We want to do away with that idea. + +A layer can have a number of permanent selections associated with it. +Such a selection can handle a composite method (determining the composition method +for the selected pixels) or a filter (making it an adjustment layer). + +Of course, a selection is just an 8-bit per pixel single channel layer that +belongs to a layer, so all filters can work automatically on a selection, +except that we don't have the ui for that yet. |
