M8R1n Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I use Paint.Net a lot to create images for Word. So I save in .jpg org .png. And everytime I save my work (which contains layers), Paint.Net asks if I want to flatten it. Can you please add an "Remeber my selection" check-box, or auto-flatten the image. I think, after seeing that dialog-box for 100x times, you know that there will be no layers afterwards. Alternatively, you could add a command "Save As Copy..." which doesn't ask for flattening, and will not change the currently active image. (This solution would not require you internally keep track of the user choices.) Thanks! Edited March 23, 2011 by M8R1n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 CTRL + SHIFT + F will flatten your image. Use this key combination before you save. If you save as a PDN file, you will not be prompted to flatten as Paint.Net's own file format (*.pdn) preserves the layer structure. In summary: 1. Save your working copies of images as a *.pdn (no prompts). 2. When your image is finished, CTRL + SHIFT + F (flattens your image). 3. Save As...., *.jpg Leaves you with a layered version and a flattened version. You can revisit the *.pdn version if you need to make changes Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M8R1n Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yes, thank you, that will work. Everything would be perfect if there would be also a keyboard shortcut to set the JPEG quality to 95% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 The Save Configuration dialog remembers the settings you used last time. When it pops up just press Enter and you're done.
