Well, I don't mind internals at all -- what I wish that for user (frontend) Gimp could behave like transparency would be also a color. You like working with alpha channel and using distinct set of tools -- voila, you like to work with color tools only -- voila. Just an example: how to create black area. Select area and fill it with black color. How to create transparent area. Select area and cut it off. This not the best example, because one can always argue "what is so hard to learn that you have to cut it off", but my point is -- why learn extra way in the first place. You are a master of fill feature, you set options, you change the fill "color". Occam's razor. The same applies to other tools. Again, every effect is doable now, but the UI would be much cleaner with the notion "colors", not "color, and oh that extra transparency channel" so it is treated like something alien among colors (in nature it is not -- water, glass, air are transparent as well as the chalk, snow, paper are white). > A palette with transparent color will be meaningless since if > transparent the color will be not visible But it can be presented in meaningful way, as much as it is now in the image.
