That's what i got ^.

Can anyone help?

[Mr Frojo]

Cant you just flatten the image, save, then undo the flatten?

[Myrddin]

Mr Frojo is right, that would be the solution as the .png format cannot handle layers.

Not really related to the subject in hand, but the final release of Paint.NET 3.10 is available now. Betas are *so* yesterday .

That last line made me laugh.

[david.atwell]

Betas are *so* yesterday .

More specifically, they're *so* two weeks ago. :-D

After seeing this line I'd probably run scandisk to make sure that there is nothing wrong with your memory. There could be a problem there but, I'm no expert. Maybe someone else can chime in here...

[Rick Brewster]

My guess is you used a plugin beforehand that has bugs in it.
