Others from Mailing List, Bugzilla and threads

1. Paint Dynamic and Tool Preset Preview | Andrew Pullins | https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=767348 Bugzilla Request
2. Add or enable the option of the 'Show as Grid' on the Dialog (list) of the Paint Dynamics and Tool Presets.
3. GIMP Workspaces | Americo Gobbo
4. To have the Alignment feature on Paintbrush and Pencil > to make texture on-the-fly directly of the stain brushes | Gustavo Deveze Video Deveze
5. Sliders of Dialogues and Wheel mouse: work with the same behaviour and sensibility of the Cursor+Left-Button ranges [Bug?]
   1. ↑ Stronger increase and decrease
   2. ←→ Fine tune
6. Digital Painting Colour Wheel Wikipedia | Americo
   1. Standard digital Red/Green/Blue
   2. Traditional artist's Red/Yellow/Blue RYB color model
   3. Red-Green and Blue-Yellow opponent pairs
7. View a per-Layer > add another possibility of type view: the current view type is always to 'visible, my proposal is to add a specific per-layer ('set this layer as a view'). When you are working with multi layers, many times, certain layers are key of a process, some example could be:
   1. Tonal composition, see the painting/photo in gray tone. Normally, is necessary time in time verify how is the balance of the tonal composition... with two views of different layers we'll have at same time these views. [see a video]
   2. Building swatches palettes directly on canvas layer. Many artists, photographers and painters, use the palette painted directly on canvas. If we have the possibility of different view layers... we can have the palette in the same .xcf archive and use them.
   3. View per-layer is also a good scratchpad to add refs and pieces of own work to use in different ways and circumstances during the work session.
   4. In the two last cases, this approach is good mainly to maintains all refs and swatches colors in same archive.
   5. On MyPaint we have a scratchpad where has the function as palette of swatches and brushes, because on MyPaint is possible reuse the brush-preset/color picking directly with stylus or mouse on the canvas or in this scratchpad with the key 'w' pressed.

1. Add on dialog lists with arrows to scrolling: the behavior of current cursor is very imprecise and difficult to use with the stylus tablet, mainly, when the list is great. The unique way that I have found, with stylus in hand, is to select/click an asset of the list and use the keyboard arrows to do scrolling. With the wheel of the mice works fine.
2. Action Shortcuts to the Modes on Paint tools (on Krita [1]).
3. Templates to Digital Painting
   1. Preparing templates ready-to-use to some painting techniques, e.g, watercolors.

     Basic Painting
     \_Work transparent layer, and so it has an alpha channel.
     \_Background layer + alpha channel (texture or color).
   
    Basic Watercolor
     \_Bright mask (grayish ~60% opacity → HSV Noise + Desaturated + Pick. Blends indicated are Overlay and Burn).
     \_Work transparent layer, and so it has an alpha channel (if implemented blends on transparent layers, possible to use all blend modes on brushes). Blend indicated could be Multiply, Darken Only.
     \_Background layer + alpha channel (texture or color).
