I'm not familar with internals of krita, so I don't know how
merging of
different layers is handled. My first guess from your
explanations is that
upon rendering (and saving to non native formats) the pixels
are converted
into the "projection color space" and the merging
takes place in that
colorspace?
Another possibility would be that composition is done in a
colorspace that
is a superset of all layer colorspaces, and converted down
to the image
colorspace afterwards.
Well, logically this feature belongs into the image dialog,
however it needs
some more thinking since many users will probably don't
know/have forgotten
that krita supports layers with different types.

Maybe with some additional description like "final
colorspace" or
"projection colorspace", or something along these
lines might make this a
bit more clear to users that forget about the layer issues
etc.
I was only editing a single layer, in that case the
projection colorspace
could be fixed to the layer colorspace.

Hmm, might be a better solution, since then the user has to
choose which
colorspace he wants to change. Maybe a radio button to
select between
"convert all layers" and "final image
colorspace" would be enough?
Btw. which rendering intents are used for the conversion
into the image
color space?

Yes, that's right.

We've thought about that, too, but there are problems with
that approach,
especially since a colorspace that's a superset of all
colorspaces in Krita
would be something like 32-bit XYZ or L*a*b -- and that
would make krita eat
a lot more memory than it does now. And if it's to be a
superset of the
colorspaces currently in the image, then we need to have a
kind of sliding
scale of capabilities.

Exaclty. It's not a common feature
