIMP can open, can also be used for saving. Exporting an image does not modify the image itself, so you do not lose anything by.

Save creation time Date the file was saved.
The image file can include markers which allow the image to be loaded as segments. There are situations, however, in which using no subsampling 4: The EXIF data may indicate things such as image creation time and file name, which may no longer be correct.
Click the “File” menu on your image’s window and then select “Export.
Please note, that the numbers for the JPEG quality level have a different meaning in different applications. When this option is checked, the color values are saved even if the pixels are completely transparent. JPEG files from many digital cameras contain extra information, called EXIF data, which specifies camera settings and other information concerning the circumstances under which the image was created.
Values above 95 are generally not useful, though.

You can remove the alpha channel by flattening the image. With this option the color values are saved even if the pixels are completely transparent. No other format comes close to achieving the same level of compression.
Save background color Save background color: Save Resolution Save the image resolution, in ppi pixels per inch.
Frame disposal when unspecified: This himp that you always get at least the minimum quality specified in your defaults. The human eye is not sensitive in the same way over the entire color spectrum. Warning The GIF file format does not support some basic image properties such as print resolution.
If this has not been set before, you can set how frames will be superimposed.
Chapter 6. Getting Images out of GIMP
Loop forever When this option is checked, the animation will play repeatedly until you stop it. GIMP allows you to save the images you create in a wide variety of formats. By using this option, you can smooth the image when saving. The leading asterisk indicates gim this file has been changed.
Layers will overwrite what is beneath. GIMP is a pretty robust program, but we have heard rumors, possibly esport, that it may have been known on rare and mysterious occasions to crash. Maximum compression has no affect on image quality or the time required to display the image, but it does take longer to export.
Nothing to fear from decompression: A JPEG image, however, loses quality as the compression is increased. It is a very widely used format, because it compresses images very efficiently, while minimizing the loss of image quality.
Exporting a PDF From GIMP
The program can open PDF documents consisting of a single page or multiple pages, and while it doesn’t support multi-page PDF exports, it does let you export each page individually. If your image has many transparency levels, the Internet browsers which recognize only two levels, will use the background color of your Toolbox instead. PackBits is a fast, simple compression scheme for run-length encoding of data. Not all file types are equally good for all purposes.
There is one file format that is special, though: It does not, however, support transparency or multiple layers.
