GimpExportOptionsget_image

Takes an image to be exported, possibly creating a temporary copy modified according to export settings in options (such as the capabilities of the export format).

If necessary, a copy is created, converted and modified, image changed to point to the new image and the procedure returns GimpExportReturn. In this case, you must take care of deleting the created image using gimp_image_delete() once the image has been exported, unless you were planning to display it with gimp_display_new(), or you will leak memory.

If GimpExportReturn is returned, then image is still the original image. You should neither modify it, nor should you delete it in the end. If you wish to temporarily modify the image before export anyway, call gimp_image_duplicate() when GimpExportReturn was returned.
