Hello to everyone,
I finally managed to post the third phase of the project.
This publication has undergone many delays due mainly to two transfers to Italy and various business reasons that did not allow me to devote myself fully to the project.
Now let’s talk about serious things! 😛
In this third phase have been resolved many annoying bugs and improved features are already implemented , I have also added other very interesting features.
The main new features are: Preview of operations applied to images and new operations on the colors of the images.
At the end of pages you can find the full ChangeLog.
The next phase will have as main objective to be able to import and export files with the layers of images (ora, xcf, …) and to improve the integration of the layers within Blender.
The beginning of the development of the fourth phase, will begin to achieving the €2,000 required.
Here’s a video demo of the third phase:
Please all users to test as much as possible these new features in order to further improve this project.
I also want to thank everyone for the donations, thanks!! 😀
ChangeLog Phase 3:
1. FIX: Allocation of a default layer’s name creation missed.
2. FIX: In the Space Image if you pass to paint mode without an image, Blender Crash.
3. FIX: In the space Image produced by a render or by the Composite if you pass to Paint mode, Blender Crash.
4. FIX: BUG danxsy: Crash when you add a layer meanwhile you carry out the unwrap.
5. FIX: Reload and Replace did not work properly.
6. FIX: Open as Layer did not visualize the layer with the image.
7. FIX: Problem about ImBuf Layers initialization has been solved.
8. FIX: Size of a rotated image are properly calculated now.
9. FIX: Following Blend Mode problems solved: Color Dodge, Color Burn, Vivid Light e Hard Mix.

Ciao a tutti,
finalmente dopo un po’ di tempo sono riuscito a pubblicare la terza fase del progetto.
Questa pubblicazione ha subìto molti rallentamenti dovuti principalmente a due trasferimenti per l’Italia
e a vari motivi lavorativi che non mi hanno permesso di dedicarmi completamente al progetto.
Ora parliamo di cose serie!! 😛
In questa terza fase sono stati risolti molti bugs fastidiosi, sono stati apportati miglioramenti
alle funzionalià già implementate ed aggiunte nuove features molto interessanti.
Le nuove features principali, sono: Preview delle operazioni applicate alle immagini
e nuove operazioni sui colori delle immagini.
A fine pagine potete trovare il ChangeLog completo.
La successiva fase avrà l’obiettivo principale di poter importare ed esportare file di immagini con dei layers (ora, xcf, …)
e di migliorare l’integrazione dei layers all’interno di Blender.
L’inizio dello sviluppo della quarta fase inizierà al raggiungimento dei 2000€ previsti.
Ecco un video esplicativo della terza fase:
Prego tutti gli utenti di testare il più possibile queste nuove features in modo da migliorare ulteriormente questo progetto.
Inoltre voglio ringraziare tutti per le donazioni effettuate. Grazie
ChangeLog Phase 3:
1. FIX: Mancata assegnazione del nome alla creazione di un layer di default.
2. FIX: Nello Space Image se passo nella modalità paint senza un’immagine, Blender crash.
3. FIX: Nello Space Image prodotto da un render o dal Composite se si passa nella modalità paint, Blender crash.
4. FIX: BUG danxsy: Crash quando aggiungo un layer mentre eseguo l’unwrap.
5. FIX: Reload e Replace Image non funzionavano correttamente.
6. FIX: Open as Layer non visualizzava il layer con l’immagine.
7. FIX: Risolto problemi di inizializzazione dell’ImBuf dei layer.
8. FIX: Le dimensioni di un’immagine ruotata ora vengono calcolate correttamente.
9. FIX: Risolti problemi con i seguenti Blend Mode: Color Dodge, Color Burn, Vivid Light e Hard Mix.
10. FIX: Ora blender non crash quando si richiama l’Undo.
11. FIX: Nel caso in cui si apre un immagine da un file, i layer se resi tutti invisibili venivano cancellati.
12. FIX: Ora i layer di un’immagine salvati all’interno di un file .blend vengono letti correttamente.
13. FIX: Se si apre un file con all’interno un’immagine e i propri layer, l’immagine viene visualizzato con un ColorSpace errato.
14. FIX: All’apertura di un file con all’interno un’immagine con i propri layer si ha il crash di Blender, perchè non veniva salvato correttamente il ColorSpace dei layer.
15. FIX: Se ho un’immagine con dei layer e passo dall’Image Editor al 3D View, Blender crash.
16. FIX: Risolto il problema che si presentava quando si aveva un’immagine trasparente. Il blend mode veniva calcolato solo dove si sovrapponevano i colori, non visualizzando le parti dove la base era trasparente.
17. FIX: Se gli offset superavano le dimensioni dell’immagine, la memoria non veniva deallocata.
18. FIX: Ora se il wrap è disattivato per i valori negativi l’immagine non si ripete.

Hello to all! 🙂
Finally, after a few months from the end of the first phase, I have completed the second phase.
There have been improvements on previously implemented features and I have implemented new features related to processing operations in an image.
The bulk of the work has been done trying to integrate layers in Blender, and this operation will continue in the third phase.
All modifications and improvements made in this phase are described below.
The third phase will start when you reach the 1200€.
In the meantime please all users to test the patch, so that we can improve what already done and eliminate as many bugs as possible.
Thank you all for your donations! Thanks 😉
Layers v0.2 beta6 new features and fixed bug for Phase 2. Completed: 28\9\2012:
1. FIX: If there is only one layer and you try to delete it, Blender crashes.
2. FIX: You create a layer only if it is an image of a file or if it is a generated image. In this way you avoid several crashes.
3. FIX: Fixed a display issue of the border around the image.
4. FIX: When you render a scene, Blender does not lock.
5. FIX: If it is invisible Baselayer and remove layers invisible, Blender crashes.
6. FIX: Quando applicavo Merge All con foto in un layer si verificava un crash.
7. UPD: When does the “Merge All” and is also deleted the “Background”, the last layer is renamed “Background”.
8. UPD: In the “Merge All” when you delete the “Background”, the “default_color” is set in white, the property “Background” in “IMA_LAYER_BG_WHITE”.
9. UPD: Updated “startup.blend” with the properties of the dashed border to the image.
10. UPD: In the panel Image Layers when you create a layer is created with the default settings.
11. UPD: Modified functions “BKE_image_get_ibuf” and “BKE_image_acquire_ibuf” in order to allow
the integration of layers in Blender.
12. UPD: Modified “IMB_imbuf_types.h” in “DNA_imbuf_types.h”, so you can save the ImBuf within files “.Blend”.
13. UPD: Modified “image_get_ibuf” so you can return a layer or merge layers. Useful for integration.
14. UPD: Updated Blending layers but the problem of the black border around the stroke has not been resolved.
15. UPD: Changed the way you view an image in the “View” and for Render. Now uses the “glaDrawPixelsTexScaled”.
16. UPD: In the structure “Image” is connected to ibufs the resulting image of the union of all layers.
17. ADD: Added menu “Transform”.
18. ADD: Added menu “Scale”.
19. ADD: Added “Open Image” in the header of the Space Image.
20. ADD: Ability to save layers and images in the file. “Blend”.
21. ADD: Now you can choose the layer to be used within the node “Image”.
22. ADD: Now it is possible to save an image composed of several layers.

Hello everyone,
I am sorry if I do not hear often, but it is a period replete with examinations at the university and other small things, but the work sull’image layer continues unabated! 😉
Moreover, the slowdown is due to the integration of layers in Blender and there is still some work to do.
This work serves for the subsequent phase in which some features will be implemented only possible if it is done this work well.
The current state of the second stage is:
1) Operations for manipulating layers.
Menu Layer
|-> Transform
* |-> Flip Horizontally
* |-> Flip Vertically
* |-> ——————
* |-> Rotate 90° clockwise
* |-> Rotate 90° counter-clockwise
* |-> Rotate 180°
* |-> Arbitrary Rotation
* |-> ——————
* |-> Offset
|-> Scale
*** |-> Layer Boundary Size
*** |-> Layer to Image Size
*** |-> Scale Layer
** 2) Begin integration layer with Blender.
* 3) Saving an image in a single layer (Save, Save As ..).
Legend:
* : Released
** : WIP
*** : Test
The patch of the present state without the features in the “Test” was published on github.
See you soon

Hello everyone!
Continue the integration of Layers in Blender.
After much work, I am finally able to understand the structure of the nodes and change the node for the insertion of images so that he could read the layers.
The result of all this work is:
See you soon with new features;-)

I want to apologize for the delay which is accumulating!
The integration of image layer inside blender, it is more complicated than expected.
To help you understand: when I render a scene, blender crash! This is due to the fact that not all functions manage the layers …
See you soon;-)
P. S.: A little preview …

not draw.
15. ADD: When you invoke the Color Sample in paint mode, you see a box at the bottom left with
the selected color.
16. ADD: Added the ability to clear a layer, even if the layer is loaded a photo.
17. ADD: The Color Picker in the Image Editor, in Vertex Paint and Texture Paint change to
reflect your choices nell’User Preferences.
