johnathanamber Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Hello, I have several layers and I am trying to merge two of them together. I have one layer on top of the other. When I highlight the top layer, then click the Merge Layers button on the Layers Window... only the bottom layer is left. The same happens if I use the Layer Menu Item on the menu bar. Microsoft .Net 3.5 SP1 is installed. Thank you, Johnathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) Save your work. Close Paint.NET. Then: Try running PdnRepair: Program Files/Paint.NET/PdnRepair.exe Then turn off and reboot your PC. Edited June 18, 2010 by Sarkut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 PdnRepair isn't going to do anything here, it isn't a magic cure all like that. It's only mean for installation-related issues. jonathonamber, when you merge two layers, you end up with 1 layer. That's the whole point of its functionality. Or are you saying that you have more than 2 layers, and after merging, only 1 layer in the entire image is left?

Hey Pat, I understand the merge layers option is supposed to 'merge' layer selected with the layer before it. I use it all the time. What I am saying is that I have layer 1 (with an image on the left with the rest of that layer being transparent), then I have layer two (with an image on the right with the rest of the layer being transparent) and when I select layer 1 and merge with layer two... all I am left with is layer 1 with the image on the left INSTEAD of images on both the left and the right due to the other side of each layer being transparent. A good example: Create two layers. -On layer 1 (top) place a large 'A' on the left. -On layer 2 (bottom) place a large 'B' on the right. (Make sure you can see both characters while having both layers active) Them merge layer 1 with layer 2. You should then have a single layer with BOTH 'A' and 'B' as shown with both layer being active. Problem is that when I do the above... I am left with only layer 2 'B' being shown instead of both 'A' and 'B'. Thank you for keeping up with this program Pat, it is great! Thank you and God bless, Johnathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnathanamber Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Ah, I just found the issue. It is my single PDN file. It is corrupt I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
