Most image formats (png, jpg, psd, etc.) have zero support for layers, so when you export to such a format they will become flattened by definition; that is not a bug.
This is why there's a distinction between "Save" and "Export". Save uses GIMP's own format (xcf) which preserves the layer structure. So make sure you are using the proper command for the job. -- Stratadrake [email protected] -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ________________________________ From: gimp-user-list <[email protected]> on behalf of Carol Spears <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2017 1:46 PM To: Creighton Cc: gimp Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] Saving layers On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 3:46 PM, Creighton <[email protected]> wrote: > How do I save a project's layers? > I've exported or saved as .psd, .xcf, .jpg.
