Kemaru Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 A plugin that flattens the image and creates it on a new layer would be nice. I work with larger images than my laptop can handle (~10mp), so Flatten-Copy-Undo is painfully slow. This plugin would be really useful when editing colours on sigs, photos, manipulations (Apply Image - Gradient Mapping, Apply Image - Levels etc.) for example. I don't know if this is even possible, though.

pyrochild Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Plugins only have access to the currently selected layer. They can't modify or even see other layers.

Simon Brown Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm not sure what you mean. :? Do you mean flattening an image onto a new layer? Nevertheless, effects can only read the selected layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemaru Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Ok, I see. It would have been useful but I can manage without it. I'm not sure what you mean. :? Do you mean flattening an image onto a new layer?Nevertheless, effects can only read the selected layer. Yeah, that was what I meant.

Simon Brown Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 You could always open the image a second time and flatten it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Photoshop has a feature like this, called "Stamp Visible," that isn't in any toolbar or menu, but is Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F. It flattens all currently visible layers into a new layer that is placed on the top. It's really quite a good feature, and would be cool to see in PdN.

Rick Brewster Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Ctrl+Shift+F Ctrl+A Ctrl+C Ctrl+Z Ctrl+Z Ctrl+Alt+V There's your feature. Memorize it.

oma Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 couple of cliks I use that method all the time. what's it take all of 3 or 4 seconds max. don't really think it is plugin worthy. I definetly would not code a plug in for something so simple. besides by the time you hit effects found the plugin and hit the button you could have done the shortcuts Rick outlined above and been on to the next step in your picture. ciao OMA Quote  My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJXD Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 We dont all have systems like some of you guys, it takes upwards of 40 seconds to do that procedure on my computer, and thats only on 10 layers! If its not possible or would be too difficult then sure, but a feature like this would be nice too see, mabye not a plugin, but a feature.

Sarkut Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 This is good to know. I like to use Ctrl+Shift+V as the last step when I want to add it to the .pdn I have open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemaru Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Ctrl+Shift+FCtrl+A Ctrl+C Ctrl+Z Ctrl+Z Ctrl+Alt+V There's your feature. Memorize it. That is what I always do. But copying a big image is hard for my laptop.
