What Do I Do With RPG's?

How do I use Gimp files after edits? I've been doing everything with jpg's. Nothing outside of Gimp seems to recognize these files. Is there a way to convert them back into jpg's or something? I'm trying to make large prints to sell.

Also how do I brighten specific areas of a photo? I want to brighten just the eyes of an image.

Thanks!

The purpose of these files is to save your work, and not only the image. The XCF is the equivalent of a .DOC when the JPG is the PDF. When you start doing non-trivial edits, (using layers, selections, paths....) these things are saved in the XCF. When you have an XCF, you can always use File>Export to produce a "publication format": JPEG, PNG, GIF...

To restrict change to a portion a the image, use a selection. See
