spamme Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 It would be useful to export a pdn file to another format, this means the generated file is of the exported type but the format in paint.net doesn't change. For example you have a picture with more layers and you want to export to png format different combinations of the layers: one with layers 1,2 and 3, another with layers 1,2 and 4, and a third one with layers 1,2,3 and 5. Now after every save in png format you have to reload the picture in pdn format to save the next one. An export function would be more user friendly, because it doesn't force the user to reload the pdn file of the picture after each save in another format.

BoltBait Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 After a Save As operation where it is necessary to flatten the image, just press Ctrl-Z to get your layers back. 1 Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Here's how I would handle this 1. Deselect the layers you don't want in the Layers window. 2. Select the entire canvas with Ctrl + A. 3. Press Ctrl + Shift + C (copy merged) 4. Press Ctrl + Alt + V (paste into new image). 5. Save it in whatever format. 1 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...
MJW Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 You actually don't have to select the entire canvas. The Ctrl+Shift+C keyboard shortcut works even if the canvas isn't selected, though the menu version doesn't. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Didn't know that. Thanks MJW!

bstjohn Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 BoltBait- Ctrl+Z isn't quite the same. It doesn't open the original PDN, but the getting the layers back is closer than I was before. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
