color corrections lost when saving file

When I make a change (to a .PNG) using the levels tool and then attempt to save the file as a jpeg, the corrections are lost IF I attempt a compression adjustment. If I just accept whatever the save dialog suggests, no problem. To get around this I have had to save the newly corrected image ,close and re-open the file (now with the correction) . After this I can change the jpeg compression for the corrected image.

Am I missing something here? Surely this can't be the proper way to do this. John

Huh? I am not sure if I can follow your description but my guess is that you didn't confirm the Levels tool adjustments by clicking OK in the Levels tool dialog. You should do that before saving the result.

Make sure to properly apply the levels tool by clicking on "OK" before trying to save the file. The preview mechanism in the jpeg-plugin conflicts with an active levels tool.

I hope this helps.
