Bug ID: 397368
Summary: quick colour picker picks colour from reference image
even if reference image is invisible
Product: krita
Version: 4.1.0
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Color Selectors
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: corne...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The quick colour picker (ctrl+leftclick while using Freehand Brush Tool), picks
colour from a refernce image even if Show Reference Images is off, so that the
reference images are invisible.
Problem: This makes it impossible to pick a colour from any other layer, if
there is a reference image at the location of the intended colour pick location
and can be confusing if one is unaware that there is an invisible reference
image getting in the way.
Additional problem: This behaviour is inconsistent with the regular Colour
Selector Tool. When using that tool, reference images are ignored whether they
are visible or not. (This behaviour is also incorrect: see bug 396144
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396144 )
Steps to reproduce:
1 create new document
2 drag an image onto canvas and select Insert as Reference Image
3 make sure the reference image overlaps at least a portion of the paintable
canvas (as it is possible to have it completely besides the canvas). If needed,
use Reference Images Tool to move it.
4 turn off Show Reference Images in View menu
5 select the Freehand Brush Tool (B) and move it to the area of the canvas
where the invisible reference image is located.
6 select colour by pressing ctrl + leftmouseclick
result: colour of reference image will be selected instead of colour of paint
layers.
Expected result: colour of paint layers should be selected, unless reference
image is visible. (If reference is visible it makes perfect sense to select the
colour of the reference image.)
Have not tried in newer builds of Krita. (I am currently working towards a
deadline, so am not at this time willing to risk messing anything up with the
setup by installing/uninstalling)
