Clipping Masks: Alpha inheritance, Alpha Lock & Groups in Krita

Understanding how to use the inherit alpha and lock alpha features in Krita was difficult to me, but is actually quite easy. That's why I decided to make this video.
These options to create masks are present in most painting softwares with some tweaks and differences on each one. But I have noticed that a lot of people have difficulty understanding it in Krita. I hope this video is usefull to you.
The way the layers system in Krita works is quite powerful. You can create masks that are 'clipped' not only to one layer but the layers you want. The Inherit alpha and lock alpha features allow us to use a faster workflow to colouring, shadding and lighting.

This is insane how actually good you delivered all this information. Thank you and wish you all best.

[@4Bucket2U]

im so happy someone was able to describe alpha as the transparency and actually make me understand clipping masks, i really appreciate it

[@Cruddy129]

ive been looking through various layer tutorials, and this is by far the best one Its straightforward, to the point and you dont spend 10 minutes talking about a specific thing, you show it whilst you explain it Honestly, you are a rarity in these kind of tutorials that actually helps

[@MONALICIA.]

All those times of me keeping my colors from going over the lines like a kindergarten are over! really easy to understand and I really like the visual examples, Thank you.

[@Chris-wx4tn]

This was by far the best tutorial I've seen. You explained everything plainly and succinctly. Most tutorials seem like they're just babbling to people who already understand the software
