However, I think it's an artificial limitation and has two drawbacks: First, it is non-obvious, if not outright confusing; Second, formats that _do_ support layers (most notably Photoshop) will defeat this. Dragging the layer to the toolbox works very well. I highly recommend making this a tip if it is not already. It just seemed most intuitive to me to have an export option available at the l&c menus. This is where I first looked and thus I would think that's the best place to put it. =) It also seemed easy enough. If you folks think not to do because of the drag-n-drop feature, that's fine, but it should definately be a tip. regards, Christopher
