The layers in Krita: Alpha lock, alpha inheritance, and groups

Hi, I made this tutorial to explain how the inherit alpha and lock alpha features work in Krita. This was a bit tricky for me to understand, mainly because I was completely new in digital media, but it’s actually not that hard.

I hope the video could be useful for you.

Now that I uploaded the video I realized I have some errors here and there, and that I could explain some things in a better way, but it’s done already and it’s good anyway.

I also think I sound a bit judgemental in my intro… to be honest, that intro was kind of an accident. I was just playing with animation and I just wanted to include them. It was just for fun… anyway, they are my very first animations ever!

Critics and corrections are always welcome and appreciated. Cheers!

I liked the intro, it was well made and had good points. The voice changeing/anonymising was funny :slight_smile:

You used the word ‘specificity’ when explaining the need to use groups.
I think the word ‘isolation’ is better because that’s what it does.
The content of a group is rendered in isolation before its rendered result is then incorporated into the layer stack rendering sequence (from bottom to top).

I watched this yesterday and really liked it. Shared it in one of my groups, too.
