Description Ahab Greybeard 2020-03-25 11:58:02 UTC

SUMMARY

This applies to all versions of krita.

You can convert an animated paint layer to an animated transparency mask (right-click layer -> Convert -> to Transparency Mask)

However, if you try to convert an animated transparency mask to a paint layer, you get a non-animated layer with just the currently selected frame as the image.

It would be useful if you could convert an animated tranparency mask to an animated paint layer.

(I'm manipulating animated transparency masks and it's a lot easier to do this if they're animated paint layers. I can effectively render out the animated transparency masks as an image sequence and then import them back in as an animated paint layer to work on them but this is extra work.)

Yes, that would be good :)

WISHGROUP: Small Usability Fixes

Comment 2 Emmet O'Neill 2020-04-13 20:08:02 UTC

I'd argue this is more of a bug than a wishlist item. We should be able to convert from x to y and back to x without any significant loss whenever possible. I'll add this to our todo list.

Fixed animated transparency mask -> paint layer conversion.

Before, converting an animated transparency mask to a paint layer
would discard everything but the active frame. Now, each of the
animation keyframes is converted correctly.

@Emmet, is it possible to merge this into the krita/4.3 branch?
