The main point of this feature is interoperability, and building some user trust into the OpenRaster file format. With this feature we provide a way to import a layered OpenRaster image into any application. Users can be certain that they will be able to edit the individual layers of their OpenRaster files outside of MyPaint later, without too much effort. See also: http://forum.intilinux.com/mypaint-help-and-tips/getting-the-most-out-of-the-ora-format/ The method there doesn't work well for post-processing in different apps because the layers have different sizes, and is way too hard to discover. Copy/pasting layers also works, but I think nobody has ever done it that way except after I suggested it. _______________________________________________ Mypaint-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-discuss
