To do so, go into Select ‣ Show Global Selection Mask. Bonus: it works recursively on entire groups of layers. It can also rotate your selection in space.
To do so, you first need to activate the global selection as a layer node. In this tutorial, we explore the basic free transform in Krita, which allows you to rotate, move and scale your selection.
You can modify the global selection the same way you can with a local-selection. If you are interested, I can can give you step-by-step instruction. Any of these can be activated and used at any time. The only thing I know about Krita is that its similar to Gimp, and if that is so, youll probably be better off doing it in Inkscape, as it would be much easier to resize, rotate and move around. The example below shows three LSM items all attached (under) Layer1. LSM’s are one of the most important features in Krita! Not only would this be inefficient for you but also for Krita and the program would slow down trying to keep up with it all. Without using LSM you would have to create layer upon layer for each mask. Its possible this way to move/scale/rotate/transform any type of selection. This is important because it means that you can, for instance, have several different outline parts of an image and save each as its own LSM and then recall it with a single click. Thanks For moving a selection in Krita, the workaround is to create an empty paint layer, and then Ctrl+T to transform the empty area. A single layer can contain multiple Local Selection Masks (LSM). When isolating a selection mask with the Alt + shortcut, you can perform transformation, deformation and paint operations on the selection layer, modifying the selection.Ī single layer can contain multiple Local Selection Masks. To create a Local Selection Mask, you must first create a selection, then on the desired layer and select Local Selection. Just click the round icon with the dotted outline on the local selection layer in the Layers docker. One difference is Krita's ability to assign them to specific layers and activate a selection with a single click on the layer. To rotate an image either select Rotation angle from the Tool Property Palette or a transformation option from Mode You can move, clip, or rotate a selection. They work in a similar way to extra channels in other image editing programs. Local Selection masks let you remember and recall edit a selection on a layer.
