Exporting OpenRaster files
Files in the OpenRaster format, which have a .ora extension, preserve information in layers and can be opened with some other image editors, besides Pixelitor, such as GIMP. Also, an OpenRaster file is a type of archive file that is compressed using the ZIP format. Consequently, it can be opened with a tool such as 7-Zip to access the individual layers in it and a merged layer if one is present. The layers are in PNG files.
To export an OpenRaster file
- Go to File > Export OpenRaster.
- (Optional) Select the merged image check box to include an image in the file of all the layers merged together.
- Select Next.
- Navigate to the folder where you want to save the file, enter a File Name, and then select Save.
