Using BGRALayers you can do

TBGRALayeredBitmap.InsertLayer(DestinationIndex, SourceIndex: integer)

Circular you really kick some butt.
Now  I am trying to move layers with a mouse. I got good example with moving
TShape,but when I try code with a LayerOffset it moves way to fast.

I suppose you should update your fixedx at each mousemove, because coordinates are relative to the shape in your example whereas they are relative to whole image with a layer.

circular,

In the function
function TBGRACustomLayeredBitmap.ComputeFlatImage: TBGRABitmap;
I offer to ammend code
Code: [Select]
  if LayerVisible[i] then
to
Code: [Select]
  if LayerVisible[i] and (LayerOpacity[i]<>0) then

Thanx,
Fenix

I've added some features in BGRALayers (on subversion). There are new functions :
- MoveLayerUp / MoveLayerDown to move up or down a layer in the stack
- Draw and ComputeFlatImage can take (firstLayer,lastLayer) as additionnal parameters, so you can draw a range of layers.
- Freeze/Unfreeze functions : you can freeze a range of layers that you will not change, so that they will not be computed again when you call Draw
- FreezeExceptOneLayer : a helper function that freezes everything and unfreeze one layer, useful for example if you move a layer, change only one layer, and when the movement is finished, you need to call Unfreeze to get all the layers updating again.

This freeze/unfreeze capability is only provided for optimization purposes. For example, if you try to freeze just one layer, it will not do anything, because there is no point in making a frozen copy of only one layer.

Hello people, i've just optimized advanced blending operations and layers with advanced blending operations.

TBGRALayeredBitmap has a new property LinearBlend (False by default) to specify if you want to use linear blending instead of gamma corrected blending (i.e. dmDrawWithTransparency).

TBGRABitmap has a new function :
BlendImageOver(x, y: integer;  Source: TBGRACustomBitmap; operation: TBlendOperation; AOpacity: byte; ALinearBlend: boolean);

Which does in one step the blending operation and the "merge over" operation. So you can render a layer with one call to that function.

Hello people,

I've added :
- OpenRaster support (layered bitmap file format with .ora extension).
- new blending operations : boDivide, boSoftLight, boHardLight, boExclusion, boLinearExclusion, boSubtract, boLinearSubtract, boSubtractInverse, boLinearSubtractInverse (increase interoperability with Krita image editor)

You can now load and save TBGRALayeredBitmap :
- load from Paint .NET (*.pdn) and from OpenRaster (*.ora)
- save to OpenRaster (*.ora)

Interoperability with Gimp is poor because Gimp handles poorly blendind modes in OpenRaster format.

Here is a test project for playing with layered bitmap files (you need to use lastest svn) :

This remembers me Corel Photo Paint it's really nice.

You will add free transform tool? (scaling, rotating, perspective, etc..).

When you finish this stuff you can try 9 slice scaling:

I've tryed to do something with this for BGRAImageButton and Windows 7 Drawer with BGRABitmapThemeUtils.pas unit in BGRAControls, it works, but it has limited functionality.

Well, i'm planning to merge it with LazPaint.

I don't see the link with 9 slice scaling. But it can be a tool added to LazPaint.

Check BGRAImageButton or BGRABitmapThemeUtils.pas in BGRAControls.

Well I've done just functions to scale with that, but there is no tool.

In google you can see how it works:
http://www.google.com/search?q=9+slice+scaling&rlz=1C1LENN_enAR480&sugexp=chrome,mod%3D15&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=es&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=aARWUNPXK4SA9gT654GwDg&biw=1092&bih=479&sei=bgRWUMCHGpSi8gT9qYCIDw

Edit: Also the functions in BGRABitmapThemeUtils are limited, you only can set 'BorderWidth' and 'BorderHeight', so you can't manipulate each of the 4 imaginary lines.

Edit 2: This is a really nice article:

Oh thanks. Well, yes it can be added as a tool. But I was saying that I don't see how it is related to layers.
