What should this feature add?

As part of my workflow, I find I often need to save out an image, bring it in to photoshop or GIMP to do some very basic things, like cropping or selection/move/resize of some visual elements. Invoke is already a powerful tool with some basic functionality for painting and masking, inpainting and outpainting. But cropping and selection/manipulation is missing. It doesn't need to be deep or full featured. Just some really simple select/cut/copy/paste/resize/rotate.

Alternatives

The current workflow involves saving the canvas out, opening locally in your photo editor of choice, doing the manipulations, uploading back into invoke, and then adding as a raster layer. Even with this proposed added functionality it still may be required to do this process for more complex edits, but for simple things I think it would be valuable.

You can freely move, resize, rotate and edit layers in Canvas. I think everything you have described is currently doable, though we don't support a selection tool for technical reasons.

Layers, yes, but not all features will be on their own layers, and the lack of a selection tool prevents putting things on their own layer.

Duplicate a layer and erase the parts of it you don't want. You can use the bbox tool to crop a layer to a rect. I understand this isn't exactly the same as selection as a process, but you can get the same outcomes.

Thanks, will try that next time.
