softlion Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Today i opened a psd file which 200 layers. Paint.net is very slow then (as all layers are flatten, pdn is missing hierarchical layers), but that is another problem. I wanted to hide some background layers and "copy merged" a selection. It took me 10mn to find all the backgrounds layers without this tool. In photoshop the tool exist as a property of the "move selection" tool. Ie: you must first select the move selection tool, then select "layer" in the properties toolbar. Any way to get that for v4 ? Will v4 be on github so we can clone and make patches ?

pdnnoob Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 What happens in the case of semi-transparent pixels layered on top of each other? Anyhow, name your layers well. It's a good habit to develop with or without the tool and can actually eliminate the need for such an option.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 In photoshop the tool exist as a property of the "move selection" tool. Ie: you must first select the move selection tool, then select "layer" in the properties toolbar. You can only move the active layer or a selection on it. Select the area, activate the tool and begin moving. Will v4 be on github so we can clone and make patches ? No. The source is NOT available.
