"Preserve alpha" for smudge tool


Recommended Posts

Please, add "Preserve alpha" option for smudge and mix brushes. Smudge frequently used to "fix" something (mix brush also) and fixing without alpha-changes really needed sometimes.

P.S.: Or add "keep alpha" options to whole layer... This way all tool will have such functionality

I think if you go into the Channels panel and switch off the editability of the Composite Alpha channel this protects the alpha

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Just checked it out, this does work. However, you'll have to toggle it again if you want to work on a new layer or manipulate preexisting layers that don't need to be preserved within the alpha. One of many unpleasant workarounds Affinity seems to be riddled with. Thank you Carl, nonetheless. I appreciate the tip.
