dark_starrr9@hotmail.com Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I use paint.net very often. I make a lot of abstract art and I edit photos. In doing so, I use a lot of layers of different pictures, and with lots of different effects. I use so many layers with each of them having effects that it becomes hard to keep track of which layers have which effects. So I was wondering if the devs could add a label underneath the layer names showing what effect it is using, along with the opacity percentage. I made a picture demonstrating what I mean. Thank you ! P.S I love this program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 That's what I do. I type in the blending mode, opacity and every plugin with the settings for that particular layer. And save as .pdn. 1 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyReZ Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Greetings dark_starrr9@hotmail.com, When you double-click on any of the layers in the list of layers you will launch a box to allow you to rename the layer and select other properties for that layer; Blend Mode and Opacity.

You mean "Blend Mode", and not "effects". In the context of Paint.NET, Effects are a very different thing BTW I like this suggestion!

Rick Brewster Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I am planning to revamp the Layers window -- but, it's hard to say when that will happen because there's a billion things on the todo list 3 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
