Mattt Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thank you for an awesome, free product. Why does it have to flatten to save as jpg, png, etc? I understand why technically, but why does the user need to care? You should be able to save as JPEG and keep your layers as long as the file is open. Obviously opening that JPEG, you will have no layers. I just end up having to undo the flatten every time. Why is 100% JPEG quality still bad? 100% JPEG quality is not actually 100%. I can still see artifacts. When using alternative, more expensive programs, 100% JPEG quality results in a very crisp, albeit large, JPEG.

Sarkut Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 There are ways of saving out a jpg, png, etc. that don't require undoing the flattening, but they don't actually reduce the number of keystrokes/mouse-clicks involved. So, not really what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattt Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 See this post. How about an option in the preferences? A lot people who come from Photoshop are used to this behavior and aren't disappointed to open a layerless JPG afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
