My only gripe with krita is the ui is ugly as shit.
>>7674630Krita best ever. "UI is ugly" I don't get that retarded shit, Krita UI is the same as all the other graphic software out there. And everything in krita is fully customizable, wich makes it a superior tool above the rest.The only one thing that Krita lacks is a more advanced text editor.
>>7674630i just can't bring myself to like krita, it feels off and i can't explain why
For casuals? CSP. Why? You don't have to spend time configuring it to not be retarded. Krita is the equivalent of linux in the art softwares. For people who rather spend time tinkering and configuring the framework rather than actually use it

>>7674630clip studio is simplified, cozier and your immediatly introduced to the active community the open its open. Everything seems convenient, it has a eraser brush that gets all the layers, Krita probably has it but its buried under the overwhelming tinkers.
>>7674733the moment you open its software omfg. im being harrassed
just fucking draw
>>7674716No, I DO know and I've been considering it for a few months now because of shit like Windows onedrive, but so far it's not worth the switch. Would still require too much tinkering and asking of questions of a community that is elitist. It's not that I can't, it's a, why the fuck would I? Not enough reason to yet.
>>7674630Get krita setup and familiarize yourself with hot keys and the pop up palette. No other program comes close in terms of speed and ease of use. Plus the amount of free brushpacks that exist is crazy. Krita youtube channel will blow your mind at all the potential

>>7674630Doesn't CSP paywall animation features hard, that's something Krita has going for it.It's 2D, it's like 2D game engines, all this shit is basically the same, I'm not going to be impressed by a 2D program one way or the other. 3D, this shit starts to matter, 2D who cares use whatever you feel like man.
>>7674630Krita is just too good to be true, but it is.
I just use ibisPaint X as a casual, i ain’t paying for shit, I use it on my phone but it’s available on pretty much every device.
>>7674696krita just had an update last month
>>7675002it doesn't matter in the first place if the program runs and has all the features you need, terminal updoting is an illness.
>>7674630
>>7674849Ive never heard of that and it looks like something Jeets would use to draw shitty anime. The krita pop up palette is a thing of beauty and once you're good with it you will be refuse to use anything else. But im guessing your hand eye coordination and dexterity is too low to use 5 + hotkeys

>>7675030Phishing malware. Stay away from Adobe products, and don't promote that in this board please.

>>7675038And you, if you don't know how to download pirated software or you can't because Trump is stepping on your balls, don't comment.
>>7675041You can download Krita anytime anywhere. Why "download" and install Adobe phishing malware in your own device? Only retards would do that to themselves. Please don't promote malware in this board, Thank you.
>>7674738people need to have their program wars like they do with videogame consoles. Why you need loyalty to any program is ridiculous, just pick one you're comfortable with and make art.
>>7675053I don't see any war. Clip Studio Paint, Krita and SAI are perfectly fine options loved by all of the artist community.There's only one unacceptable and dangerous lurking TRASH disguised as "art software", and that's all of the Phishing Malware ADOBE products out there. That shit is totally out of the question. It's important to raise awareness on that harmful shit threatening the art community.
>>7675063SAI is pirate, asshole
>>7675077So? As long it's not some Phishing Malware piece of shit virus, SAI is okay. Same as ClipStudio and Krita. All fine and beautiful tools.Adobe though.. that's a whole different story, stay away from that malware criminal organization.
>>7675046Why do I have to download inferior software just because it's free, when I have completely pirated premium software like Adobe and SAI???This malware thing is a fairy tale for children and mentally retarded gay people like you, so screw you.

>>7675094> Look at me, now!!!!!!
>>7674630Photoshop or SAI.
>>7675083You have to be very retarded to get malware, for example. CSP had a pirated version with malware and antivirus and pages like virus total detected it, in addition the sites and forums where pirated software is uploaded have active communities, which further reduces the risk of malware, because they quickly raise the alert when some idiot tries to upload malware, it happened a few years ago with CSP when they removed the permanent license they uploaded a later version with malware and the community quickly banned it.
>>7675034concession accepted
>>7674630residental schizo is going to recommend krita.do the opposite and get CSP. There's also a shitton of brushes and resources for CSP.
>>7674630I've only used krita so i can't really give a fair comparison, but i can vouch for it. Works well and is honestly not that bad to use.

I startes drawing with CSP so its what I prefer. Krita has a bit more pen lag to it than CSP but that's probably me fucking up settings somewhere on both.
I really don't understand how there is a big cluster of people saying Krita is time consuming to configure.>Have a problem with Krita.>Search google how to do thing with Krita.>Follow the steps and solve.I can understand people being stupid enough to get viruses when pirating photoshop, but solving Krita issues takes like 2 minutes tops, completely brain damaged if you can't configure Krita fast.I use pirated Photoshop because Lane Brown brushes, but if krita had an easy to download big brush pack, I would be a krita shill, lover and sucker all my life.CSP is an option if you want to use 3D models though, the only problem I have with it is that big brushes lag the fuck out of my pc.
new to art, so bought some basic csp version, was great besides some random screen tearing when panning.>Wanted to try making a small animationLmao? They artificially limit how many frames you are allowed to make behind another paywall.This is some pay for car seat heating type bullshit, uninstalled out of principle.Krita has been great so far.
>>7674831>. Plus the amount of free brushpacks that exist is crazy.yeah nah, it was the thing that actually made me leave because there is so little compared to csp>>7674630clip studio
>>7676000There is a repo that helps you extract the png from the csp file https://github.com/Loperamide/CSPExtract/Even though I use Krita, not being able to use CSP brushes is such a fucking bummer Cool trips btw
>>7675623pyw. I get the feeling your hobby is literally technology and not art. 100% you also generate AI art
Krita has 16-bit scene-referred painting.But then again the number of people who use that, or even knows about why that's such a great thing, can probably be counted on a single hand with some missing fingers.
>>7680202I just use a hardround brush, all that tech stuff is too complicated for me. Wouldn't use it anyway because letting a program draw for you is like letting a robot fuck your wife, takes away all the pleasure. What kind of stuff do you draw?
>>7674696>troonwaremore on this?
>>7674649Basically marketing interns and astroturfing were given several "talking points". They just keep repeating "UI ugly", "garbage text tool" like a parrot.
>>7680298I hope these guys are just nodraws who are desperate for replies. Somehow that'd be less sad than people getting paid to act like faggots on a forum with less than 10 concurrent users.
>>7674630Krita is for gay furry trannies and CSP is for true gigachad illustrators. Also CSP can import .abr brushes, which means you'll have less trouble importing shit from Photoshop into CSP. Krita only has that gay ass blending engine and that gay ass blocky UI that looks like a five year old made it. This is just one of many examples of why CSP is all around better. If you use Krita, you suck cocks and are never ever going to make it.
>>7680368CSP only imports the stamp and pressure settings of PS brushes. Literally all of the custom dynamics are lost. It’s practically useless since you have rebuild any brush more complicated than a hard round brush
>>7680343Hey let them get that bag, I wish I could get paid to shitpost on 4chan.
>>7680368Actually you'll find CSP is for gay furry trannies and Krita is for true gigachad illustrators. Checkmate.

>>7680988>obnoxiousProjecting much?That panel is customizable, and essential for me. I added copy selection, cut selection, Pen pressure, along with the other basic buttons is extremely useful.
>>7680997gotchakrita is shitz cuz u can do this simple thing on any other drawing program (mostly)also CSP brush engine and settings >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>7680780Are linux devs still doing that thing where they consider laptops to be mobile devices?
Krita, like most Linuxboo OSS, sucks for no other reason than it feels the need to be different just for the sake of being different. There is no good reason for Krita not to be set up to function exactly like Photoshop or CSP, but it's not. And that mismatch in standardization means there isn't reliable skill/knowledge transfer between software.
>>7681005>also CSP brush engine and settings >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>*raughs in photoshop*
>>7681025CSP and Photoslop are more or less identical functionally.Except CSP has dogshit performance
>>7681025whatever do you mean? CSP brush engine > Krita > PS
>>7681028unironically my CSP runs MUCH better than my PS, i use bothi just use PS for post processing, effects and finishing touches, pretty much
>>7674630Pirated CSPKrita has neat brush settings but man the UI is dogshit, yet another open source software development by people with shriveled vocal cords because they haven't talked with anyone in the past 5 years>Erm uh you can customize it if you spend a weekend worth of troubleshootingNo!>Uhm software design shouldn't bend to the standards set by the closed source empireFuck you!
the only good thing about Krita is Memileo's impasto brushesand even then you could just use Rebelle 8, it's pretty much a legit digital trad program
>>7681108it's the only thing keeping me from uninstalling Krita
>>7681116>And he paints anime with it
>>7681120hell naw, i paint big dick futa furry wit it
>>7681108>and even then you could just use Rebelle 8, it's pretty much a legit digital trad program>Krita is free with free brushes>Rebelle is a gorillion dollars subscriptionwareHmmmmm, I wonder which one I should use
>>7680988Pls understand. Free app. Open source. Bing bing wahoo
>>7681210>subscriptionwareMy dude, they sell the previous version for like $10
>>7681108OHHH SHIT!!!! How come I didn't know about this brush? I just test them, I'm blown out of the fucking planet! This is a total game changer now.I liked Krita before, but now, it's gonna be my religion.Thanks for the tip anon!
>>7681216You can't really reason with kritafags. They see free and good enough as it's main selling point. There's no point trying to sell Mercedes to people who only see cars as a means to get the from point A to point B. They'd probably just take public transport or bike anyway.
>>7681222Bitch, Krita IS the Mercedes of painting software.
>>7674630For me, it's SAI.
>>7681222>sell MercedesAt least it's not a burger metaphor
>>7680220Absolutely mogged.
>>7674630I started with Clip Studio years ago and I still use it throughout my journey.I love the manga features.
>>7674630Krita exclusively used by poor peoplealmost no how to use manualsClip Studio PaintJapanese illustration standard next to PhotoshopHundreds of book and video manuals Krita has ugly as fuck Text Input but the only positive here is if you made a good passable manual for making illustration with Krita, you're probably one of the firsts.
>>7674630If you use hotkeys, you don't have to deal with GUI. I literally just program a keypad like pic-related and press buttons for 90% of my workflow.
I've considered dropping ps to try krita, I just haven't taken the time to dig into it and acclimate myself to it. I have ps set up how I like and I know it'll take me along time to sort
>>7674630Tried both a long time ago and chose Krita since it has a better brush engine and brush packs I was interested in, and I don't care for manga/comic features. Plus, Krita is free.
>>7674831suck my dick krita nigger and jam your gay "pop up palette" up your pop up assyour gay ass program can't even do the basics like EVERY OTHER drawing software out thereNo I don't want to erase with the same brush I am drawing or painting with why the fuck would I want thatMy eraser in real life doesn't have the same texture as my fucking pencil eitherNo I don't want to waste my time customising your gay poop up palette Give me my hard eraser when I press E without having to jump through hoops and download some random ass plugins off of github or the forumsThe only redeeming factors are that it's free (but so is every other software out there if you pirate them) and the perspective tools are pretty cool
try out both and see which one you like moreCSP has a free trialKrita is freeyou will not find your own opinions from the posts of others
>>7685927i have to use hotkeys alot bc need to squeeze as much screen area for canvas as i canalso had to go through some strange ways to bind E to a regular eraser brusht. poorfag
>>7685927yeah, but i like the ones with the scroll wheel. Either way keypads are a neccessity.
>>7674630open source is based so Krita
>>7674833>photoshop>in 2025are you good?
>>7674630I like both, I used both initially, but eventually I did settle on Clip Studio just because it's a little bit more efficient in my experience. It runs a tiny bit better, uses a lot less memory to have big canvases open, and generally has the kinds of little optimizations that you can't expect unpaid open source devs to spend months on. The UI is a little more immediately intuitively laid out as well IMO.Having said that I've been transitioning back to Krita since I'm moving over to Linux full-time when W10 support ends and it's totally fine. I can't have 50,000x50,000px canvases open on my boat anchor PC, but that's not really a huge issue is it now?Both are totally fine programs that I would gladly recommend. Personally I think CSP has a slight edge, but not enough of an edge to override someone's personal preferences or affect the quality of their art at all regardless of which way they choose to go.
Please make the eraser a separate tool from brush, 'eraser mode' fucking sucks because it messes with my muscle memory
>>7693042No, I like eraser brush mode because I make painterly paintings with painterly texture. With eraser mode I can erase and preserve the "naturalness" of the brush marks, but always switching to a round eraser would ruin it. Just get a keypad like >>7685927 or create a brush that just erases and bind it to a key using ten brushes plugin. Ideally, you should be using a programmable keypad if you're serious about digital art.
>>7693510You can just have both. Adding a dedicated eraser tool wouldn't magically remove your option. >Just use a pluginThe fact that it even exists shows it's a problem for many people.
>>7693721>Adding a dedicated eraser tool wouldn't magically remove your option. But this is what you said:>Please make the eraser a separate tool from brush.>The fact that it even exists shows it's a problem for many people.Ten brushes plugin just allows you to use 10 brushes with regular keyboard hotkeys, it doesn't change the eraser mode.Are you the same dude in every Krita thread whining about the eraser mode since years ago? Stick to another software if it bothers you so much. If you spent more time painting and making your own brushes and textures instead of whining, you would realize the brush eraser mode has more utility than a generic eraser mode. Generic eraser mode is a crutch for noobs and people who make flat anime pictures because they don't add texture to their paintings.
>>7693760Ok. Add it in a way that doesn't remove eraser mode. Happy?>Generic eraser mode is a crutch for noobs and people who make flat anime pictures because they don't add texture to their paintings.What are you talking about, CSP dedicated eraser tool has many you can select with texture, softness or whatever.>Stick to another software if it bothers you so much.That's what I do, I'd like to change things such as eraser mode are annoying.
>>7692693>I'm moving over to Linux full-timewhat distro did you pick? I've tried Krita with Mint and that shit was flying
>>7693768>What are you talking about, CSP dedicated eraser tool has many you can select with texture, softness or whatever.I was assuming you just want the same eraser when you press 'E' every time because otherwise I don't see a good reason for the "eraser mode" you are suggesting. For CSP, you have to manually select the eraser brush. If I am painting with a custom, textured brush, naturally I want the same type of eraser to preserve the natural texture. This is more convenient than having to manually look for the matching eraser texture each time if you have many brushes with unique textures.
>>7693963I'm using Mint on my desktop because I just want it to stay out of my way, but I've been using Arch for years and years on my laptop.And for the record, Krita runs *fine*, there's really nothing wrong with it performance-wise. But CSP runs just a little bit better IMO. The example I used earlier with opening a 50,000x50,000 canvas is a pretty good illustration I think, CSP does some kind of black magic piecewise layer compression, so having a 50kx50k canvas with 3 or 4 layers open only uses like 3GB of memory, but doing the same in Krita instantly pulls down all 32 gigs in my system until the process hits the system swap and slows waaaay down. Is that a real-world concern for anyone at all? Not really, but it is worth noting I think - I often have a lot of files open at once and the higher memory load can actually start to become significant if I'm working on several bigger projects at once.
>>7680988nta but I figured it out, you have to go into settings -> configure toolbar, double click everything on the right side on all three submenus to delete them.>>7686156I didn't understand why you would want to erase with the same pen either until I got into painting instead of just drawing. Also helps a lot with lineart, I would later find out. That said, even if it is way better to paint with, it is really autistic of them to force it on their users. The most important factor for user retention and perception of your software is how much friction it creates when switching over. All the furfags had to do was copy the standing convention of every art software ever created.>>7674630they're both fine. I mostly use CSP because I draw comics and the vector tools are godlike but if you're not into that, Krita is more than fine. It's worth mentioning too that Krita has lots of great community developed plugins that are never talked about, like the Blender layer plugin and the Shortcut Composer's pie menus.
>>7693042>>7693510I don't know if you guys use keybinds but both "modes" are possible. I have both set and use both.
>>7694652I have 3 brushes I use in CSP, standard flat one, one textured and one soft. If I need specific texture I normally just make new over-paint layer and use a regular textured brush. I could also transform each of my brushes into an eraser by changing it's mode but I'm not really used to working like that. >>7694959How so? What I want is if I press E it will go to eraser tool, where I can pick and choose from a selection. And if I press B (for example) it will go back to a brush I had previously selected. It's like both are brush tools, but the ones under my E shortcut are all set to erase mode, so I can more easily swap between them.As far as I know, the way things are in Krita, if you press E you're stuck in eraser mode until you press E again, it's a toggle.
>>7674630I am Mainly a CSP/sai user, also use procreate when drawing on ipadI have tried krita before but it felt really slow. Like not the performance but the overall feel of drawing being slow. I appreciate it being free stuff but it felt difficult to draw in, That being said I will make a finished work in krita and then share my experience compared to CSP, sai and procreate Anyone knows how to change UI of krita?Also the scrubby zoom of krita is reversed, I use alt+space and my stylus to zoom in and out of canvas but this is consistent across CSP and sai but it is reversed in krita - does anyone knows how to reverse it?
Started on Krita when i got my drawing tablet, bought CSP and upgraded to EX later for animationHonestly Krita is a pretty great start for artists, it's free so that's a big Wonce you're more comfortable with drawing digitally you should move to CSP or Sai etcYeah krita isn't the best, but it'll always be there for new artists to start drawing
>>7674630If celsys fixes the dogshit performance and makes the brush engine on par with krita then maybe ill consider it. Linux is also a plus.
>>7694991update - configured krita to be more like CSP, i was able to reverse the zoom issue.what i liked - krita is "smoother: than clip studio paint, actions like zooming in and transforming menu etc were buttery smooth to me.i installed a lot of themes and changing the workspace was easy too. i never felt that there as something "missing" except few things like few brush settings and overall my own custom brushes. overall i loved setting up krita and drawing in it was good enoughwhat i didn't like lack of brushes, i have made a lot of custom brushes, pencils etc for Clip studio paint, i was able to port them to procreate and not have my brain fry. but making a brush in krita is too annoying- i am a life long HRB user to paint but i cannot let go my pencils to sketch with, i switched from "krita creamy" to "hard" performance type which made my experience better but it felt really annoying.i have used photoshit, CSP, sai and procreate - and much more, but using krita felt like it was trying to reinvent the wheel when it came to brushes and my default muscle memory, when i picked sai from CSP - i was able to snap in very quickly, so with procreate too, but krita felt weird even after setting it up.but this isn't something that's a "really bad" thing as if i spent a day or 2 with it i will get used to the quirks of it. moving past that krita is a really great deal software.i may never switch from CSP to krita because my brushes - workflow and assets etc are all either impossible or difficult to port to krita, but if someone is starting WITH krita, i cannot see any pros for them to use clip studio or anything else, krita has everything any artist will ever need.also eraser tool was very annoying to use.

>>7675041I am a staunch supporter of piracy, but pirating Adobe products is like being happy that you're getting shot in the foot for free instead of paying for it
>>7694767>CSP does some kind of black magic piecewise layer compressionFor me it opens almost instantly even if it is badly optimized with certain brushes. Krita takes a while to do so (Also depending if you also downloaded lots of brushes for it) in windows
>>7693963NTA, I used Mint when i first came from windows, but I'm now on Fedora.Had some issues using KDE Plasma, Krita would be a bit laggy sometimes. Been having a great time with Cinnamon as a DE now though
>>7674649>Krita lacks is a more advanced text editor.didn't they add it in last update?
>>7695966>pirating Adobe products is like being happy that you're getting shot in the foot
>>7697199Using Adobe isn't just about getting the software for free, it's about locking yourself into an ecosystem, which in of itself is an investment whether you pirated or not. Unless you use Photoshop for work, there is no good reason to use it for just drawing and painting.
>>7674630Krita has everything, you just have to configure it, like any design software, in CSP it's the same, in Paint Tool Sai too, in Photoshop the same, all these softwares come with UI customization options, stop making excuses OP, just draw.
The only software I don't recommend is Corel Painter, what a piece of junk software, it's slow, heavy, full of errors, and on top of that it's expensive as shit, it's a scam, I used it for a while and had to refund it.
>>7694818I paint too yet I STILL don't want to erase with the same brush I paint with9 times out of 10 I simply want to get rid of what I painted quickly or create a hard edge without having to do the whole lasso selection shit and if I do want a fancy textured edge or whatever I'll do that with the brush tool and not the eraserI AM FUCKING FYOOMIN'
>>7697278>another texturelet filtered by kritamany such cases
>>7697278I agree, painting with transparency is the same thing, could even be bound to the same button as an eraser, just shift e instead of e, but alas
>>7697223>Using Adobe isn't just about getting the software for free, it's about locking yourself into an ecosystemThis is the stupidest thing I've read all day.
>>7697556nta but it's definitely true, at least, that's what Adobe is aiming for. They're okay with some amount of piracy as that's the reason for their market dominance, which they leverage with ruthless jewery. Pirating their product helps them maintain that dominance, which for me is enough of a reason to avoid Adobe's stuff where I can.
>>7697556Your ecosystem is even worst because you're pirating it. You need both the crackers and Adobe to not fuck with your shit. And if you do switch, good luck porting all of your brushes. But that is if you actually draw.
>>7697574Seriously, you would never pirate Adobe, right? Only idiots make these comments. The entire Adobe package is pirated. I've never had any problems with the brushes or the content. I don't know where you get so much mental retardation.
>>7697628>can't read>spergs outsmartest adobe user
>>7697633>I project my flawsOk
>>7697674but I don't use adobe
>>7697712ok, you were talking the whole fucking thread about software you don't use, stupid crab
>>7697780Take your meds.
Krita is lacking in good vector lineart options and manga stuff like CSP if that matters to you.It is great casually if you're fine with the FOSS quirks and don't need vector lineart or other niche options.I started out with Krita and a cheap drawing tablet, if you're serious on going pro, CSP might be better or else you're going down the David Revoy rabbit hole.
>>7698268>or else you're going down the David Revoy rabbit hole.god i wish
>>7697847Take my cock
>>7698573Do you need a dilator after the operation, or do you already have one?
>>7674630it baffles me how little people seems to call out CSP for its lack of GPU acceleration
>>7674630what's the differeance between trial and paid version of clip studio? i'm thinking of pirating italso any good source of torrent?
How the fuck do we draw anime waifus? Can never seem to get clean line art and always add too much detail. Especially with hair strands
When does CSP go on sale?
>>7701611next one will probably be mid September
The eraser thing is kinda weird yeah, but you guys do know that you can make your eraser diferent than the brush you draw with, and make your eraser just the eraser brush that's in krita? No need for plugins either.
>>7674849I'm used to Krita so it feels way better to me than SAI. But SAI does have one enormous advantage which is that the program opens in about one second flat (or even less), while Krita takes almost a minute of sitting around at the splash screen.Similarly with creating a new document, it's instant in SAI somehow. Amazing to try an art program which is actually reasonably optimized
I need a laptop specifically for krita on the go, but everything I find within my budget is all many shit cores instead of a few good ones
>>7674630Are you poor?>NoCSP>YesAre you stupid?>NoCSP>YesKrita
>>7694974idk if there's a mroe efficient way but what i've been using is:1. shortcuts>ten brushes> change one of the shortcut to E2. tools>script>ten brushes> assign your eraser to the E buttonpressing E will switch your current brush to the eraser and another press will switch it back to the last brush you used, pretty convinient to me. also i bind eraser mode to capslock
