| Excuse the double post in the first the subject went somehow lost and the rest reformatted in a weird way with question marks filling blank spaces -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May be that this long discussion suffers a lack of communication? to summarize 1 " brushing a transparent color" is exactly as use the eraser (if there is a alpha channel) Maciej Pilichowski seems agree on this point 2 SO what is missed seems just a equivalent of "AIRbrushing a transparent color",,..a option in the eraser tool to use airbrush instead then a brush will solve that, and for sure will be a cool new feature. 3 May be is missed, also the possibility to select transparent area as was a color,meaning using the magic wand or the color selector tool.. But since there is "alpha to selection"(=select transparency) that is no too missed... well IS missed its usability since that option is hided in a weird place and is not too clearly labeled( Layer menu really do not seems most intuitive place to search function related to Selections) For usability may be good add to the "select by color" dialog a checkbox "select transparency",..that checkbox if checked will simply call "alpha to selection" function and then invert selection(this from a developer's point of view..from average user's point of view that will just "select the transparency " as required) To my logic (inverted)"alpha to selection" may be well seen as a subset of "select by color" (in this case will be "select by absence of colors " that as concept seems strictly related and may be called more clearly "select transparency" i believe a "use airbrush" option for eraser tool and a "select transparency" checkbox added to " select by color" will be a nice addition also for who is no much interested to " paint with transparent color" then a question for Maciej Pilichowski..i understand you well? a "airbrush-eraser" to allow to "airbrush transparent color" and a more intuitive place and name for "select transparency" will realize your wishes? A palette with transparent color will be meaningless since if transparent the color will be not visible already gimp has gradients with "transparent Color" |
