Hi All, Thanks for clarifying and sharing your thoughts about this. I should take more time before sending out the first mail. I hope it is not too late: I didn't intend to JUST remove any UI elements. When I show synfig to my students (adobe photoshop/illustrator advanced users), the are a

HI Yu! I have never used the Opacity preference before - it's always 1.0 when I use Synfig Studio. I can't imagine I would ever set it to any other value than 1.0 and I wouldn't mind if this preference was not exposed on the UI. Unifying terms is a hard question. Amount is only opacity when it's
