7. View of a Layer > to have the possibility to have two type views: current and a specific layer (set this layer as a view). The enhancements on View are very useful to many areas, including the painting. When you are working with multi layers, many times, certain layers are key of a process, imagines for example: when you are working in Color or Chroma layer to balance the values of grays... as tonal composition. Would be interesting to have two different views... a view to Chroma layer and another of layer below with the work.

   Is useful to have a View of a Layer? So, have the possibility of the two type views: current and a specific layer (set this layer as a view).
    I am imagining the usage... it seems cute the idea. For example, inking task view independently of the colorizing task:
     \_Inking Layer > where you drawing with ink tool, e.g. > View Inking
     \_Colorizing Layer > where you paint the scene. > View Colorize
    Visible View > View of Inking Layer + Colorizing Layer.
    In this way I have the possibility to see separately each layer of my process and have the focus in any kind of my work.
    You can imagine, for instance, a Layer with Chroma to control the tonal composition... 
    is better to see what you is painting also in this layer as mask or correction... and not only to see the final result in a view of 'Visible View' (current).
    Perhaps, is useful to have the possibility to name the views, or on the status bar... see which layer is being used to each view.

8. Add on dialog lists with arrows to scrolling: the behavior of current cursor is very imprecise and difficult to use when the list is great. Is possible to use the wheel of the mice, and works fine. But with graphical tablets normally we use the stylus to select the cursor... and in these cases is very hard scrolling in fine tune. The unique way that I have found is to select an asset and after with the keyboard arrows to do scrolling.

10. 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).
