KRITA 5 in 5 minutes || tutorial

[@wojtryb]

If you encounter any technical problem or have a specific question regarding krita - writing a post on krita-artists.org may be a better idea, as the forum gives you the ability to post screenshots and get in touch with many krita users one of which may know the solution. I try my best here, but sometimes I won't be able to help properly.

Hello! May i ask, do i need to update my krita? I've downloaded it last march 2021

[@wojtryb]

I'm happy it's useful to you. You're welcome :)

[@Ahzahail]

You sir FINALLY made Krita useable to me. Well useable very quickly. I have struggled so much with trying to learn all the new keyboard shortcuts. I have so many drawing programs it is hard to memorize shortcuts for all of them. I had no idea about the canvas input settings being a shortcut changer as well as the keyboard shortcut settings. That made Rotate able to be changed to 'R'. Basically I like everyone else learned on photoshop and then migrated to other apps. I really wish the photoshop compatibility actually changed all of this to actual photoshop commands, Still had to fix color picker zoom and rotate. Thats all I have found at the moment, but I'll change the rest as I find them. Now i'll go tell Marc Burnet how to do that as well. He tried Krita on his KZbin Channel and could not figure it out as well. Thank you! Subscribed! Now that I know that, I am going to go donate to Krita!

[@wojtryb]

I'm glad it helped you, and thanks for donating to the foundation. We're all aware that having two separate systems for shortcuts is bad both for UX-wise and maintanance, but it's current technological limitation. Keyboard shortcuts are a provided solution used in many other apps, but it does not allow those long, modifier-based actions so those had to be implemented in separate, custom system. It would be great to have one, unified system at some point, but that would be a huge task, and it's not that high-priority, as the current solution "kind of works", if you know how to use it :)

[@cristinocanga]

When he said 3d rotation I felt it, I felt it Really

Thanks for the heads up on some of the the Basic interface, Canvas navigation chages, also what you can do with the Layer stack.

[@wojtryb]

No problem. I believe that should clear some of the confusion people get while switching to krita.

[@Nintendude.]

​@@wojtryb Even for a older user like me it's still a headache when they change a bit of the keyboard shortcuts from the previous versions. And hide my beloved Ink Pen 25 in each version update is alway a pain until I find a way to get it back again, there has also been other brushes in the past I have never been able to see again. Projects like animations takes a long time and I am still pretty much a noob so my progress is slow, very, very, very slow, so having your main brushes for your animation art style vanish out of existence really grinds my gears. I just hope that future Krita versions don't reject project files from past versions.

[@wojtryb]

I don't think any of the default shortcuts was changed in this release. Brushes should not disappear between versions. Those from krita 3 should be possible to activate in settings > manage resources. You can always open files from the previous major version. If you still have those from krita 3, you have to use krita 4 to save them. But make releases happen only every 3-4 years.

[@Elementroar]

Thanks a lot for the summary video! I really enjoy your style and techniques as well, so I've been hoping to learn more about Krita through your videos. I didn't have experience much with Krita before v5 beta, so it feels like a good jumping on point.

Yay, didn't know Krita updated! Of course, this means I have to redo a lot of the configurations to work with my Wacom One. A lot of it is making it fit something like Sketchbook Pro, but it can be a bit of a pain with panning vs rotating

[@wojtryb]

Krita shortcuts are rather configurable (I even made a whole video about it). If you can't make profiles for each app, you can try to make some tweaks so that all the programs work well, ideally with the same shortcuts.

[@coreym4147]

[@visual_chris]

man this is so sick!!

[@ontune1715]

I think Krita just kills clip studio when it comes to painting. For some unknown reason, clip studio doesn’t have hardware acceleration support. Because of that, some brushes tends to be slow and even the transform tool lags! Using a 5900x cpu and still questionable performance. At the end of the day I just come back to krita.

[@wojtryb]

Well, I guess it's always more complicated than it looks at first glance. For instance no 2D app (PS, CSP nor krita) can use GPU for painting - it helps with display or some 3D models, but you cannot really gain anything for computing the strokes. And krita uses multithreading for pixel engine, but not for the smudge brushes - it's still not sure if it's even possible to compute this crazy algorithm on multiple threads, as the dabs depend so much on the dabs painted before them. But it's great you find keeps performance better - all those tiny performance improvements across the years add up I guess. CSP is now considered the main rival of Krita as unlike PS, they really care about new features dedicated to painting, and are quite innovative in this area.

[@anumine207]

Clip studio does have hardware acceleration support hidden. However it's automically enabled. How it did even lag for you? My potato laptop with Celeron from 2016 works smooth on clip studio paint,and it's 99% weaker than yours PC.

[@ontune1715]

​@@anumine207 I use alot of large textured brushes for painting, mostly at 12"x18 300dpi which demands alot of cpu. Sometimes just regular A4 Canvas. I dont really have much info on how clip studio utilizes the cpu. Maybe its just their engine. But I think Krita Pixel Engine is more optimized. Try it for yourself, open a large canvas at 300dpi and use large brushes with texture and it will stutter on csp. But if you are only doing lineart stuff then these stuff shouldnt matter. Thats not to say csp is bad or anything, it has so much amazing assets and UI also that new liquify addition is a great help. I just hope the devs optimize its performance more.

[@cassthepiratefox]

I started using Krita a little and I ha no guide, so this is very helpful!

[@lilliefluff]

I'm way too attached to and very happy with CSP but Krita is such a lovely free option! ^^ I also still use it sometimes whenever I need to create tileable textures (aka relatively frequently) as the one thing CSP is missing for me is Krita's wraparound mode :c

[@wojtryb]

Great! After all it's important we use software that fits us best. CSP grows so fast, I'm sure warparound mode will come there sooner or later.

[@encapsulatio]

Can Krita currently imitate realistic oil painting and acrylic painting.... at the level of Corel 2021,Rebelle,Artrage?

[@wojtryb]

No idea. I never used any of these. I'd say the brush engine is not for blindly imitating traditional media, but rather easily getting some graphical design ideas, that are specific to digital art. As both krita and my packs being free, the easiest way to find out is just too check it, if you have such a specific expectations.

[@gabe687]

This program is really good, I was looking at it at a distance for a few years because Photoshop was my main painting app. I have to say that after working with krita for a while, it's hard going back to Photoshop, it feels outdated by comparison.

[@wojtryb]

Glad to hear that. I have little comparison, as before I only used GIMP. Right now CSP is considered out main "competitor", as it's cheap, and they really seem to care about adding painting related features. I believe PS mostly relies on it's past - people being used to it after many years, tutorials, resources... But feature-wise, they start to fall behind.

[@JuhoSprite]

Is it better than photoshop now? I learned Photoshop to an extent where I could do almost everything possible within the programm, the only thing holding me back are my drawing and painting skills. I am considering to maybe just learn krita instead and get good on that program, if its easier and better for digital art then I might even switch from photoshop.

[@wojtryb]

That's personal preference. Krita is open for new users - you can download it in 10 min and check it out for free. Then you can always go back and forth. Switching software won't add you any painting skills, but it's better to learn using the interface that feels more organic to you.

[@_gesho]

Tastefully place donut tutorial at the very end. Now, how do I delete the default cube on Krita?

[@wojtryb]

Damn, for full experience you'd have to create a template with the default cube, so that you can delete it each time ;)

[@cookietime8475]

it is normal that i don't have access to the saturarion filter layer ? sometimes I used it to have more vibrants colours in my painting . Is it because you have an payable version or is it normal ?

[@wojtryb]

You can adjust saturation in filter>adjust>HSV adjustment. I believe the default is ctrl+u (make sure to turn on the button on bottom left on its pop-up for easy access to other filters). We are legally not allowed to have any features behind a paywall - paid krita is only a way of supporting the devs, but it has to be the exact same as the one you download for free.

[@0PercentImagination]

Nice to see Krita get even better, its too bad that while the program improves my art skills certainly do not lol :P

Cześć, orientujesz się może czy można zwiększyć czułość skrótu shift dla brush size? Jak dla mnie fajniej jak by zwiększał brush trochę x3 razy bardziej.

[@wojtryb]

Sprawdziłem. Mnożnik dla tej akcji jest zaszyty w kodzie jako stała wartość, więc masz całkowitą pewność, że nie zmienisz jej w opcjach lub pliku konfiguracyjnym kritarc :D (który czasem miewa takie ukryte opcje). Dobra wiadomość jest taka, że zmiana o której mówisz wymaga zmodyfikowania jednej linijki kodu: krita-artists.org/t/testing-needed-non-linear-brush-drag-resize-response/27339?u=wojtryb (W tym przypadku jest to podmiana 0.01 na 0.03 w przykładzie z forum). Zła wiadomość jest taka, że wymaga to skompilowania krity i na innym systemie niż linux jest to koszmar nawet dla początkującego programisty :D Najlepszą opcją jest zrobić "feature request" na tym forum z prośbą o dodanie tego mnożnika do konfiguracji, bo to jest raczej bardzo niewielkie zadanie, a myślę, że fajnie by było to mieć.

[@skarlok1]

​@@wojtryb Dzięki za odpowiedz. Warto w ogóle kompilować Krite na linuxie? Jest może szybsza jak na windowsie?

[@wojtryb]

Kompilowanie na sens w zasadzie tylko jak chce się coś samemu zmieniać w kodzie. Do normalnego używania stabilnych wersji zdecydowanie lepiej użyć gotowych instalek ze strony. Port na windowsa w tej chwili jest na tyle dopracowany, że nie powinno być większych różnic w prędkości działania. Kompilacja na Linuxie po prostu idzie dosyć fajnie, zgodnie z tutorialem mając podstawową wiedzę o bashu. Na Windowsie wymaga dużej biegłości w rozwiązywaniu problemów informatycznych bez instrukcji. Zwykłemu śmiertelnikowi nie polecałbym żadnego z powyższych :)

aw man i was excited when you show the way of having a real eraser and to switch using (b) and (e) like on every other program but it doesn't work that well in practice. Unless you only use 1 brush this method is super clunky, you will need to bind to (b) the brush you are currently using and rebind when you are going to use another one. Anyway, it is and improvement since the last time i use krita, maybe next version.

[@wojtryb]

Then check out the free plugins: buli brush switch (krita-artists.org/t/buli-brush-switch/32677?u=wojtryb) or three slots.

[@0onix120]

@@wojtryb I don't get it, this have the exact same behavior shown in the video but with a different interface. I appreciate your help but couldn't manage to install three slots, that is indeed is the behavior i want. Is kinda funny to see people arguing over such a common thing on that thread, didn't know this was such a contentious issue, like of course people find this behavior weird, is a feature that is literally everywhere. Is not like you are getting anything in return, you can paint with alpha on other programs too... what a read.

[@wojtryb]

I'm personally a little out of the discussion as I like the default behavior. As you can see it's not so obvious thing. Having the feature implemented 3 times is confusing, removing current implementation breaks people's workflows, even when somebody does what a few people requested, it turns out everybody wanted something a bit different...

[@jonmichaelgalindo]

@@wojtryb No, things like adding frames and switching layers are tied exclusively to keyboard shortcuts and right-click context menus. It is not a matter of looking for help, the GUI was designed to not include buttons for critical features. I don't know if that's changed for 5.0 though.

i just wish for an easy " export full configurations " setting, so you can export all the shortcuts, 10 brushes seting, etc etc " idk why krita randomly deletes everything on my pc.

[@wojtryb]

Basically for win10 all the settings are stored in one file: %LOCALAPPDATA%\kritarc while all resources like brushes, themes and exported shortcut schemes are in one folder: %APPDATA%\krita\ By copying those two directories and then replacing them, you should be able to move or recover your configuration. It's highly unlikely krita deleted those resources - I would suspect some cleaner app or something of that sort. Since Krita 5 you can change location of Krita resource folder in the settings, so maybe consider changing it to location not so system related.

[@AzureDragonlady]

Can I somehow update Krita 4 to Krit 5? I don't want to reinstall all brushes :x

[@wojtryb]

Installing krita 5 over 4 should not change your settings or resources. If you're really worried about them make a backup (which you should have anyway) by going to settings > manage resources > open resource folder. This opens "krita" folder which you can backup on pendrive or online cloud. But really, it should be safe to upgrade.

[@Fanstism]

I don't know, maybe is because my laptop does not have the best memory in RAM so its always lagging, his this is kind of annoying TT

[@wojtryb]

Bad performance usually comes from a weak CPU. You can check out how it works on smaller brush sizes (which usually kind of require smaller canvas size, at least at the beginning). If the lag is not dependent on the brush size, and happens even on realy small ones, you can try to switch wintab/windows ink driver in the settings, switch canvas acceleration between openGL and angle, and finally ask for more help on krita-artists.org

version 5.0.2 has arrived, I wanted to update but I don't want to lose my krita customizations How do I update without losing the customizations?

[@wojtryb]

Updating krita will not delete your customization. On upgrade from 4.x.x to 5.0.2 you will only lose custom tags once, as they were changed significantly in the code. To keep your brushes safe, go to settings > manage resources > open resource folder, and make a copy of this 'krita' folder which will get open. Keep it on a pendrive or cloud drive. Your settings are stored in kritarc file, but it's location depends on the system you use. You can make a backup if it too. But update won't delete them.

[@giihuwu5688]

When I do the first thing you said, it only shows up some predefined krita brush files Also, I don't know how to open krita files '-'

[@wojtryb]

@@giihuwu5688 You are not supposed to move 'krita' folder to another location, just make a copy of it somewhere else. If you did move it, copy it from the safe place to where it was

[@giihuwu5688]

Idk How to do this ;-;

[@wojtryb]

I don't know what you did, but if you have this 'krita' directory with your presets (wherever you moved it), click on it, copy with ctrl+c, in krita go to settings > manage resources > open resource folder, go one directory up, delete this 'krita' directory and press ctrl+v to paste the right one you have in clipboard.

[@RikuHino]

What about krita for Android

[@wojtryb]

It's the same version for Android with all it's pros and cons. No special tablet interface yet.

[@archieakira4237]

Is krita 5 beta the same as the one released today ? Are there bug fixes and improvements from the beta also?

[@wojtryb]

In fact the previous video I made is about how beta works in krita. In short - each beta contains new bug fixes found in the previous beta, but no new features as they could introduce new bugs. Now it evolved to the point where it's good enough for all the users.

[@tiagovidal8148]

someone let the people who manage the krita site know that the link to download the plugin 'g'mic' is not working.

[@wojtryb]

G'mic got integrated with krita in this release, so you no longer need to install it separately.

[@apocalypsed]

Does anybody know where I can find the displacement map? I can't find it anywhere anymore.

[@wojtryb]

I don't really know what do you need. Maybe you could ask on krita-artists.org

[@joerdannewue8122]

Hello! my question is - i dont know when but im lost one feature: previously if im touch canvas with stylus at one point krita opened to me popup pallet (but now i can use this action only for interface (for example touch layers or another docker) and i cant affect on canvas where im painting (win 10 64bit cpu "R5" gpu "nvdia card" reinstallation doesnt help. in other apps it works correctly [PhShop, Browsers] )

[@wojtryb]

I don't really understand the issue. RMB used to open a pop-up palette, but now it does nothing on a canvas, but opens a context menu when you click it on a layer? Go to Settings > configure krita > canvas inputs and ensure that there is a shortcut of RMB for the pop-up palette. krita-artists.org may be a better place to seek for technical help though.

[@itook_zukoshonor5938]

Krita has never let me import audio and I thought having the new update would change that but it still doesn’t work! Does anyone know why?

[@wojtryb]

It may be hard to get reasonable technical help in a YT comment. krita-artists.org may be a better place for that.

[@itook_zukoshonor5938]

@@wojtryb thank you!

[@Sichel22]

I would like to know if there are also adjustment layers like "levels" (ps) ? great video btw :D !

[@wojtryb]

Yes. Every filter can be used non-destructively as a filter mask under a layer or a group. You can have multiple of those under one layer. Right click on a layer, and add > filter mask, or trough filter menu: use as mask instead of just applying. Thanks :)

[@cayden4641]

Hey so i upgraded to 5.0.0 from 4.3.0 and krita no longer recognizes my stylus' first button as the eraser. When i had 4.3.0 i did not have to configure anything for the buttons on the stylus to work. I use a bamboo ink 2nd gen stylus on a windows 10 touchscreen 2 in 1 laptop. Is there anything I can do to fix? In the tablet tester it still identifies the button as an "eraser" but on the actual canvas is does not switch over.

[@wojtryb]

By default lower button should emit a middle mouse button signal. You need to set it to 'e' in the tablet driver. I don't know why it worked before. krita-artists.org may be a better place to seek help.

[@cayden4641]

@@wojtryb well there is no tablet driver because it's a windows 10 smart stylus, it doesn't connect to anything like Bluetooth it just recognizes the stylus and there are no configuration options for the buttons on the pen app in windows

[@wojtryb]

In the settings there is some checkbox with workaround for built-in stylus. You can also try changing between windows ink and wintab. But seriously, KA is a better place to ask

[@cayden4641]

@@wojtryb I did ask and got more people curious as to how it worked before than any answers, I don't know why it won't work because there was a similar thread and apparently out of no where OP's stylus started working properly so idk :/

[@wojtryb]

People need as much info as possible, to have a chance to find a solution. There is really no better place to search for technical help now.

Should I download Krita 5 if I'm already at the latest version of 4? is the upgrade wort it?

[@wojtryb]

Krita 4 is not considered the latest anymore :) There were a lot of major changes - I made a video about them a few months ago. If you're really unsure about it you can use portable .zip version, but all previous versions are still available for downgrade.

[@axelch.3280]

@@wojtryb I just installed Krita 5 a few hours ago, just looking at it it's so much better than 4 and I love the new features too, thanks for the video.

hey I upgraded from krita 5 beta to krita 5.0 but there is still a b on the icon is this normal

I believe it's your system not figuring out the icon changed. But if it's an oversight, I guess it will be fixed in 5.0.1 - I'm not sure it's worth reporting for now...

You can also use a trick with Subwindows (end of the video) if you like to navigate the reference separately.
