Painterman Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hello I have made an image which consists of four layers and now i want to move the content of layer 3 & 4 to positioning them elsewhere in the image, however i can't seem to figure out how this is done - ie. i have looked for some locking mechanism which would enable me to lock the layers and move the stuff i want, but i can't find it ! Does this mean that it's not possible to move contents from two layers at the same time in PDN or do i miss something ? also i have thought of just merging the two layers, but i'm reluctant to do this, because i'm not sure that it is possible to un-merge them again should i want to change something in one of the layers !

Myrddin Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 It is only possible to move things on one layer at a time by using the selection tools and move pixel tool (all found on the top section of the toolbox); there is also no 'lock layers' feature as of yet. As for merge, you may undo (Ctrl + Z) the last action you did (if it is the merge) but if you have done many things after that when you undo you will have to undo all the steps that came after. e.g. 1. merge 2. edit 1 3. edit 2 4. edit 3 If you feel you need to unmerge you will have to undo, but that also means undoing edits 1-3 as well. Hope this helps and makes sense. How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painterman Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 That's a huge disappointment - but, thanks anyway This feature must be added to the everexpanding To-Do list, because i feel that a great program like PDN definitely should include this feature also - ie. it's only natural to have this option when one has the ability to work with layers and it doesn't make any sense why it shouldn't be there.

Myrddin Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 No problem Painterman. People are making do and are quite happily working around this which is why I believe it isn't a priority as of yet. Maybe one of those things in v4.0 hopefully. How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halotroop2288 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 What about a plugin? Can anyone find/make one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The built-in Rotate/Zoom tool 'remembers' its last used settings. So to move two or more layers by the same amount, just run Rotate/Zoom on each layer without changing the settings.Perhaps not an ideal solution but Effect plugins can only access the active layer. Bit of a 'necropost' sorry - if you are having problems halotroop please start a new thread. Red ochre Plugin pack..............

david.atwell Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Got my hopes up for Myrddin's return. The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
