A Quick Note About Saved Images

K-Pad does not modify your original image files one bit.

Neither does it embed the files in the saved .kpd document.

The filters are applied on-the-fly, since that does not take a massive amount of processing time, and it does not eat up disk-space.

Re-saving .jpg files decreases their quality, which is why K-Pad doesn't.

As files are linked, not embedded: if you are moving .kpd files to another computer, you should also remember to move your image files too! They do not have to be moved to exactly the same folder; in the same folder of the .kpd file (or a subfolder) will do.
