Is There Anyway to Turn a PNG into an FCW

So I was working on a map and I accidentally got rid of my save file. Tens of hours in and the most recent save file is ten hours back. I just need to add a little more on top of what already exists, is it possible to work on the 8462 x 4760 png I saved?

  • Autosave for some reason is even further back than my most recent backup

  • The PNG is only pixel data, so you will not be able to turn it back into the various assets, layers, and effects that added up to become that particular pixel or that was totally separate from the pixel next to it.

    That being said, you should be able to import the image to a new map by click+drag into the program. If you just need to add a couple symbols it may work - but if you need to add symbols and have them interact with previous symbols in the saved image (such as for shadow boundaries or to have previous symbols partially overlap on the new ones) it might be more of a struggle.

  • Yeah. Just import it onto its own sheet and layer. Use that as a guide to remake the map. Then delete the png.
