Save all layers?

Recommended Posts

I want to make an animation with png's with alpha, where each layer will be one frame of the animation. Is there a way to save layers as an image sequence(...0001,...0002,...000X) automatically?

(I noticed that the icon-plug in was able to do something like that, but not for full screen png's)

No, you would have to save each layer individually. You can do this either by hiding each other layer (uncheck the boxes), flatten (Ctrl + Shift + F), save then Undo as to regain your previous layers or select all (Crtl + A) on the desired layer, Ctrl + C to copy, Ctrl + Alt + V to paste that onto a new canvas then save that.

If you're wanting to save all the layers under one file name don't forget that Paint.NET's own file type (*.pdn) will preserve all your layers, layer names, blend modes, order etc., this is handy if you wish to come back to the project at a later time.

Hope this helps you.

What I do is I make a canvas setting, a point where I can make all the changes and I memorize where it is in the history. I make each frame from there, once I finish a frame I flatten it all and save the .gif as "whatever1.gif" , then I go back to that point in the history and make the second frame, then flatten my layers, before saving as "whatever2.gif" and so on. It makes it a lot easier with a long animation.
