Masking with Image Imports

Hi everyone,

It would be awesome being able to import external images as masks. Currently, I have to switch to a different program for this single step.

My specific use case is in focus-stacked macro photography. After stacking a large number of pictures, I can generate depth maps, which are incredibly useful for depth based masking. Having this capability built-in would be huge.

Thanks and best regards

Ralf

You are bundling multiple feature requests into one. Fortunately, most of what you’re asking for is already covered in existing feature requests that have already accumulated a lot of votes. Search the forum for them and you will find them.

May I suggest that this new feature request topic be concerned only with importing external images to use as masks?

Hi Egregius,

thank you for your comment. I was searching for both topics to see if I could find existing feature requests - it seems that I didn’t use the right keywords. As you suggested, I changed the request and updated it.

Best regards

Ralf
