Error message when opening a gimp file?

Opening "F: \ … Xcf" failed:

XCF Error: unsupported XCF file version 11 found

This error message comes whenever I try to open this file. I would like to print the file and would like to know if this is possible?

The file was created on another PC and it may be that this was a different version of Gimp. On my current laptop I have the version 2.8

That's where the problem lies. XCF V11 is used by GIMP 2.10. You can't open the file with 2.8.

Now there are two options. Either you install GIMP 2.10 on your computer or you save the picture on the other PC again in the compatibility mode.

I try to install Gimp 2.10 times. I have to uninstall the 2.8 version before, right?

No, not necessarily, but makes sense in most cases.

Thank you and everything worked.

Great, that makes me happy.
