blickbox Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 When I work with a .PDN with image with several layers, I often want to save the current displayed image as a JPG with all currently selected layers merged (essentially save exactly what is shown on screen). Is there really no easy way to do that? Currently I have to delete unwanted layers, merge layers down, and then "save as", which will basically close the file I currently work with, and is awfully easy to mess up if you press "save" instead of save as...

MXI Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) This question keep reappearing. And I came to this forum to leave the very same question, because I couldn't figure it out myself, without someone showing it to me. Similar questions: (these boxes taking too much space, distracting from the essence of the comment. I'd love them to be optional) Maybe there is more. This means there is a serious usability issue. Some solution should be found to improve discoverability of this feature. Also, I'm not quite happy with two-step process when exporting to file. In some cases it makes sense to have PDN and flat file to be opened alongside, in other cases it might be simpler/faster to do a single-step export. I always envisioned this as "Export to file ..." and "Export to clipboard" items in "File" menu.

merarischroeder Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I agree with an "Export to file..." feature, that's a common feature in image editing software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
