Version: 1.5-beta1 (using KDE 3.5.1-1ark, Ark Linux - H2O) Compiler: Target: i586-ark-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.16-0.rc2.1ark A function that i use a LOT when doing web design work is GIMP's copy merged function, in combination with Paste as new. Krita 1.5 now has Paste as new, and it works spectacularly well, thanks guys! Now, what i was pondering now is - copy merged is all good and i would love to see that also, however... Copy layers cropped. Those two functions together, or either alone, would be wonderful to have. Copy layers cropped would add one single extra step to my work-flow when doing cutouts, but... as long as there is a hotkey assignable to merge layers, i for one shall be perfectly fine, because the potential gain from copy layers cropped is high :) (and for the record: yes, i know image based web layouts are a sin ;) )
I'm not sure I completely get what you want -- is the following correct? * Copy merged: create a selection on a group, press copy: the clipboard now contains the selected area of all layers rendered in the group together. This is hard to do at the moment, because I forgot to implement creating selections on groups :-( * Copy flatten: create a selection (on any layer), press copy: the clipboard contains now the selected area of the complete rendered image. This would be easy to do, after 1.5, because it would entail a new action and new strings. * Copy layers cropped: select an area in a group, press copy, the clipboard now contains layer group with all sublayers separate, but cropped to the outline of the selection with for every sublayer, only the selected pixels copied. (This is also hard to do, but I think it would be the right way to handle selections on group layers.
That is exactly what i was thinking :) Especially copy flattened would be of great interest at least to me, since that's one of my tricks, so to speak, that i use in the gimp when doing picture-based web designs :)
I welcome a feature "combine layers" with option "[x] flatten transparancy with background color [white]" to flatten a pic. As a workaround I add a new Layer with mybackground color. Save as jpeg. Works with other programms which can't show transparent pictures like the kino videoeditor.
I think this is already possible in krita now,and should probably be closed
Confirmed fixed.
