PNG files

Post by Faye »

When saving a PNG file in PSP it merges all the layers. Can it be saved as a PNG file and still keep all the layers? If it can, can you please tell me
how to do that. Searching in how to has resulted in no help. Thank you, Faye

PNG file format doesn't support layers I'm afraid. You will have to at least also save your image in pspimage format to retain the layers. PNG does, however, support transparency.

Even when saved as Photoshop format (*.psd) vector objects loss their edit possibility.
So best is *.pspimage format.

There is some script I think that export each layer as single PNG, if helps. Perhaps somebody knows about it better.
