Ctrl + Click on thumbnail selects the opaque areas using the alpha channel. If you have semi-transparent areas they will be masked accordingly. To see how the mask is generated change the display mode of the selection from "ants" to "mask" (bottom left icon in the status bar) https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/selections.html?highlight=selection%20display#display-modes (In reply to vanyossi from comment #1) > Ctrl + Click on thumbnail selects the opaque areas using the alpha channel. > If you have semi-transparent areas they will be masked accordingly. Hi, sorry for bad report then. Is there a way to select it fully with this feature? Or transform current selection so it behaves like rectangular selection/lasso etc.? What should I do to be able to cut out this fully? Yes, this is not a bug, but the normal behavior; it is useful.
> What should I do to be able to cut out this fully?
A way in this case would be to :
1. After "Select opaque", create a temporary paint layer
2. Fill it with any solid color
3. Deselect
4. call Filter > Adjust > Color adjustement curves , set it to transform the "alpha" channel; and contrast the transparency with the curve so all the pixels non-transparent are now full opaque.
5. Redo "Select opaque" on this temporary paint layer, you'll have the silhouette only with 100% opaque pixels/cut-out shape.
(In reply to David REVOY from comment #3) Thanks! Really appreciate help! I've found much simpler way to do this, after select opaque just right click and convert to vector selection. Once again sorry for being overzealous! Next time I'll go to forums with that. Oh, thanks for sharing you tip; that's very interesting to know. And no problem about being overzealous. ;-) |
Created attachment 143882 [details] Screenshot of varying effect of single stroke SUMMARY When you use select opaque and you have anything that is not fully opaque (ctrl + thumbnail icon) selection behaves unlike any other selection e.g. brush strokes become transparent and you can't cut that selection. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have something not opaque (like gradient) 2. Ctrl+click layer thumbnail (select opaque) 3. Extend selection with some other tool (rectangular, lasso) 4. Brush stroke, or try to cut with ctrl+x OBSERVED RESULT Part that was selected with select opaque behaves differently than part that was selected with standard tools. EXPECTED RESULT Cutting that selection should be possible, also brush should behave same way in all parts of selection.
