Idea for improved Masking Tool: Select which layers to cut

We had a discussion about this already. @PlumCrazy010 wrote the following in that relation.

I’m pretty sure the scalable outline layers are all rendered to an internal bitmap before they are wrapped onto the car. This is likely a normal 32-bit RGBA bitmap with color and transparency information. If they wanted to allow mix-and-match textures, they would need another parallel bitmap to serve as the texture lookup table for each individual pixel in the bitmap. By making the setting global, they do not need to add a lookup table bitmap, since the texture is a constant. Doing it this way makes it quite a bit less work.

That’s the best explaination for why we don’t already have that feature.

One problem I see with implementing this feature now besides the extra work and bigger save size is that it could ruin all existing liveries. I don’t want to rework all of my 500+ liveries.

But the idea itself is good of course.
