Feature Request: PicLayer: Specify Opacity and Alpha channel/color — at Version 3

Reported by: DiverCTH <chunter952@…> Owned by: team
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: Core Version: latest
Keywords: PicLayer Alpha Channel Color Cc:

Description (last modified by Larry0ua)

It would be useful to mark an alpha channel / transparent color in images being referenced in PicLayer.

I'm going through some hand-drawn fire escape maps and have to layer scans on top of each other. It would be useful to have a color picker to identify a transparent color so that overlapping layers can be viewed simultaneously.

The current behavior is for each layer to be opaque to the one below it.

As a workaround until this is implemented, one can use ImageMagick :
convert file1.png -alpha set -channel RGBA -fill none -opaque black file2.png

this functionality is already in josm core - you can set opacity of the layer in layers list.
