Rhialto Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 They say there is no dumb questions... 🙂 Is there a way to instant preview without having to save? I mean seeing what it would look like when project is flatten and no more transparency checkerboard showing up. For now I save on desktop, go open image then come back to paint.net and press Z to unflatten. Having a single key press to fullscreen preview would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would allow you to show/hide the transparency checkerboard by changing the visibility of that layer.

Rhialto Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Was more looking into a key that when pressed would do a fullscreen (no tools) preview at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Ctrl + Shift + C Ctrl + V (Paste) into any app that will handle an image (Word, Google Doc, etc....). If you do the filled-layer-as-a-background trick above, you can clear the utility windows by pressing F5, F6 F7 & F8 together. The same action toggles them back on.

It could be a very useful feature! Currently selecting all, copying merged, pasting to a new image and saving then opening in a viewing program like 'FastStone image viewer' seems to be the best option to see a full size preview. I think an easier option would be popular and appreciated - if possible and practical, from a coding point of view... and @Rick Brewster's to do list seems to be getting ever longer 😉.
