This thread is a continuation of Add ability to save clipping masks in PSD files and make it cross compatible as much as possible , which meandered quite a bit and contained a lot of digressions. In this thread, I would like to ask any participant to stay on the topic. I’ve seen that some people dis…

But the dropdown button is only for a while to pick between the clip or inherit. After u pick. It is just a one time click of a button of the one u choose. For the last pic i gave. It really just the same place where the alpha symbol is , just that u can pick either clip or inherit and it still just…

And here’s the clipping mask version: [afbeelding] The grey bar that I have used is optional. I prefer it over arrows, looking at this now. I was too lazy to add @tiar ’s icons for both mockups :sweat_smile: E: The one on the left is the current UI for reference.

Hey i like your mockup on the right. That i agree. So all of that on the top and only the active one showed next to the layer. Thats nice.

The problem with putting the clipped layers “inside” the clipping layer is that I don’t think you can maintain the inherit alpha as it is right now (inherit f…

I would say placing the layer which is going to be clipped below makes it confusing for existing users of krita as wellm as users from other software. As far as I know all other software show the laye…

[image] Hologram: I was immediately convinced that the approach of showing clipped layers below their mask is more intuitive to me. Clip studio too shows it like photoshop and krita. Also I think this will make it problematic when we have legacy inherit alpha and also when we want to use blen…

In Krita this is just a normal group with the ‘knock-out layer’ being a layer with the erase blend mode. I didn’t bother recreating his specific example but some quick test on my part confirm this. Unless there is some quirk to knock-out layer that he didn’t show in the video. I recommend you try …
