PNG PLUS (PNG+) v PNG Explained

There seems to be confusion out there from users of programs other then DIP/DIS so hopefully this will clarify.

Like most other graphics programs, DIP/DIS has it's own "Native File Format".
These files retain their indivudual layers within DIP/DIS so they can be altered later if necessary.

Example
Photoshop (PS) has PSD format.

Digital Image Pro/Suite (DIP/DIS) has PNG PLUS (PNG+). This is NOT the same as a normal PNG file.

PSD files will open in DIP/DIS but will NOT retain the layers. They will appear as flattened images.

PNG PLUS (PNG+) files will open in PS but will NOT retain the layers. They will appear as flattened images.

MOST of the DIP Divas templates have been made available in both PNG+ (single layered file for DIP/DIS users only) and Separate PNG files so those using other programs can use them.


Our file descriptions are very clear:
Download PNG+ for DIP HERE
Download Separate PNG Files HERE

Please check to see that you are downloading the correct file format.
