EVERYTHING new in Krita 5 || All the new features revealed

[@DavidRevoy]

I tested most of the features and read about them during development but everything happened into separate branches, separate threads and over long time period. Frankly, I had at this point no big picture in mind of all work done on Krita beta 5... But now thanks to your very well made video, I could finally measure the big differences all this threads and merge request, refactors did in comparison to the 4.x series. So, thank you very much Wojtryb! And by the way, great accomplishment for compressing all this content into less than 8 minutes! 👍

[@wojtryb]

Thank you for commenting David! For some reason I managed to remember all those things I was reading about on KA and developer chat. Maybe that's because I tested them all at once recently - when prealpha stopped crashing for me on regular basis. At first I thought there might not be that much to talk about, as the main feature being "resource rewrite" is not that visually attractive, but no - all those smaller changes together form a very strong improvement. I'd say that krita major releases just reached a magnitute of usual releases of blender - which is rather insane considering the pace of blender devs novadays ;)

[@melficexd]

As little my contribution to krita was, I'm happy to see it was a worth one 😃

[@wojtryb]

Whatever this contribution was, big thanks on behalf of the whole community. Krita strongly depends on those tiny things users do for her, so I'm sure yours was important enough to be grateful :)

[@mikeyokite]

Timelapse recording!? Heck yeah!

[@wojtryb]

Yup, it works like a charm. I never could bare the pressure of being recorded, but this feature with automatic start and taking breaks when I'm not painting, really fixes that for me

[@SleepyRulu]

I know right

[@dfgdfdgrtyh6454]

*immediately gets a cup of tea and sits down to relish in 7 minutes and 49 seconds of Krita awesomeness.

[@wojtryb]

Hah! Yes, this release is quite great. I don't think I remember so many new stuff in a single update.

[@raghukamath]

Nice summary of big changes. I am really excited for this release :)

[@wojtryb]

Me too! I don't think krita 4 had so many changes in it, and I really hope this new release will be a big event in general.

[@One_Odd_Parrot]

Darn can't wait!! it looks so good!! I need your brushes

[@wojtryb]

Yeah, it does :) You can download my brushpack for free - check them out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWacYZaPn9qDr6c

[@Sewius]

Thanks for the showcase. I'm eager to try the timelapse feature and perhaps use the popup palette again now that the small triangle color selector can be changed.

[@wojtryb]

Those timelapses are cool - I already love them. Right now I'm quite used to "show color selector" already, but this ability to change both type and size of the pop-up selector make it way more useful.

[@postmax81]

This looks very good. I have really come to love Krita, so much that I actually prefer it over Clip Studio Paint, which used to be my daily driver for illustration. I am not a brush creator in Krita yet, but these new modes probably will make the engine even more impressive. I am sure Ramon Miranda will come up with some amazing brushes! The interface improvements and the transformation changes are also great to have.

[@wojtryb]

That's great! I'm sure that Ramon will find some great use-cases for those new modes and I hope I'll find some time to play around with them myself too.

[@lanterns3018]

Brush rotation came to the right click popup!!! Cool!! Can't understate how much it fits in my workflow

[@wojtryb]

Ypu, it's a small thing, but makes a big difference for me too. I still miss having it on the topbar, but overall that should be fully enough

[@scottpetrovic]

Very nice video going over a lot of the painting and resource changes. There are quite a few enhancements to animation, so hopefully, we can get a video or two going over all the improvements with that. There is a lot of great things coming to Krita 5!

[@wojtryb]

Yes, I'm aware though I didnt this much attention to them, and unfortunately I had some OpenGL issues when trying to use them, so I guess I'll have to check them out a bit later.

[@justabout6979]

What the heck was the 3d transforming thing you were doing at 4:27??? Was that always there or is that what the instack layer transform means? This part was a little confusing ti me

[@wojtryb]

That was in fact already there: with the usual transfirm tool you can press ctrl, and click outside the layer for this fast 3d transform. Instack layer transform is about the layer being displayed behind other layers while transforming.

[@Angel-de4er]

Thanks a lot for this, is kinda hard to keep up to date with all the things krita is getting!

[@wojtryb]

Sure! I'm keeping track of it quite well, but the amount of the new things is growing fast indeed :)

[@cyinkyphoenix5772]

Love the recording tool :3 but where do you find that texture for the canvas? Did you just scan a piece of paper?

what brush pack do you use? Is it up anywhere for download?

[@wojtryb]

These are mine. You can search for them in my channel. Most of my videos have proper download links in the description - here I had to forget about it.

[@MrGhostTheBigRoast]

accessible through right click is better but when can we get brush rotation as hotkeys.. :( its just one of those things that seem so obvious and doable to me, a lay person. and opening a pop up every time i need to change the angle is still very unintuitive and slow.

[@wojtryb]

I miss it too - what's worst here is that it's not accesible in python so we can't even write add-ons for that. There were already some posts on krita-artists about that, but there's no one who could do that now - no volunteers, while paid devs are super busy with 5.0.

[@encapsulatio]

Only thing Krita is missing is realistic oil/water color/acrylic etc simulation when put on the canvas like in Corel /Rebelle 4/ArtRage 6/Expresii .

[@wojtryb]

You know, everyone has their own idea on what's the only thing missing in krita that would make them fully switch to krita. I've heard about "normal" eraser by default, clipping masks as alpha inheritance is "unintuitive", smart shapes, fully realtime gradient maps, 3D model poser and many more small and huge new features. You can't have them all - luckily we have a good maintainer with a vision who can decide on what would bring the most benefit to the biggest amount of users with reasonable amount of work :)

Any new about Krita fot Android Tablets?

[@wojtryb]

Afaik Android version is the same program as on desktop - there list of new features is the same, and you can try them in beta (available as .apk) In terms of integration with Android itself - the work is still on, bugs are being fixed, but it should be rather usable there.

[@fortres008]

[@wojtryb]

I'm glad you did!

[@edgarej]

File dialog previews! Yes please!

[@wojtryb]

Not sure if krita native file dialog is the default one on win10, but I guess it should be possible to choose it. Oh, and there are also previews available in File>recent documents on every system.

[@edgarej]

@@wojtryb I'm on Kubuntu, and I've been using the appimage. The appimage doesn't have file dialog previews. Not even if I turn on the option to use the system's native file dialog. If this is fixed in Krita 5, I would be so ecstatic

[@wojtryb]

Sorry, I usually have to assume win10. I recorded this video on kubuntu appimage, and as you can see, displaying previews was added in this dialog.

[@thecultofberserk7246]

When is gonna reléase the beta versión of Krita 5.0?

[@wojtryb]

It was scheduled 4 days ago, but the devs decided not to rush it, and truly fix all the issues they know about. On today's meeting there were no new dates, but they still seem to want to release it this month. I'll let everyone here know, if I'll get more specific info.

[@jensenraylight8011]

krita already cover 80% of my use case, but if krita have on click multi layer selection, and multi layer transform without having to use grouping first, i would be satisfied, and put a blind eye over the other missing feature. i don't know why this is still not a priority yet, this single feature could bring a lot of newcomer into krita

[@wojtryb]

I don't really know what you mean by multi layer selection - you can select multiple layers with ctrl, shift, using shift+r to do that on canvas, instead of layer docker. There even is a plugin on KA for selecting multiple layers with dragging over the layer docker. In terms of layer transform - I think one GSOC student was working on some operations for multiple selected layers for krita 5.1, but I'm not sure they managed to complete this specific task with smaller than usual budget by Google. I don't know why those specific two features should be a priority. With 4 mln Krita users, there are 433 officially requested wishes, 185 confirmed to be done "when it's time". But apart from that there is also 580 known bugs that needs fixing. Each day brings 2 or 3 new bugs that need verifying and then fixing. Most of work is done by 10 people currently working in krita, which can get smaller with lower than usual income from stores. The priority for those paid devs is mostly polishing krita 5 and fixing bugs, as most people who dump krita, do it because of crashes, and performance issues, not lack of one specific thing. I've seen lots of people thinking that krita is missing only one specific feature, but for some reason, each of them wants something else :)

[@jensenraylight8011]

​@@wojtryb Thanks for the information, i don't know about that "shift+r". i already do some testing, and it works like charm, i think this would makes my workflow much faster, i can select multiple layer ,group it and transform with 3 shortcut this made my day a lot better. good to hear that the dev are working on the multiple layer transform in krita 5.1. well, because people are automatically think that you can select the layer by clicking the object on the canvas with the move tool, when it doesn't work that way, i got panic. i already search for multi layer selection online, and found nothing, until today, i learn that you can do that with "shift+r" i already converted full time to krita from photoshop, i think krita done a great job, the features are well thought out, and krita have a lot of unique feature that makes photoshop feels unintuitive for painting, i never got a single crash, and the software are polished i should thank for all of the developer who work tirelessly creating an awesome painting program

[@wojtryb]

​@@jensenraylight8011 those canvas inputs are really easy to miss. I'm not sure what exact features related to multiple layer operations will be included in 5.1, but transforming many layers at once was requested multiple times on KA, so I believe the proproty is relatively high. And yeah, the devs apart from being great and hard-working programmers are also very supportive and kind people. They deserve a lot of love and recognition of their work.

How about layer style feature ?

[@wojtryb]

Krita already has layers styles. Not all the of the PS ones are implemented, but there are quite a few to use. I think that from 5.0 they will be considered a resource, so you will be able to save and load layer style presets.

thats nice and all but there's still missing basic features like centering/alignment for layers and its really annoying

[@wojtryb]

I think that was already requested on krita-artists, but it's not on a TO-DO list. With krita being mainly a painting app, I guess it's not really considered a basic feature. You can still bring this topic on the forum once again,

[@gum8191]

Krita set me free.

[@adeswars845]

i wait for a bone tool :)

[@wojtryb]

I'm not sure it's planned right now - I think that Emmet and Eion planned to work on better audio support after current work on UI and transformation is done. I guess that's something that Blender is better suited for, and it may not be worth too much development in Krita which is more oriented on traditional frame-by-frame animation. But you could ask them on KA on current development plans in animation.

I dont know how I can start a new file with the size I want and intelligent canvas texture (without using the downloaded template for watercolor per example), I'm new in Krita but I want use it as my main program for painting.

[@Diego81275]

I mean, smart canvas

[@wojtryb]

Templates are krita documents you can load to start a new document. You cannot specify their size while loading them. First you should create a template with "File > Create template from image" on the document you have. Then after you open this template with "file > new image", use the ctrl+alt+c shortcut to resize the canvas. You can also resize it before you save a template of you use one resolution more often than others, or create templates for each common resolution you use.
