Do you mean a way to convert a layer's to a reference image?

Maybe a layer, but I'd prefer the  whole, visible image.

I'm not sure if you mean converting the current image (like New Layer From Visible thing) or an image opened in another tab, but I think all of those will be useful either way.

Comment 5 Jo 2020-12-16 17:20:21 UTC

an image opened in another tab

Everything else sounds more complicated
