GIMP Help!!

[forester21]

I've got a pattern done on GIMP finally. Went to open it up to show someone, and am getting an error!! HELP please!

this is what I'm getting when I try to open the file:

 

Opening 'C:\Users\Theresa\DESIGNS\Eagle.xcf' failed:

 

GIMP XCF image plug-In could not open image

 

 

PLEASE tell me I didn't work all morning on this for nothing! I can open a previous file I worked on, but not this one.

Hmmm. First, I'd reboot your system and try it again. If you still can't get it, try downloading Inkscape (.44 or above) and try opening it with Inkscape. For other programs that will read XCF files, you can check out this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XCF_%28file_format%29

 

You can also try posting it here. Maybe someone can try opening the file with their version of GIMP.

I've had my laptop off and on a couple of times, but still get the same error. The previous pattern I was working on will open fine. I used the Wacom tablet and pen to do this second pattern - would that cause a problem?

Unfortunately I am on dial-up internet so I will have to wait to take the laptop into town to download any other program. I'm not real sure how to get the file on here, and think it will be too large for my dial-up. :(

 

thanks
