Creating a new Layer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I have an idea and I'd like to know what you think about it.

Let's suppose a situation:

We make a 100 x 100px rectangle selection on a 2000 x 2000px, and we want to create a new layer to paint the rectangle, so when we  ask a for a new layer a popup is opened asking Name, Width, Height, etc, for the new layer, for default the Width and Height values are 2000px² (our document's size), we click "Ok" and we have a new layer.

My point here it is that we have a 2000px² layer for a 100px² object, and as I can see - as a user - a 2000px² consumes more performance(I don't know if it's Memory or CPU) than a 100px².

So my idea is to have a option when creating a new layer; maybe a checkbox with something like:


[__] Follow Selection's Size

Did I make myself clear?

Anyway, thanks for the attention,

Thales
