           Summary: Add a non-permanent template superimpose option
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.4
          Platform: Slackware Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mkosmul at users.sourceforge.net

OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Slackware Packages

Template superimpose is a nice filter, but it permanently changes the image. If
I want both the original and the modified version, I need two separate files.

It would be nice to be able to overlay a template or arbitrary graphics over an
image, but only for displaying in the image editor/slide show. The merged file
would not be stored on disk, instead only metadata saying "when displaying
image A, superimpose image B" would be stored. A typical use would be the
ability to circle some areas of the image to highlight some important but small
or otherwise non-obvious element. In this scenario, one wants the circle
(actually, this would normally be just a line manually doodled with the mouse
and not a real circle) to be overlaid on the image but not saved in the image
file, and to be able to quickly toggle the displaying of the superimposed
image. For such functionality, a very basic drawing interface would be great
(just the ability to select a few brush sizes and brush color and to draw
simple lines with the mouse would be enough).
