Imaging how great a png-based mask import would be!

I often use simple black and white dungeon-layouts like this: If I wish to use light and sight effects, I have to make every single line by my own hands. This takes a ton of time and isnt really precise (blue lines). But it is easy possible to get the contour of such a map and generate a png out of this contour which u can easily lay above ur map (yellow lines). This would work on colored maps too! At the moment roll20 cant use such a png to generate the walls automatically. :-/ But this wonderful feature would be really easy to use and can safe you tons of time! Give me your upvote! Support me for an improved usability of the lighning-feature. :-) 

This has been posted a few times, I think this is a +10 idea but it keeps slipping off the front page of the forums. EDIT: Like this one. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8429559/dynamic-lighting-image-mask-import" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8429559/dynamic-lighting-image-mask-import</a>

@Wookiee thx for ur Link! All people support Jamie H.s Post too!&nbsp;

We need more supporters! It would be amazing if you help us reaching +10. :-)

As per the dynamic lighting tips page, keeping the DL geometry as simple as possible is necessary to reduce the calculations required - I fear letting people import a bitmap mask, and calculating per-pixel dynamic lighting, would result in older PCs and laptops committing suicide. Maybe vector art would have a chance?

I dont know if a vector art would solve this problem. People with old hardware could use simple geometries. Sooner or later the average hardware power will increase and more and more user could take a profit from this function. :-)
