Saved as a .ZPR, now I can't edit mesh

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I saved a model I was painting (Using Photoshop and Zapplink), but didn’t notice that it saved as a .ZPR. Now I cannot bring my model back into “edit” mode so I can continue moving and painting it.

Is this because I saved it as a .ZPR (which I looked up is supposed to save everything in the project), or am I missing a vital step that will allow me to go back into “edit” mode?

Thank you for the help :slight_smile:

when using Zapplink the model is dropped to the canvas. Which makes it 2.5D until you pick it up from the canvas. If you saved the file while it was still dropped on the canvas and never returned to edit mode there isn’t a way to get it back.

Always make sure you’re still in edit mode when you save out a .zpr. I also always save a .ztl just to make sure.
