Version: svn trunk (using KDE 4.5.1) OS: Linux I would like to have an "Onto" blending mode, to can use shapes and/or ordinary paint layer as mask. ( For instance in a layer group, setting the top layer with the picture to display to Onto mode, the layer(s) under is/are the mask(s) ) Another way would be to have an Alpha blending mode, doing the opposite ( then in a layer group, the picture to display would be the last one, and layers above in Alpha blending mode would be the masks ) So having at least one of these modes would do the trick! (having both modes would be perfect ) For reference these blending modes exist in Synfig studio (you may take a look at their code to have an idea) Reproducible: Always
EDIT: Forget about the "alpha" one, it makes much less sense than the "Onto" one.
Erase this one. Not necessary anymore with the new alpha switch.
