Patternshop Neo

a simplified version of Patternshop

A simpler version of https://woodring.itch.io/patternshop inspired by https://missooni.itch.io/patternshop-cinnamon.

The main differences between this and the original:

• Decker drawing tools are enabled from the get go and are the way to draw on it
• The Patternshop layer(s) are completely contained in Patternshop contraption (makes it easy to reuse in Decker projects)
• Doesn't have all the other bells and whistles - it's just drawing with Decker + more layers. For more options, see Patternshop or Patternshop-Cinnamon

Usage:

• To draw, use the toolbars on the sides, or select them under the Decker menu, under the Tool pull-down menu
• For more options, see Styles when in drawing mode
• To composite, drawing mode must be turned OFF and Interact mode turned ON. i.e., when switching layers (left and right arrow keys) the layers will not show up if it's still in drawing mode.
• To switch to Interact mode (composite/combine the layers), use the pointer finger (the upper left item in the left toolbar) or under the Decker menu, Tool->Interact
• To add a new layer, copy an existing card: under the Decker menu, Card->Copy Card then Edit->Paste
• To save the final image, under the Decker menu, do File->Export Image
• To save all the layers, save the deck: under the Decker menu, File->Save As
• To reorder layers, reorder the cards: under the Decker menu, File->Cards and drag them into the new order
• The first card is the first layer, and every other layer is below it
• It only composites up to the current layer, so it's always in "underdraw mode"
• Use the left and right arrow keys to flip between cards (layers) or use the Decker menu, Card->Go to Next or Card->Go to Previous

Thanks to Missooni for giving me inspiration to update Patternshop to something much simpler.
