Krita 5.3 and Krita 6.0 are out!https://krita.org/en/release-notes/krita-5-3-release-notes/5.3 vs 6.0There are no functional differences between Krita 5.3 and 6.0, Krita 5.3 exists because a few people are still on Qt5. However Krita 6.0 does provide initial wayland support.Changes:> Complete rewrite of the Text ToolText can now flow inside shapes or along pathsClear separation of paragraph vs Character propertiesBetter handling of fonts, alignment, and advanced typographyImproved touch support for text editingOther:>New Knife Tool>New Selection Toolbar>Comic Panel Editing Tool>Fill Tool improvements>Gap closing support (better for line art)And a few other performance related improvements
>>108443988>Complete rewrite of the Text Toolit's still pretty trash, but waaay better than the abomination we had before.
>>108443988Is there any reason to use this over CSP with Wine?
Kita?
>>108444258There's no reason to use anything other than csp on whatever platform you can run it on
>>108444258is_free.exe
>>108443988the tweaks to the selection tools/fill tool where enough for me to be using the prealpha version for a whole year, now finally out of alpha/beta hell
>>108444277Is there any reason at all to use CSP if you don't draw anime?
>>108443988ToT
>>108444515no
>>108444766Then why all the shilling of CSP for drawing?
>>108444775only poorfags that can't afford photoshop use it and krita
>>108444798I'm under the impression that Adobe doesn't give a fuck about use cases related to drawing in Photoshop, but people do it there anyway. Is that the case?
>>108443988>Initial Wayland support finally enables HDR display on LinuxFinally I can actually preview my work properly. I actually helped beta-test HDR support for 6.0 prealpha, but being a pre alpha, the rest of the program was buggy and unstable in ways in which it was not for the normal releases.
>>108444258I don't like using graphical applications via WINE desu.It's pretty good for games but not much else.
>>108443988Luv me Krita. Don't know why people trash on it so much, I like it a lot more for drawing than the pirated version of Photoshop 2020 I had. It's convoluted at first but not half as much as Gimp. Not sure why people here are insisting on CSP, do you really need to superimpose a 3D model when you draw? /beg/ behavior tbqhdesu
>>108444911CSP has a lot of cool tools and I would use their software if it came to linux.But in terms of free stuff (as in beer) Krita is probably the best there is.
is there a better FOSS alternative?>inb4 GIMPno
FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GODJUST COPY PHOTOSHOPYour text tool was fucking unusable trash like 5 years ago when you added it, and what is this piece of garbage UI that you decided to replace it with? How can you make this and think it's better in any conceivable dimension than pic related? Just open pic related, look at it, and then put it into your program. You don't even have to design or invent anything, just literally copy paste this exact thing and it will be a 700000% improvement over anything you lobotomized retards can come up with.
>>108445227There's either technical limitations to it, or, what i think is more likely. Fear of litigation by adobe if they copy their UI.
>>108445415Nobody in the history of software has ever been sued by adobe for having their program look too similar. Photopea is aping the fuck out of Photoshop's UI and nobody gives a shit.
>>108445518try explaining that to the GIMP devs for the love of god.They are extremely schizo about it
>>108445565The g*mp devs really do everything to make sure adobe doesn't sue them. They go so far as to make their program completely unusable. That's what I call admirable dedication.
>>108445980It's not unusable, I can deal with it, but especially the text tool is indeed a piece of utter trash.
Was eraser changed to be separate tool or is it still a toggle-able mode? The way Krita does it messes with my muscle memory too much.
>>108446303That's one of the best parts of Krita. Any tool that draws pixels can also erase pixels.
>>108446399CSP/Infinite Painter can do that too, what I want is an option on how to toggle that.
>>108446409Check your hotkey settings my dude. There's a bindable setting that, while not an overt separate tool, will swap your brush to a different preset instead of changing your current tool to erase mode. It's not 100% the same - I don't know if selecting a different brush will automatically take you out of the "eraser" preset or of it will turn the non-erasing brush into your new eraser preset, but it is worth considering and investigating its behavior.
>>108446464Yeah I tried that. What I don't like, very specifically and autistically as that sounds, is that going back from Eraser mode to regular brush you need to press the Eraser key again, to toggle said mode off.If they were separate tools, for example, 'B' for Brush and 'E' for Eraser, as separate keys they work the same in an absolute manner. Also being separate tools allows me to quickly change which is selected for each one.
>>108446491To elaborate a little further, in my CSP brush tool tab I also have sub-tabs with different brushes I use for different occasions. And when I press E, it changes that menu to show me a whole separate set of sub tabs with my erasers.
>>108446409>>108446504You can tag brushes and switch between tags/categories, I don't use them so I don't know if there's hotkeys for switching them.
>>108446491Yeah, unfortunately, Krita doesn't have what you want, so you'll have to change up your habits.
>>108443988>no update for the mobile/tablet """""beta""""" version YawnCall me never
>>108446720A shame, but thanks for the confirmation anon.
>>108444911I never looked too much into it as it doesn't concern me but color support is limited (which is important for high end printers and displays) and it isn't very optmized causing performance to degrade quickly with very large images. Tablet support has some limitations too, not because of Krita itself, but because of the Qt engine(something about response times). I just draw basic fanart, make memes or even use it for non-artistic professional graphic such as for presentations or even gui/widget graphics and game sprites and textures. For me its more than good enough.
>>108443988Usecase for drawing when AI exists?
>>108444807They do it there because the companies that hire them license out Adobe in unthinking lockstep. Some tards use procreate these days too but being stuck on ios is painful. That really just leaves CSP.
I'm not at my computer rn, how's the new text tool? Was the only thing keeping me on GIMP
>>108448249Having people outside of India engage with your work is the big one
>>108443988>>108444258The squirrel mascot is hot.
>>108448635better, but still bad compared to other software
>>108448249Not being an Indian slave addicted to slop from machines owned by Altmans and Musks.Good go... I mean, boy. Open your mouth wider so papa Sam can feed you more of his delicious shitslop.
>>108448249I use Krita to stitch together AI gens if eyes or hands comes out weird when upscaling
>>108448249AI is just another plugin in Krita. It attaches itself to Comfy API. Tried it, works fine.
>>108443988SQUEEEEEERALSEXOOOOOOOO
>>108443988time to updoot
>>108443988What do non-industry people actually draw and for what purpose? Unironically, I don't get it.
>>108452384>What do non-industry people actually drawFanart, their pets, their friends and family, landscapes, really anything that seems interesting.>For what purpose?For fun? Keeping your mind active instead of just browsing social media all day? What kind of question is this? Do you not have hobbies???
>>108452610>What kind of question is this? Do you not have hobbies???In my mind, a hobby isn't very interesting if you don't get to publish the results or if it's at least not useful to you or anyone else. I have a few software dev projects but it's all on Gitlab, and apparently some people even use some of my libs, but mostly not. I guess it can be used to pad the resume
>KritaText tool is shit, painfully laggy and slow>GimpWaste huge amounts of time to do the simplest tasks that even other free alternatives do in one click. Doesn't even have a circle tool. At this point this seems orchestrated. They all are constantly scraping the line of actually being usable but never ever cross the line for some reason.
I wish I could write my own AGPLv3 drawing program myself and mog all of these programs in UX/UI and performance.
>>108452665I find this a very limiting mindset. There's lots of things that are worth doing even if it doesn't have a use outside of itself. Kareoke isn't something I can put on a resume but there's joy in the act of singing. I enjoy the birds around my yard and I like to keep track of them, but that doesn't really have a purpose outside of the fact that I like doing it. People are not machines, there's more to life than just being 'useful'.
>>108452665that's interesting, none of my code is public, I like to have all the code for myself, but I just program for fun
>>108443988>>Comic Panel Editing Toolohhhhh
>>108444911been drawing with krita for almost 2 years and it's really nice and mostly easy to use. though I've never tried csp.>>108443988I updated from 5.2.9 to 5.3 and it became unusable due to performance regressions on arm windows lel. Maybe I should give 6.0 a try. For now I'm going back to 5.2.9 to draw my waifu naked, embarassed and sweating with saggy tits.>>108452665lol
>>108452875I mean agree, that's a better mindset and probably a more common one, but I find it difficult to get into doing something if I'm not going to have it seen by anyone else. I've wanted to get into some creative hobby for some time now to get a break from coding, but haven't done so yet, I'm not a creative person at all
>>108453277*I agree
>>108453277Have you tried music? Learning a instrument is cool and you can play for people to see
>>108453306>Have you tried music?No, I haven't tried anything at all
>>108448635>how's the new text toolIt works much more reliably, but the controls for modifying font settings are in a massive mess of random dropdown menus.
>>108444261Kurcina?
>>108453760I just tried it out. What in the actual fuck have they done.
>>108445227Agreed, the current tool is an abomination, but it's salvageable with some work
>>108447313>>108446491there is a plugin for that though, 10 seconds installYou press E, select any brush, and now every time you press E you go back to it. Very simple. Name is "separate brush and eraser". I'm on 5.3 and it's a bit edgy, but it's a beta so hoping for an update. Still works though
>>108444798>afford photoshopLol
>>108452665>a hobby isn't very interesting if you don't get to publish the resultsEven staggeringly shitty artists can dump their dogshit sketches on X or wherever and get plenty of support.
>>108444911for me it is about brush engine, never used 3d asset tool thingsnot exactly the fan of krita's approach of separate modes for separate types of brush>>108448210color management is dogshit on CSP, bearable on krita but if you absolutely need the combo of competent CMS + drawing there is no answer other than photoshop
