Follow me on instagram / kateoleskaart Many people asked me about a feature that I use a lot in Krita - here is a tutorial. www.kateoleska.com kasia.oleska
Thank you! Geez! I was about to lose my mind 🤣. After following your instruction, I found I only needed 22 seconds of the 5 minute tutorial! hahaha! thanks again
That's what I was looking for when I found this video. I've been working in Photoshop for so long that I took this feature for granted, and now that I use Krita I miss it
You can do this! Click Window > New Window, then click on Window again and scroll down to New View. If you have your original open, it should be there. Select it and you will have your full canvas in another window. Hope this makes sense!
I tried using the view thing but nothing happened. And i did enable subwindows. Im a complete beginner, can someone please help? Whenever i open a new window it just opens a WHOLE new window with the entire setup and all
@Alípio Dot Art I don’t think it works. If I do Window>New Window, a new instance of Krita is launching. Not a new view of my work file. For the moment I use Overview window as second view but I lost the features of Overview on main monitor.
@Alípio Dot Art I will make a test. And have a look at memory usage in these conditions. Krita is not a light program and I hope this won’t have heavy consequence on memory usage.
@@lian54fr Window -> New Window, and then in that new window you need to use Window -> New View -> [document]. Then it will work. You might also want to use it together with View -> Detach Canvas, which would allow you to have dockers in different place than the dockers, I think.
@@tymondabrowski12 Thanks a lot. I had the solution from another user and it works. But as often with Krita, something simple in most graphic programs is not so simple in Krita.
Did not work.I followed instructions to the 't'. However, I have a Chromebook, so I dont know if its because I am working on chrome OS. So many things dont work right, especially when it comes to painting/drawing apps on Chrome OS. I didnt have such problems when I had a MS system. Does anyone else have this problem?
@@nouralrifaie194 ok, after you set krita like Kate explains, you canvas become a "sub window". so, you go to the window menu > new view to open other view of your canvas. If not open automatically, you can go again on the window menu and select tile or cascade. If you look on superior right side of krita you will see below the "close" menu of program, the " close" commands of your canvas, click on "restore something"( the middle icon) to show separate windows. actually this works for me, but your "problem" and of the Aesink could be another. Hope this helps, cheers!
Interesting issue I am having! I have a file open, and my settings are enabled, and I go to the windows drop down menu to access a new view. But the view drop down menu won't let itself be visible. The workspace drop down menu works though. I don't understand what's happening! Operating on a mac. Tried to reinstall and everything. If it helps to note...the windows drop down menu fills out from where it is placed on the screen to the far left of my screen. And the workspace menu fills out to the right. Please help! I wanna paint properly!
I literally just noticed the haters ;D Deleted the comments. I just dont get why people take 15 minutes to write a post about how I wasted 2 minutes of their time on the introduction! :)
@@KatarzynaOleskaArt fair criticism isn't "hating", are you 10? why explain the benefits of an extra window when all the people that searched for this video already know
Hi, I have a new version of Krita. I suspect you have tabs turned on. You need to go to Settings/configure krita/general and in the windows tab change Multiple Document Mode to subwindows. Then you need to make sure to pull the windows out of full screen (so that all the windows float) and it should work.
Let's say I'm drawing or painting a group scene. And I need to look at a photo to do a good job. Can I put the photo of people on screen to look at while I draw? Instead of a small version of what I am working on.
Hi, First of all, thanks for the info how to do it, it help a lot, but somehow my other img is not auto update itself at all, when i do modification on the main one. Any idea, why is this hapening? P.S.: Nevermind, found the problem :D I was lame and did open it on wrong way, so it is working now. Ty again. :)
thank god for this ...my navigation panes are completely different and preferences are up on the menu bar...couldnt for the life of me find this function till now
Yikes this is a really good tutorialof this! I tried my best to follow along but I'm only really a beginner. In my settings there is no configure krita or configure shortcuts like on yours. I have the free version and I have a mac. Wondering why it isn't showing up.
okay so up in the area where it says file edit view etc. there will be a tab that says krita click on that and then on preferences and you can follow the tutorial from there :D
Same here, perhaps it's a bug with later versions of Krita. I'm using 4.0.3 and the new view option does nothing for me. Maybe it's a Linux version issue, I'll have to test it on Win10.
Update; both versions 4.0.1 and .3 work as intended on Win10. I suspect the implementation of KDE or some configuration I've altered on Kubuntu 18.04 is causing my particular issue.
Is there any way to put a small window into the docker/the bar on the side with the colour wheel? I remember seeing something (might have been a different program) a while ago where you could have a little preview window and it'd fit into that sidebar thing.
