Thanks, Pyrochild! The actual call to add a layer is this: doc.Layers.Add(new BitmapLayer(Surface.CopyFromBitmap()); and to convert a layer into a bitmap is this: BitmapLayer l = (BitmapLayer)doc.Layers[0]; Bitmap b = l.Surface.CreateAliasedBitmap(); which would have taken ages to figure out without your reply!

I was wondering if somone could tell me the best way to add layers to the document object from a bitmap source, and also to retrieve layers int a bitmap for saving. i.e. bitmap b; Document document; document.layers.add(???(); b=document.layers.???; I could spend an hour or two digging through the code, but I am too lazy, especially as I am sure someone knows it off the top of their head. Thanks in advance!

Hey, how 'bout a PPM file type? It's nearly useless outside of old-school DirectX object texturing, but it's such a simple format that it would be excellent to teach us Paint.NET newbies how to add new format support!
