thomas1234 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Currently, I am doing some crazy code that will read in every line someone draws in real time as a different image. That said, I was wondering if Paint has a functionality that allows a users drawing to save every stroke (basically one hold of the mouse per image) into a new file? Or is there a way to automatically create and save a new layer with every line you draw... I know this probably sounds stupid but I am very unfamiliar with this application. Any other apps with this capability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 What you are requesting cannot be automated with paint.net. Specifically, Effect plugins can only 'see' the active layer & clipboard. Nor can a plugin create new layers. If you want each stroke on a new layer, you're going to have to create a new layer each time (Ctrl + Shift + N). There is a filetype plugin which will save layers to individual files though. Have a look I the Plugin Index - there's a link in my signature.
