Save editable originals separately from viewing and distribution files. Hiding a background, scaling an image and adding canvas space have different results, so choose the right operation and reopen the exported image.
Before choosing a task
- Choose an editable source format and an output format supported by the destination.
- Change masks, dimensions or color on a copy, keeping a way to reverse the edit.
- Check transparency, dimensions, text and color in another viewer after export.
