paulieb81 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I found an error while editing a large .jpg this morning. I am using the latest 3.5.10 on windows 7 SP1 64bit. image details: 17.5mb file size 6300 x 7875 pixels 150 dpi 24 bit color depth These are my steps: I had a JPG photo open pasted another image from the clipboard into a new layer placed the layer where I wanted it resized the layer clicked flatten image from the menu tried to draw on the image using the pen tool where the "new" layer was drawing onto the original image (remember its flattened now, so there is only 1 layer) but the pen tool stopped writing when it hit the end of the "new" layer Steps I took to verify and resolve: Clicked undo on step 6 to remove my line i drew Saved image as JPG Reopened saved image Used pen tool to attempt to draw again and it worked as expected.

BoltBait Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You probably had an active selection that was preventing you from drawing outside of that selection. Before drawing, press the ESC key (or Ctrl-D) to deselect. Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulieb81 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 OK, but wouldn't a selection be deselected once the image was flattened? If not, it should be I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 No - a selection should remain active across a Flatten operation.
