tanvirtonu1 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I added a layer, then theres no way to add any picture in new layer. If I import from file, it makes a new background .layer. But I want to make a new layer as forground and insert picture in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noswad Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Can you copy the picture, go to edit, and click paste into new layer? That's what I do. Quote Nos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanvirtonu1 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yes, that worked ...but I needed to import from a file first which makes a new unnecessary layer, then I copy the picture from this layer to another layer...I shud have done this with a single layer as I do in photoshop.

Hi tanvirtonu1 Welcome to the forum :-) when you use "Import from file" it places the image in a "new" layer as the top layer (most forground layer) , and just add the text ":background" to it which you can rename using the layer properties. If you already have a new layer you can do as Noswad said :-) Avi Edited October 26, 2012 by avim1968 Quote "DDAP=Don't Drink And Post!" :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanvirtonu1 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thanx a lot. When I import from a file it adds the image in a NEW layer but it names it- background layer. WHY ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 The new layer name is an amalgam of the imported File name and the name of the layer the image contains. If you have a file named Teddy.PDN and it has a single layer named 'Bear' the new layer name would be 'Teddy : Bear'. If the imported file does not support layering, the default name of 'Background' is applied to the imported layer. Hence the layer is called something like "Filename : Background" 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...
