Follow-up Comment #13, bug #20317 (project mypaint): > Unless the picture is highly symmetrical, the orientation seems obvious to me. But a little 3..5 pixel high arrow on the top of the rectangle wouldn't make it much more distracting than it already is.
It's mostly mirroring I'm worried about. That's not really intuitively obvious anyway, at least not to me. If there's no drawing on the canvas, it can be a little tricky to figure out where you are too. A symbol like ◭ or ↾ somewhere near the top of the preview rectangle might be OK. Painttool SAI uses an upwards stroke to indicate the top of the main view in its preview tool http://murz.wordpress.com/2008/01/20/paint-tool-sai-to-retain-or-not-to-retain/ http://gabrielhage.deviantart.com/art/SAI-Screenshot-256052049 but I'm not sure whether SAI does mirroring or not. I also like that the view manipulation buttons are right there next to the preview: that's a nice, intuitive arrangement. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?20317> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Mypaint-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/mypaint-bugs
