Bug ID: 432847
Summary: Option for pick colour "eyedropper" to select from all
visible layers EXCEPT the current one
Product: krita
Version: 4.4.1
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Color Selectors
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: el.dodg...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When painting, I often want to sample from all layers OTHER than the current
when using the colour picker eyedropper or CMD/CTRL-click with a paintbrush. If
there is currently content on the layer, I just get what's already there.
In particular, I often quickly CMD-click sample, click paint, move, CMD-click
sample, click paint, move, etc. repeating this pattern quickly to sample
colours in small strokes from an existing image/photo/render layer (which I
keep at 70% opacity to track where I am) and paint them onto a layer where I
will blend them manually into proper brushstrokes. If I get even slightly out
of rhythm, I start accidentally sampling what I just put down and end up having
to undo a whole line of colour. This is admittedly a very specific use-case,
but it IS a use-case, and in general the ability to sample "everything else but
not this one" certainly can't hurt anyone B^)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE/OBSERVED RESULT/EXPECTED RESULT/ETC.
N/A (this is a wishlist item, not a bug).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This looks from here like it would dovetail with #395231 from what I can see,
as both involve enhancing eyedropper selection layer options if I read that one
right. I recommend anyone looking at this also look at that one.
