This is for painting with filters, right? Not for applying filters in general?

Does that mean that for every paint action that uses a temp layer, a temp
layer is constructed as big as the parent layer? That's an approach that I
first experimented with for ordinary brushes, but which I gave up on because 
it was too memory intensive and took too much time, in favour of the dab, 
which is a small temp layer as big as the minimal rect around the brush.

Now we're on the topic, would it be possible to remove the special code for 
the duplicate tool in the color strategies? Any ideas?

KisView::updateCanvas() ?
