Idea: optional hard layer over the preview

[ETCore7]

It would be nice to be able to select a layer or layer group that is then put over the preview in Live mode. For example, think about a hard rendering of a horse with a transparent background. The AI then can generate the background while the horse itself is not affected at all. And when something in the generated background looks perfect it could be made a new layer, the detail cut out, and added to the overlay group. In this way users can start with a generated image and refine by preserving areas.

The nature of AI generation is that everything in an image changes when even a detail is altered, sometimes drastically. With hard overlays good details can be preserved from destruction since the AI generated image is the background of the end result, rather than the end result itself. I am aware of regions, but that does not work for me. Selecting a region layer or even make a selection draws a grid over the rest of the image, which messes up the preview, and the end result is always different from what is generated when going back to full view / deselect all. Of course it's possible to generate a background, collapse it to a layer, and move the layer below layers with preserved details to see what it looks like, but that is not flexible. A hard overlay over the preview would be true WYSIWYG.

Again thank you for this amazing tool.
