Pin Reference Images
Goal of this feature is to provide an option to apply the canvas modifications to reference images based on the option selected in the Tool widget. This is implemented with four options position, zoom, rotate & mirror to allow them to be manipulated with canvas or image modifications .
Bug Request : Link
This is a great mock-up of this feature from Bugzilla.
Integrate Crop
This feature allows the reference images to be Cropped inside the Tool like the Crop Tool . Crop rectangle can be easily modified with the handles on the images and the sliders in the Tool box . So both are interconnected as well. The final crop action is in-destructible so the image is updated with original image and can be cropped differently again .
Bug Request : Link
Sync Reference Images
This feature updates the image with latest modifications . Since references are not meant to be modified , but they can be modified like other files in Krita and uploaded with any rectifications . So this will keep track of any modifications done to them and uploads it correctly . This is done via QFileSystemWatcher class and this functionality exists in Krita for some layers already .
This is shown in the last part of the demo video in which the yellow line is shown in the reference images.
Future Deliverables
Though the Project is complete and a great summer has come to an end but I will keep contributing and adding more features and bug fixes to the Reference Images in Krita.
