I think we should merge them somehow.

What we have at the moment (in update order):

image->rootLayer()->projection() - stores image without any borders and
decorations (using tiles)
view->prescaledProjection()::d->projectionBackend - stores unscaled original
(either tiles or QImage - config-dependent)

view->prescaledProjection()->prescaledQImage() - i'm not sure what stuff is
painted in this image. It stores scaled-down image, shifted according to
view state. As far as i know it doesn't have any selections, flakes(?)
inside - they are painted in canvas->drawDecorations().

<-- here we want to have another copy of it with prepainted decorations

After this we paint an outcome onto the window.


Lukas, is there any way to draw decorations on some transparent "layer"
(QImage) and then just paint this at the top of the base image?

Btw, i still don't fully understand what is "INFINITE" =) I haven't found
such a name in QPainterCanvas. It is the feature that i can paint outside
actual image, isn't it?
