What I miss the most in krita is a simple contrast tool. Much more important than new features which let even a professional drawer like Aaron ask what to do with it in practical workflow. To be fair, krita is overall really good, especially considering that it is for free.
Krita just keeps getting better and better. I am an avid Photoshop user but I love Krita. It is simply an amazing tool. I am always looking forward to the next update. I definitely recommend Krita. Give it a try, it's free, so you have nothing to lose.
Most of the "Fill" features you discuss at the beginning are already in Clip Studio Paint. Krita Devs have targeted CSP as having the features it would most like to "adopt," so these are good steps in that direction. The other features are a tad obscure, but for certain types of painting, I can see how they could evolve. Does Krit let you temporarily switch to another tool by holding down its keyboard shortcut, as in CSP and Photoshop?
yes. here's an example of having a line tool always available. (and you're probably already familiar with eyedropper : Ctl+left click) configure krita canvas input settings tool invocation type: mouse button, input: v+left button, action: activate line tool I find this method for the freehand selection tool especially useful.
Krita also has a toggle feature for switching between two brushes. I was really disappointed in CSP when they didn't have that, since it was the most efficient part of my Krita workflow.
You basically have read the documentation and tried a lot and made this video for us so that we don't go through the same process. Thank you very much for your efforts and time. Really appreciate it
Btw about that hsv slider, if you need the colour of your object to match the hue slider you need to tick that colourize box below the sliders, it's not a bug its just how hsv/hsl sliders work, they work same way in photoshop. Idk much but iirc( i maybe wrong) the explanation is something along the line of 'color temperatures '
Great tutorial. You've made the video just right. I usually use the same brush as eraser because I want to preserve the texture even when erasing. I also use Transparency masks with normal blending mode and use black and white to show or hide the layer. You can also make a more detailed video on the perspective guides too. I think your audience will love it.
The color ramp slider shows the default HSV spectrum, starting with red and wrapping back around to red again. Sliding the hue is remapping the entire spectrum by shifting it. Jump to 6:24 and hover your mouse over the yellow-green that best represents your painted circle. Notice that as you shift the slider in the video, the hue under your mouse matches the circle. By the end, the spectrum starts with cyan and ends with cyan (replacing all reds with cyan and etc) I think this would be more intuitive if they placed a static spectrum under the sliding one, so we can better visualize what colors are being swapped to what.
Thanks very much for going over the tools. Very helpful. -very minor thing but, at least on the Krita youtube channel videos, they pronounce the program name Krita with an "it" or "sit" & not "Kreetah". Please keep up the great content.
The eraser! Yes! I used Krita for the first time a couple weeks back and had a heck of a time figuring out how to erase. What a time to be alive. Hahaha
I think I need to get into Krita even before I save up for a drawing 2 in 1 laptop. I've been using Gimp for years simply for Minecraft texture pack but most recently I'm getting into drawing on paper and would like to go digital at some point.
I'm genuinely shocked that these are both production-useful updates and features which Photoshop (and other softwares) don't have already. Color me impressed.
You're 100% right! Adobe used to create features for Photoshop and its other products. But these days, Adobe likes to steal features from other software developers. Facebook and Instagram do the same thing.
Oooh, this eraser option had my interest in Krita renewed. It was just horrible for me that you would have the same brush as an eraser every time you would do a quick switch
I am already lost with krita 5.0 Now I am so lost that finding me would be a miracle. I think a strip down version of krita should be created. 🤔. It s nice to have the full package for free and krita is amazing. But some people will never use all the functionalities. So having a "kitra illustration " - "krita painter"- "krita animator " smaller apps would be cool .
OMG perspective ellipse alone is worth the price of admission. Which is $0. But I'd still pay for it. Which I do by dropping a few bucks a month into their fund.
I use large canvases when I draw and find that Krita is so laggy that it draws the line after I take my pen away. Does anyone know why this is? Clip Studio doesn't have this issue and I would really like to move to Krita but it just seems to lack some features and optimisation I need for my workflow and I'm looking for solutions...
I would use Krita if it wasn't for the ui design, I can't, why is it so hard?? I feel they should really look at blender specifically the amazing improvement in the 2.8 update (personak experience) like Krita, I tried to use Blender but it wasn't comfortable, it made feel like absolute noob (even if had some experience)
