Hi Silvio,

I disagree here with you. This actual behavior speedup a lot my workflow 
here and usage with Krita.

I did this brushkit (link above) with taking advantage of it ; check the 
HSY color airbrush, and dodge explosion brush ; the result is I can 
build my preset and be sure about the result I will got after select 
them to paint.

But I also understand your point of view even if I don't use it this 
way. Anticipating multiple usage are the way of a good software ; and I 
don't want to impose a way to do.
So, I would suggest to add a icon acting as a checkbox in the top tool 
bar to 'lock' the opacity and blending mode. ( 
http://www.new-hampshire-locksmith.com/lock_icon2.gif ) . If user 'lock' 
the preset won't load global opacity and keep the active blending mode.
A design like this can make happy all the way to use it , imo. Say me 
what you think about it.
Best regards,

-David
