Feature Request: Top image and bottom image.

[Dracorat]

Currently, the token images for TT are placed above the token graphic.

It'd be nice if there was an option for one to be placed below too. (Giving us a background)

Also, can we do away with the need to magenta-block the outside edge? Perhaps auto detect the transparency of the outside?

The ability to put the overlay as an overlay is scheduled.

The magenta handling can't really be fully automatic because it's a subjective scale based on when you feel it sufficiently clears the redish color

But on images with alpha mapped transparency, couldn't we just use a "less than 50% transparency around the outside is the clipping zone" rule or some such??

The problem is that it's still subjective. If I hard wire it to 50%, the first thing that people will say is "can I change it".

However, that's not to imply that we couldn't make the initial guess much smarter at trying to get the right result the first time.

[Dracorat]

It's just a thought (and can I change it is a fair question btw).

But as it is right now, making a hard-aliased edge in a paint program can be rough. In Photoshop it takes me six steps to do it. And then if I make variants, that gets tedious. - especially if I didn't have to do it at all to start with.

(The steps:)
Select negative space with wand tool
Save Selection to new document
Convert selection to black and white image
Create new layer in source document
Load selection
Bucket fill

And yes, I am suggesting a feature to add to my laziness, but isn't that the point of programming to begin with?? =)

Yup !
