#FIREALPACA RESIZE ONE LAYER HOW TO#

A good reference for it is Krita's 'Brush selection tool', which is what I had in mind when I listed it.

It could be combined with eraser mode to 'cut away' That's what I was referring to when I listed 'selection via brush strokes ('paint' a selection)' as a selection creation method. Similar to eraser mode, it would turn the current brush into a brush that affected the selection instead of drawing. I had a random idea about selection tools, and that's that it would be cool to have a 'selectify' modifier. I bolded the ones that I think appear most often (and are generally expected) and can't be emulated with combinations of other selection-related actions. I probably missed some other uses that don't immediately come to mind, too. Some of this would be out of scope for MyPaint, probably, because it's not trying to be as complex as Gimp or Krita, but it helps emphasise how complicated selection and related operations can be. Set MyPaint's image frame to the selection (or closest possible rectangle), as an analogue to Select->Crop behaviour.Apply transformations on the selection, such as rotating, resizing, etc.Shorthand for cut->new layer->paste to layer->move layer->merge Basically a way to save a selection for later.

Shorthand for cut, create new layer, paste to layer. With MyPaint's infinite canvas, may only be able to approximate it based on the image size or the frame settings. Create selection from boundaries of image or frame, analogous to ' select all'.Sometimes done via handles on the current selection, or by allowing add/subtract behaviour with normal selection methods. Editing selection, via adding to or removing from the current selection.

It's not even obvious how creation should work.

It's fairly obvious how selection creation should work, but how to work with selections? What should the user be able to do with them?

Accept brushstroke dabs only within the selection.

Transform to a layer (& thus to a mask?).

Some mockups would be nice: it's fairly obvious how selection creation should work, but how to work with selections? What should the user be able to do with them? No time to work on this before 1.2, deferring it again. This cannot be done unless there are tools to create a selection (either through circles, squares, freeform, etc.), and cut/copy/paste/move/otherwise transform it (or the entire layer's contents)Īs long as its not as overly complicated as The GIMP's excuse for this feature (which requires going through 3 different tools to move/resize/etc.), this would be great. Sometimes, an artist may wish to simply move something they had drawn, either to make room for something else, or to reposition something mispositioned. Okay, this is a slightly obvious, yet slightly important one: Migrated here from Gna! bug 19207 because this is such a frequently requested feature.
