Rick Brewster 1,387 Report post Posted April 8, 2012 No ... I don't recall ever saying that would happen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NinjaManDan21 25 Report post Posted April 8, 2012 I don't see the point for a "copy merged" function. Please enlighten me because there's something I'm not getting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Ryan 13 Report post Posted April 8, 2012 I am hoping it means that we can copy a flattened version of the image to our clipboard. That'd be pretty rad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ego Eram Reputo 2,362 Report post Posted April 9, 2012 That's it. The "copy merged" copies from the whole image (composited from visible layers). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kemaru 44 Report post Posted April 9, 2012 copy merge = photoshop's apply image?. If so, it's a really great function I've been hoping to get for some time. flatten+copy+undo on 16mp images is somewhat processor-heavy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NinjaManDan21 25 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Will the layer blending be able to be applied to individually affect certain layers? Because I often use the layer blending to get a look I like but when I merge it it blends differently. Edited April 10, 2012 by NinjaManDan21 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Brewster 1,387 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 I'm not sure what you mean. When you merge two layers together with different blend modes (or rather, if the top layer is anything but Normal), then you will "lose" certain blending effects because the two layers' blending modes can't be combined (mathematically speaking this is probably possible, but not in Paint.NET, it'd require the ability to dynamically generate new blend modes which were combinations of the stock blending modes). So, "Merge Down" only does what would be considered the proper thing when the top layer is set to Normal blending mode. Anything else will result in a change to the way the full image appears. As for the tools' new blending modes, it is a setting for the tool when you're drawing with it and affects how it blends into the layer's existing pixels. Nothing more. Has nothing to do with the layer properties. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goonfella 217 Report post Posted April 18, 2012 What I would love to see is simply the ability to link two or more layers together so you can move those elements around the image without the hassle of having to line them up again. No merging , copying or pasting involved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Brewster 1,387 Report post Posted April 22, 2012 It's done. Finally! After RMAs and hours of troubleshooting, I found the one little jumper switch that enabled everything to boot up and work just fine. Silly Intel Management Engine firmware. I had to set it to "recovery mode," but I don't care about tracking my corporation's PCs outside of my network or when they're not powered up, so there's no real loss. 2x Intel Xeon E5-2687W Asus Z9PE-D8 WS motherboard 32GB DDR3-1600 RAM Intel 520 SSD 240GB for C: drive (new) Intel 310 SSD 300GB for D: drive (old) (this is where the paint.net source code lives) EVGA GeForce GTX 570 (reused, no need to upgrade) Corsair AX850 power supply (new, 850W) RAM is cheap though. I'm tempted to go all the way to 64GB! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea, but I wouldn't hold your breath. 4.0 is at the point where any features have to be of the "it can't ship without this" type, so that I can finish it up this year.
