Painting one Image from another Image with paint brush

Hi Folks,

I want to create a paint brush , which instead of using a single color or color pattern , uses pixels from another image. Is there a way to do it efficiently?...

In my current setting , I am doing painting on a QImage with paint brush. But I also want a brush which can recover the original image if the region under brush is painted with some color. In short I want an unpaint brush.

thanks and regards

You need two images. One is the original image which you do not touch, just use for compositing. The other image starts with being fully transparent. There you use QPainter::drawImage() to paint parts of some other (third? first?) image over it. Erasing your actions is quite easy because you just draw with a Clear compositing mode on it again. Finally you compose the output image by using the "Painter's Algorithm" -- first draw the original image and then draw the other image over it.
