The problem is that the result of application of a parametric mask is a high-resolution bitmap (~100 MB uncompressed). Not the kind of information you want to store in the database or the xmp files.
In theory, it would be possible for one module to do the "parametric mask -> bitmap" conversion, and to provide it to another module further in the pipeline, but I guess that would break darktable's architecture (one big linear pipeline) rather severely. So, that's the kind of feature easy to dream about, but much less funny to implement :-\. ----- Original Message ----- > Is there maybe some workaround to "print" a parametric mask and then reuse > it as drawn mask? > I would like that feature. > Am 12.05.2016 13:06 schrieb "Roman Lebedev" <lebedev...@gmail.com>: > > > On Thu, May 12, 2016 at 1:46 PM, Jean-Luc Lacroix <jean....@lacroix.it> > > wrote: > > > If I create a parametric mask in one module, is there a way to re-use it > > in > > > another module? > > No. > > > > > It's possible with the drawn masks, but could not find how to do the same > > > with the parametric masks. > > > > > They also do not show in the Mask Manager. > > Correct. > > > > That is a feature, and was discussed previously. > > The same parametric mask, used anywhere else would result in different > > masked area, because the input would be different. > > > > > Cheers. > > > > > > Jean-Luc > > Roman. > > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________ > > > darktable user mailing list > > > to unsubscribe send a mail to > > darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org > > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________ > > darktable user mailing list > > to unsubscribe send a mail to > > darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________ > darktable user mailing list > to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
