Imaginary Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 After placing an image file in a document the newly created layer is of the "Image"-type, which might be ok to avoid recompressing the image, if you plan to export the document as pdf. But it is necessary to ratserize this layer in order to make pixel manipulations to it. I forget to do this almost every time I place an image, thus pixel manipulations just do not work but AP does not even complain that it is an image layer I want to work on... So it would be very handy to have a menu item "Place As Pixel Layer...". I think this could be solved by a macro, but I would prefer the command in the "File" menu. shojtsy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 If the Assistant is enabled, the Image Layer will automatically convert to Pixel Layer before editing.

Imaginary Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 That is true, but the assistant does not kick in when you try to flood select on an image layer or make a selection and try to copy it somewhere else. In this case just nothing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Yes, it is true. Layer conversion request for any operation?
