In the above, we have our layer with a white scribble on the left, and on the right, the same layer, but with alpha inheritance active, limiting it to the combined area of the iris and eye-white layers. We add a layer for the highlight above the other two layers, and add some white scribbles. Here we do that with the iris and the eye-white layers. You can do this by making a group layer and drag-and-dropping the layers into it, or by selecting the layers you want grouped and pressing the Ctrl + G shortcut. To get a clipping mask working, you first need to put layers into a group. We want to add complicated multi-layered shading to this, while keeping the neatness of the existing color flats.
Here we have an image with line art and a layer for each flat of colors. A situation where this is particularly useful is the following: When we turn on alpha inheritance, the alpha-inherited layer keeps the same transparency as the layers below.Ĭombined with group layers this can be quite powerful.
The exception is when using pass-through mode, meaning that alpha inheritance won’t work right when turning on pass-through on the layer. In other words, in Krita group layers are in effect distinct images inside your image.
Rather, in Krita, group layers are composited separately from the rest of the stack, and then the result is added into the stack. That’s because in Krita, unlike such software, a group layer is not an arbitrary collection of layers. Krita doesn’t have clipping mask functionality in the manner that Photoshop and programs that mimic Photoshop’s functionality have.
