Use convert from ImageMagick (of GraphicsMagick):

convert pic.xcf pic.png

Not good. Produces 10 png files, for each layer one and they even crash gwenview.
I need the image as it would appear in gimp, layers enabled, opacity levels set etc.

That would not do what is required. It would just created an output file with a single layer instead of a single file with the same layers as in the original xcf file.

Cheers!

Kevin.

Can PNGs have layers?

Can PNGs have layers?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: the PNG specification allows for private format extensions, so applications can add all sorts of features and store them in a PNG file. No other application is required to support those, however.

For example, Adobe/Macromedia Fireworks does this and adds vectors and layers to the PNG files (its native(iirc) file format). This tricks some users without comprehensive file format knowledge into regarding those as PNG standard features.

Michael

xcf2png from xcftools is quite ok, but thanks.
