seanlieder Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I need to lock layers together so I can move all layers or selected layers together on the canvas. The only thing I can seem to do is to merge all the layers together and then move the image, but then that defeats the purpose of using layers. I can't find a way to do this yet and I can't find a plug-in that does it either. Am I missing something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Can't lock layers in Paint.NET, sadly. I believe Rick (the developer) is aware of this request and plans it for a later release (like 4.0, a ways off). That's just off the top of my head though.

Curmudgeon Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 could use the panelling plugin, and move one layer to where you want it, then select the next layer and ctrl+f to repeat the panelling, doing it for each layer you need moved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the ideal way that I would like to do it, but it works. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
120pi Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Yes. Being able to lock various layers would be extremely useful. I've run into this need many many times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
