Document Properties

You can modify properties of your document using Edit -> Properties.

General

Loader

Specifies which file loader loaded the current document

Compatibility

Allows you to restrict NPSD features for compatibility with older versions of NPS Image Editor

Layer format

Specifies the internal format of NPSD layers. PNG is recommended. Not all formats are supported by all versions of NPS Image Editor or other viewers.

Color mode

Specifies the color mode of the file.

Allow semi-transparent palette colors

Some formats such as PNG allow semi-transparent colors in their palette while other formats such as GIF do not. Enable this option to allow modifying semi-transparent palette colors. Note that color lookup is unpredictable in this mode, but it will allow you to more accurately edit indexed PNGs.

Metadata

Specify various metadata to store into a saved NPSD file.

Animation

Provides options to control animation.

Enable animation

Enables animation controls in the main editor

Loop count

Specifies the loop count when saving as GIF or APNG. A loop count of 0 repeats forever.

Brush

Specifies brush properties

Color mode

A brush can be monochromatic and use the current foreground color when used, or full color with fixed colors.

Animation mode

Animated brushes can animate each frame sequentially or randomize them.

Spacing

Specify the default minimum spacing between strokes, in px. This can be overridden by the user.

Allow scaling

Allow the user to scale the brush using the drawing width. If disabled, the brush will always draw with its fixed size.
