shoq Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The documentation says that flipping horizontal or vertical only affects the "active layer." Yet I have tried a dozen times, even hiding the other inactive layers. With only one layer selected, a flip horizontal action still flips ALL the layers. Is this a bug, or is there something I am missing? I noticed someone wrote a plug in, but a) I haven't installed any yet and didn't want to bother just now, and 2) I have a hard time believing it doesn't work as documented, since that's how every other paint program I've ever used, does. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hi @shoq and Welcome to the forum. Please be sure you are 'ON' the Layers at the time and not the Image. 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

shoq Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Ah, duh, thanks Pixey. That's an usual UI setup, but worked fine. Maybe the menu selection could say "Flip Horizontally (active layer) on the Layer menu to make it clearer? (and "entire image" on image menu?)

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 The menus are marked Image and Layers for this reason. In the documentation I've headed each page with the relevant info on the differences between the two. Compare http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/LayersMenu.html and http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/ImageMenu.html Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoq Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Seems perfectly intuitive now, but sure was confusing at the time. Just different. All software is a learning curve. This is one very impressive product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
