--- Comment #5 from Tyson Tan <tysont...@gmail.com> --- Thanks for the replies. While admittedly the current implementation of our Colorize Mask is perfectly functional and not bugged, its UI design is difficult to understand and requires too much back and forth. Maybe it's just me but I never managed to understand its usage even after reading the documentation many times. (1) and (2) The switching back and forth between Freehand Brush and Colorize Mask Editing Tool is required by the need to toggle the settings of Colorize Mask in Tool Options docker. If we have only one Brush Tool that displays Tool Options by Layer type, there is no such need and a new user would have much easier time understanding the tool. (3) (4) (6) are simply the product of the tool being too slow. That option wouldn't be there otherwise. The waiting time is overbearing for a A4 300ppi image on a Core i7-8700. We have every reason to teach users that this option is their only way to a comfortable Colorize Mask. I knew Krita layers don't take up full image size unless what, but human is not robot, we can't ensure zero mistake. Tools for human-use benefits from a design that takes human error into account. In this case, cropping is the easiest way to clean up the image, and it requires the least explanation. Not to mention that Krita tend to produce unpredictable glitch pixels all the time doing certain color calculations -- like Transformation, perhaps? It's not always the artist's fault that the layer slowly creeps over of its initial boundary. (5) is where it gets so anti-intuition and the documentation lost me. I had already suspected an algorithm limitation before this so that's fine. If it's not amendable, we can improve our documentation so that the part where we make a particular color transparent has a dedicated figure or animation. What I reported here is the collective opinion from professional color manga artists who depend on this tool to do their job, given that, I'd consider their words to have a certain degree of truth, not to be written off completely so lightly. Personally I too agree with them after trying the tool out. I do understand the limitation of algorithm and your time. This is not a request but to communicate and suggestion of possible improvement. Sorry for posting reports that really is a wishlist but I was unable to find uninterrupted time for IRC discussion. If there is anything particular in my wording that is unpleasant, please let me know and I will improve that as well. Thank you for your time! :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
