Okay Mat I got to point I can say a bit.
Regarding the issue of being able to "overlay" (I think you are working on something like that?). Seems absolutely right to me. All decent image editors work with LAYERS. You have a base layer that you rarely change once done. Then you add layers as needed. Layers can be filters for things like opacity. Or for "masking" (hiding etc). Or new drawn parts. You get the idea. I think the structure of TW could be well suited to this kind of approach. For instance, as I saw in an experiment of yours, I think, you overlaid a graphic Tiddler over another Tiddler. In other words you "layered". I can foresee some issues since I assume you'd use a bitmap Format? Scaling the two tiddlers & size may be an issue sometimes? Vector (SVG) would be lightweight and never have scaling issues, but TW does not support WYSIWYG svg editing. That was my main comment. Probably redundant as you seem already there! :-) Best wishes Josiah On Saturday, 29 February 2020 23:43:54 UTC+1, Mat wrote: > > In another thread > <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/O8PsOD8_Zwo/i5F5raavAQAJ>, > Jermolene commented on a statement of mine: > >> [Mat] I assume that's because it is still somewhat iffy to work with >>> images in TW, both to import or to draw them. >> >> [Jermolene] Drawing an image is one click if one has the “new image” >> button in the sidebar, hard to imagine it being much simpler.

It is also trivial, on paper, to write+draw "I ❤ > TiddlyWiki" but this is typically impractical when making a tiddler note.
