I made a few grease pencil strokes over an image displayed in UV/Image Editor, is there a way to save an image that includes those strokes (except making a screenshot)?

Using "Save as Image" saves only the original picture:

  • $\begingroup$ The problem is, I will need it many times in the future, it's not convenient and wasteful to create screenshots of entire interface and send them back to artists with my comments. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I think in this case it would make more sence to use something link GIMP or photoshop to do the draw over, simply because they are designed for this type of thing. $\endgroup$

The most obvious workaround is to not use Grease Pencil at all and use texture painting instead. The "mode" button should be switched from "View" to "Paint" and then all the paint strokes are saved with "Save as Image" option.

OpenGL will render your what you see in the viewport. To render using OpenGL, click render > OpenGL render image

    $\begingroup$ I'm afraid this doesn't answer the question, because OpenGL render will render what is in viewport while the question is about exporting modified inside Blender image from UV / Image Editor. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ alternatively, you could add the image as a plane in the viewport. enable the addon "import images as planes" then open file > import > images as planes. $\endgroup$
