I know, these two tools serve two very different purposes; I'm not worried
about that. Instead, I'm wondering about the manner in which each mask is
displayed....
Can the QuickMask tool be tweaked to allow configuring two display
colors/opacities - one for the "unselected" end and another for "selected" end
of the channel? Currently (well, 2.6.12 anyway) the QuickMask essentially
displays as a color-to-transparent gradient map on top of your image. Which
works, but a FG-to-BG type gradient would be more flexible. You'd still be
able to swap which color corresponds to which end, and you could easily
duplicate the current behavior by configuring one of the mask colors for 0%
opacity. Which means that the QuickMask's popup menu could, for example, look
like this:
- Toggle QuickMask
-----
- Selected color/opacity...
- Unselected color/opacity...
- Swap colors
Contrast "Show Layer Mask", which overlays a 100% opaque black-to-white
gradient and whose colors/opacity (as of 2.6.12) cannot be configured. Can
that be made configurable? Sure, the 100% solid gradient is useful, but
there've been a few cases where I would've liked a less-than-opaque value (say,
80%) so I can still see some hint of the layer underneath the mask.
