Saving layouts in gimp?
 

How do I get gimp to save my layouts with the layers still intact?? After making several, I see that they merge them all together when I save. Thanks!

Re: Saving layouts in gimp?
 

Gimp uses it's own file extension, it's .xcf
So to keep all layers intact ensure you specify the .xcf file format, this way next time you want to play with your layout the layers are still all there. Only merge or flatten when you want to save as .jpg or .tif file format for uploaded to web.

hope this helps,
