triggerhippie Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Sorry to admin for posting a reply to a 3 month old replied thread... So here is my reason for requesting this as well ..... --------------------------- I have to agree to this idea - this will hopefully explain why I would find it useful. and in this example i am working with the source template image and creating multiple variations of the same for a community site for instance that requires each banner to have the community's unique name... 1) I open "banner-source.pdn" 2) make a small change like the banner title text for each community name 3) "save as" and select jpg, 4) confirm the quality 5) and then "flatten" and give it a different file name so I can tell them apart. now comes the annoyance.... 6) I then have to close the active file as it is now a jpg. 7) go to "File/Open recent" and re-select the "banner-source.pdn" to open it. 8) I can now start the creation of the next one... I would like the export function so that I simply retain the original source file open in Paint.net that I was working with - the banner-source.pdn no more steps like 6 to 8. I hope this makes sense to all. thanks for a great product though Dom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'm profusely sorry for not paying attention! I somehow got my Firefox tabs switched up, and yelled at you on a thread I thought was necroposted and still open. I really do apologize! That was totally unintentional.

Doh! doh! and trebel Doh! - numpty alert.... thanks guys and no probs David, didn't read your "shout" anyway so don't worry, it was my fault for not paying attention to the rules fully in the first place. I would like to say, that as a Macromedia Fireworks fan and a deprecated Photoshop user, I have never really managed to get to grips comfortably with another package - familiarity etc etc... But I was "forced" to use a design package at my new work and had to choose something quickly for a particular task (mentioned above) and I quickly learned to use paint.net and have become a rather big fan in the short time I have worked with it - 2 weeks :shock: I had tried Gimpshop, and oh my goodness apart from quite a few errors and system notices poping up it just wasn't intuitive or easy to master - too many bugs for me - admitedly its a "port" of Gimp, but that in itslef requires a road map to get around. Thanks again and a donation is winging its way to the teams Dimitri easygoin.net (as always the last design job in the list and its mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
