{{FeatureTodo|Make it easier to create new gradients (ideally it would use the same docker than vector gradients).|}}
{{FeatureTodo|Allow to move selections.|}}
{{FeatureInProgress|Improve the transform tool (when you drawn something bad, the transform tool is often the last solution before redrawing everything).|mpeg}}
{{FeatureDone|Remove the "hidden" layer property change from the undo stack (if you just want to compare a new version to an old version, you will have to undo several times).|}}

{{FeatureDone|- Modifier key need to be used more
* for selection tools : to switch easily between add/replace/intersect modes.
* for paint tools : pan, color pick, change the brush diameter.|}}
{{FeatureDone|Features that are tools in other apps are composite mode or paintops in Krita[3]. We should make sure that it is as easy and as fast to select them than in others apps. For example, if I want to erase with the current brush:
*in krita I must click the mode combobox, go down in the drop down menu, and select "Erase" (3 clicks).
*in photoshop, I would just click the erase tool or hit the "e" key.
I suggest to make it possible to assign a shortcut to composite modes.|}}

{{FeatureTodo|fix inconsistencies in masks by switching to a mask-selection-greyscale image paradigm. Then, masks and local selections would be the same thing, the user would just change the view mode by clicking a button. It'll make the workflow simpler, and allow powerful features
* gradient, paint tool and filters could be used to edit a selection (in mask or image mode).
* painting in a mask would be the same than painting in a paint layer.
* no need to show a selection in filter/generators layers, etc |}}

[1]In the long run, maybe a "resource manager" would be a good idea. It would be used to organize everything : brush presets, gradients, patterns, colors palettes, curve presets, vector shapes, filter effects, text styles... Koffice-wide.

[3]blur, desaturate = filter paintop, dodge/burn tool = dodge/Burn composite mode, eraser tool = eraser mode, duplicate tool = duplicate paintop, ...
