Hi there, I'm trying to learn some simple photo editing so I downloaded GIMPShop to give it a shot ...

I have some questions here regarding the type of files I'm saving (jpeg/png) ...

png


jpeg


I used the same method to edit (add in shadows and borders) to the file, however, for the one saved under jpeg, there's this white color thing around the picture whereas the one saved under png has nothing (which is something I wanted) ..

Is it correct to say that the type of extensions saved matters? Such as jpeg and png?

Besides the tutorials on the gimp website, can anyone recommend other tutorials as well on picture editing? (like making wallpapers and etc using GIMPShop) ...

Thanks a lot for the help and I'll be coming back with more questions

PS, photo editing is fun

Thank you very much

Managed to do some simple editing to my current siggy and avatar ...

Will be posting more questions here in the future
