Thank you SOOOO MUCH for ZOOMING IN so I can actually SEE what you are clicking on! Thank you for patiently REPEATING what you are doing, not skipping anything, and moving at a nice even pace. I'm just getting into Krita, and I've come across way TOO MANY "tutorials" that are frustrating to follow. I really appreciate how you put this together! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Liked 👍 and Subscribed!🔔

Trust me I know exactly what you're talking about and that's why I did everything this way. Granted it's a lot more work but I completely understand. I'm glad this could help you and I appreciate your appreciation!

[@JazzReaper]

you deserve a raise this man is an innovator, he deserves to be seen

[@MakeDigitalArt]

Lol thanks, tell KZbin 😄

[@vrtex17]

Instead of applying blur to the layer you can apply it as a filter mask. That way you can change the color of the glow without having to undo the filter. You also won't have to merge the layers, just add the filter mask to the group.

[@MakeDigitalArt]

Oh? I'll have to try this out and pin it if it works, thanks for sharing!!

lol. you can add glow from layer style properties and change color also..

[@TAGTheArtGoblin]

Really?

[@thereedededge]

This helped A LOT!! However, I need the graphic I’m making to be digitally printed on a t-shirt, and that requires the gradients to be halftones. How do I convert the glow effect gradients into halftones in krita?

Do the same principles apply to text

[@fidodido3649]

Do you know to fix Krita (Linux) darken canvas when adjust filter mask, so we can't preview exactly the color...

[@anonymousgghost]

My computer doesn't have the duplicate option

[@1LaDyPhReSH]

i have a png file i want to glow....can i get help with that?

[@tenurialcorgi4093]

Everytime I set the blur the way I want it Krita just deletes the layer I applied it to can someone help me with that?

[@harusu8610]

i literally need this lmao

[@zurcasi]

How can I use the blur tool on vector layers?

[@MakeDigitalArt]

you have to right click on it and rasterize it if it's greyed out as vector. You can duplicate the layer to avoid losing the vector one in case you want to come back and make changes.

[@vrtex17]

Add the blur as a filter mask. That way you can keep the layer as vector layer.

[@Tylarrisbetter]

Its not working for me..

[@MakeDigitalArt]

What part?

[@JayJayXD]

@@MakeDigitalArt I think I have the same problem ... the Gaussian Blur just applies to the inner part of the layer, not to the outer part?! :(
