Is it possible to save the shapes separately so they can be edited later?

Question

After saving and reloading the image, the shapes are combined with the image and not editable anymore. Is it possible to save the shapes separately so that they are still editable after reloading?

Hi Jason, 
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 
 
Your requirement can be achieved by using the Serialization and Deserialization. The image editor control provides support to serialize and deserialize the shapes, so that we can save the current state of the image editor by calling the SaveEdits() method and we can load the shapes back by calling the LoadEdits() method over an image. The code snippet is provided below. 
 
Code snippet: 
 




Serialization: 
Stream stream =  editor.SaveEdits(); 
 
Deserialization: 
editor.LoadEdits(stream);
