Krita Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Paint.net

  Check out Krita[0]. It's what I used after leaving Windows - a little different, maybe 25% more complicated, but has everything you need. If you just want a MS Paint replacement, KolourPaint[1] is the way to go [0] https://krita.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?

  The entire KDE project, which not only includes the Plasma Shell but also Projects like Krita [0] and Kdenlive [1] and some other great applications that work cross platform. [0] https://krita.org/en/ [1] https://kdenlive.org/de/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Gimp 2.99.18 Released: The Last Development Preview Before 3.0

  I’ve been using Krita for a year or so now. At first I found the UI very confusing, but after learning the top bar is just as important as the side bar it really works. YouTube videos of pros using it will blow your mind. It’s really powerful. https://krita.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• A Non-Coders Guide to Open Source Contributions

  Through the years I've learned how to use some Open Source design tools like Inkscape, GIMP and Krita. While I'm not an expert on this area, I've used these tools to create graphics for some of my personal projects, and recently the logo of Let's Talk! Open Source, that I created using Inkscape. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• X390 yoga Linux compatibility

  Looks like it'll work, mint is Ubuntu/Debian based and I know there are drawing pads out there that work well with Mint also. If you like drawing, I'd suggest checking out Krita. Source: 5 months ago

• AI'd my loadouts

  I dunno what they used, but Krita with Krita AI is pretty easy to set up and use. Source: 5 months ago

• Paint on Windows is getting layers and transparency support

  The current Paint.NET is really good and obviously has much more features compared to since the version from 2009. But it's not FOSS which can be a deal breaker for some. If FOSS then Pinta [0] is the best option imo. GIMP is not bad either but feels very janky and all over the place sometimes (lacking some elementary features while overblown in other departments) Krita [1] is the other one I'd recommend though... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Do you think that it's real? I don't trust it just even by the fact it costs 2€...

  It's real, but I recommend Krita from the playstore if you want a full mobile drawing/gimp experience. https://i.imgur.com/k7QfUDA.png it's more packed with stuff, (except the basic ai tools gimp has), works by using KDE for Android, so it feels nice to use with out the Virtual Machine layer the Android GIMP app uses, also works with s-pen and supports bundles from the community to enhance the experience even...

• LETS GOO! You guys are back, happy to be here again. New taunts, give me ideas! (No particular order)

  I use Krita for drawing, I have an assets file for it, each frame is one image I put alphabetically in a folder and Krita uses tabs for each image so you can see comparisons easier and an animated gif maker puts it together where you can choose timings and stuff. Source: 10 months ago

• The revolution is here brothers

  Gimp is an awesome free photostop alternative program! So is krita! (You can definitely tell I dabble in this stuff XD). Source: 10 months ago

• SD training

  As far as resources, not really. You'd need to do this in an image editor. Assuming you're not going to pay for photoshop, you can use photopea (with ads on the side) or the free and open source krita or gimp. All three can do the job. My personal opinion is to try photopea first, as there's nothing to install and it has the most tutorials. Since it's a webapp, there's an extension that lets you have photopea...

• Luna Nights

  Nice, great to hear that you're already on the way. The drawing program I use is Clip Studio Paint. It is now at $50, but I'd recommend getting it only when it's on sale (I got it for $30), so a good free alternative would be Krita, as I myself have made the jump from Krita to CSP.

• Chainsaw man collab (this is how you make a collab Netmarble)

  I use Photoshop since I'm more used to it, but imo if you want to do concepts like these Krita or Gimp are 100% free and should get the job done just as fine ^^. Source: 12 months ago

• Unus Solum: the World of Airfortress

  Thanks! I can give you a overview of the process. So my friend Ravajava sketched the outline of the continents and islands as well as cities in Clip Paint Studio. I then traced over them using Inkscape and looked to other maps for aesthetic inspiration. Specifically this masterpiece: https://imgur.com/frNyH Some of the flags were created by other people in our Air Fortress group (Enshaw, Shirudo, TDI) while most... Source: 12 months ago

  Inkscape is the only one I know of, although I think Krita has some vector tools built in. Source: about 1 year ago
