(For layers, the user would have to remember whether to activate the layer above or below.) #4: The Layers window is not cluttered with "zone layers". > Lets try another description: > Drawing zones would be like 2 or more non-overlapping selections > that are active at the same time.

If the only difference is whether a mouse-click is used on the canvas or a keystroke/menu/widget action is used to invert the selection, I suspect you shall have a difficult time convincing the GIMP developers to add your concept of a "drawing zone" to the core and have it honored by all the paint tools. -------- "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." -- Harry S.
