Shared layers request / proposal
Verfasst: Di 21 Mai 2019 01:20
A request to implement an option to repeat or share layers on all pages.
I create all my presentations in PhotoLine nowadays, as well as smaller print publications and mockups for digital apps/games, and the one thing really hampering the overall workflow is the lack of master pages, or simply the option to share / repeat a layer across pages.
Just a simple option to share layers/groups across pages would simplify this work tremendously.
I imagine this would work best with Groups.
Some additional thoughts:
- the visibility of the repeated/shared layers should be controllable on a per-page level.
- moving/transforming a repeated/shared layer on one page moves/transforms all instances on all pages.
- editing the group content changes them on all pages.
- blend mode and opacity changes are global as well.
- all Layer panel settings are global for all instances on all pages.
- otherwise they behave exactly like other group layers. It is possible to apply adjustment layers to one instance on one page. It is possible to use these repeated layers in other groups on a page.
