This is perfect for integrating objects in perspective, and still keep the possibility to modify it in a flat view ! More, you can add filters, masks and transformations to this copy. You can create an instance of a layer, that will be updated in real time if the source layer is modified. This is probably one of my favorite feature. This means that you can add transformations and filters to your layers… and adjust them or delete them at any time, and going back to your source layer (just like smart objects in Photoshop).

In Krita, transformations and filters are rendered in a non-destructive way. Very convenient, especially if you are drawing in “canvas only” mode, which hide the toobars, panels and menus. Favorite Tools and Color Wheel with Right Clickĭon’t waste your time in the menus ! Your favorite tools are accessible via a simple right click on the canvas ! This is a great way to stay focus on the drawing. Wait ! There is one in Krita ! Color history is a great feature. What was the red value ? Impossible to use the eyedropper, you used 20% opacity brushes… If only you had a color history… So you paint red, you paint green, then paint yellow, and you want to paint red again, but wait…. Nice ! Wheel, Square, Luminance based… You have the choice ! Color History In Krita, you do have one, and if you don’t like it, you will be able to choose other different color wheel format. In Photoshop, we had to wait until the last CC 2014 to have it natively. It is very nice to have a color wheel in any graphics software, to allow faster color selection. It is just like advanced clipping mask ! The Inherit Alpha function in action. Layers are able to be visible only on the sum of all the other layers below them (in the same group). At last ! Multiple masks per Layer is very useful if we want to apply filter locally. Krita allows you to have several selection masks and opacity masks per layer. 18 Real-Time Multiple View per Documentĭo you ever feel limited by the one pixel mask solution offered by Photoshop ? And by the way Photoshop let you save selections (with alpha layers, all at the same place) ? Sure you can put your layer into a group and add mask to this group but… not very optimized, is it ?.16 Auto-Brush Orientation from Movement?.


That’s why recently Paris 8 Art University decided to decline their Photoshop Licenses and replaced it by Krita. Sure, it could be considered more than a Corel Painter (which I don’t really know, honestly) alternative than a Photoshop one, which is more dedicated to photos, but these functionalities could be beneficial for any kind of work. I don’t make a lot of digital painting myself (I made comic-strip colorization but it is not really the same thing as painting), but as a veteran Photoshop user since v5 (actual version is v15), I am pretty impressed by a lot of things in Krita. For two main reasons : it’s free, so everyone will be able to test it and see how nice it is, and it is very powerful.

I have the feeling that Krita could become one of the most respected digital painting software out there. Wanting to know the beast more deeply, I spend days and nights tweaking and testing all the functions of the software, while watching tutorials and reading articles about it. I have showed what I found to my digital painter friend Victor and he became as excited as me on these tools. In less than 5 minutes, some things that it has to offer just blew my mind.

I was reading an article about Krita, a free software for making digital painting, on my friend Yann Isabel‘s Graphyz’Art website, and I decided to take a closer look to this project.

Krita is now v3.0, and get a lot of extra features that could have been showcased here, like performance optimization for very large brushes and canvas, traditional animation module, animated brushes, new blending mods dedicated to painting… Also, a lot of improvements on stability, performance, hardware compatibility and UI have been made, which is a very good thing!
