I have a few commercial token frame collections that came with a mask layer. I could use this layer in Photoshop (for instance) to trim the artwork so that it does not appear outside the frame. I've attached an example of the mask(on left) and a corresponding token frame(on right). The token artwork covered by the white in the mask stays. The black is trimmed off.
When using these frames in the Laminator, it doesn't pick up what should be trimmed, especially if it is a detailed shape, like in the sample I've shown. The outer edge is just a circle.
It would be nice if we could specify the shape of the mask that Laminator is using. I can see it bounds the preview to a circle currently. Maybe if we could load an image to be used to define that bounding? Or if there was a button to set the mask to everything that is a transparent pixel from the outer edges of the token frame art image and working inwards OR grabbing the value of the pixel in the upper left & then getting all the pixels that match that one by using a "floodfill" operation (thinking of how you might do it programmatically - in ImageMagick terms).
(EDIT: I do see how "Crop to Canvas" works and does help trimming off the corners of a square piece of art. That's a great feature. What I'm asking to have the ability to define what shape the canvas could be by use of a black and white mask).
