Note: GIMP does not support grouping, and therefore, each layer is exported as
an item in GIMP.
You can open the QML file in Qt Creator for editing. If you edit the file in Adobe
Photoshop and export it to the same directory again, any changes you made in Qt
Creator are overwritten. However, you can re-export graphical assets without
recreating the QML code.

\section1 Preparing Files for Conversion
If you create vector graphics with other tools that have an Adobe Photoshop export
option,such as Adobe Illustrator, you can export them first to Photoshop and then
to QML.
To create QML files that are easy to use, prepare the Adobe Photoshop or
GIMP designs for exporting, as follows:
\list
\o To minimize the number of elements, minimize the number of layers or
use top-level layer groups, because each layer or layer group is
exported as a Text or Image element.
\o To make sure that all related elements are exported to the same
element, use top-level layer groups.
\o To determine that some layers are not exported, hide them, and
deselect the \gui {Export hidden} check box during exporting.
\o To make it easier to find the layers and layer groups after
exporting them, use descriptive names for them.
\o To make sure that image dimensions are preserved during export,
create at least one fully filled layer (which can be hidden), such
as a background layer. If the export script does not find a fully
filled layer, it resizes all images to the size of the canvas.
\o To prevent errors during export, make sure that the layers are not
locked. Locked layers cannot be exported.
\o To avoid unexpected results, do not use Blending Mode effects. They
are not exported.
