TechnoRobbo Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Is it possible to have a layer be visible in the composite image while editing the image canvas, yet not selected? Yes - use the Layers Window (F7) :Layers: and select the layer you want to edit. 1 Quote Go out there and be amazing.

sabuncu Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) If I select the layer I want to edit, the other layer(s) are not selected, and thus not visible. Instead, I want to be able to see the other layers, but want my edits to be confined only to the one (selected) layer.

Red ochre Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi sabuncu - welcome to the forum! I think you may be confusing a layer being selected (highlighted light blue and editable) with its 'visibility' (checkbox or opacity slider)? Have you read the documentation about layers here? http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/WorkingWithLayers.html 2 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

sabuncu Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Thank you Red ochre, indeed I was confusing those concepts. Read the documentation, which set me straight. Thanks again. Yes - use the Layers Window (F7) :Layers: and select the layer you want to edit. Thanks. Also, didn't know about F7, very useful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
