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

  1. Go to File > Export OpenRaster.
  2. (Optional) Select the merged image check box to include an image in the file of all the layers merged together.
  3. Select Next.
  4. Navigate to the folder where you want to save the file, enter a File Name, and then select Save.
