Line without command

You can omit commands to convert an image to another file format. For example :

lazpaint image.pdn image.png

will flatten and save a Paint.NET image into a PNG.

If you do not specify an output file, the application is opened with the resulting image. For example:

lazpaint image.png /RotateCW

will open the image with a 90° rotation.

You can also create an image out of nothing. For example :
