I know Krita has its own workaround that gives similar functionality within Krita itself, but lacking actual clipping masks severely impairs compatibility with other apps via PSD, as all clipping mask info fails to translate to and from PSDs. As everyone knows, PSD is the format that bridges all pai…

I actually agree on the usability aspect as well, but I just wanted to be clear my primary motivation in bothering devs for layer clipping masks/2nd mode for inherit alpha is cross-compatibility, since I can make do with inherit alpha within Krita exclusively just fine. Even when I was clear about t…

[image] Deif_Lou: I must say I would like having the new inherit alpha mode (ability to inherit only from the layer right below) Personally, I would like for that to be extended to have a choice of layer targets.That’s what I want to see in Krita.

Do you mean a random set of layers/groups or a given number of layers below the one selected?

Inherit alpha is pretty much one of the few things that stops me from using Krita in professional settings (where many people work on the same file) and from suggesting Krita to other people. The system pretty much works (the end result) about the same as other programs, but with more steps, while a…

The second one with the catch of not just bottom, but top too.

[image] Reptorian: have a choice of layer targets [image] Reptorian: not just bottom, but top too [image] I made such a model a few days ago: we can set the color of the layer, and then inherit the alpha according to the color. If there are multiple layers, blend them. At first I ju…

Yes, some serious sanity checks would need to be in place. So you can’t for example cross-inherit alpha between layers. Or you can’t inherit alpha from a group the layer in question is part of. I’m not 100% sure this would be a good idea.

@hulmanen Good point, and having such options would require a lot of time to pull off. Ideally, we would have something like this with some issues fixed there and there due to the flexibility this mode would have. @TheTwo That’s what I’d like though I would like to be able to specify a single layer…

I find all these ideas to be better only by giving compatibility to PSD the most stupid ideas ever. Krita is not a free Photoshop and should not fight for it the least bit what it should be is to be better than not replacement of the subscription because this is what this proposal is at its core. I…

[image] EyeOdin: I find all these ideas to be better only by giving compatibility to PSD the most stupid ideas ever. While some people want this, I personally came here to suggest improvement to inherit alpha. Not for compatibility for PSD, and yes ORA should be supported, but there are zero …

Add ability to save clipping masks in PSD files and make it cross compatible as much as possible
