Krita

[CalieVee]

This piece of software is going to give GIMP and especially Photoshop a run for their money. It can share the plugins and brushes used in Photoshop, you can use a mouse or a tablet with pen, it's a favorite among 2D animators and there are a ton of video's on how to use it on youtube. It's my new toy and I am going to have fun learning how to use it.

Ok found some tutorials, mostly current. Before anyone gets the wrong idea, you do not need a tablet and pen for this software. True you can't do certain things without one, yet there is still lots of other things you can do.

From the creators how to use Krita

This guy has lots of video's including using Krita with Linux

Oups, Milos was talking of that on one of his works in the gallery. I found I had the link toward Krita in my url history - I think I passed by this topic but forgot to leave a word

I will have to watch it, soon hopefully. I need to learn it as well as Gimp as I need to develop my skills with this two tools...
Here is how I found about Krita, this is very cool standalone comic page template maker, that You can download and save in Krita format then open it with Krita and make comics. https://moritzmolch.com/apps/comiccreator/index.html
Only problem when importing color pictures is that You need to change color which is done in the upper bar. Need to restart computer then I will post picture...

Ok here is screenshot, first click Tools, then first option Scripts then color change and then change colour into I think RGB or something else but it works and turns copy/pasted picture form greyscale to clolor...

Thanks Milos, any help you give with this program is appreciated. What I am trying to find info about right now is if procreate brushes can be used in Krita, or if they have to be converted to photoshop first or just straight conversion to Krita, maybe GIMP can be used....etc...lol I have many more questions if you want me to give a list....lol

Saw your link over on Jay's Discord.. I really need to spend more time here at FA! I'll have to look into this, and maybe put it on my second laptop. I already have PS activated on 2 machines. This could be a big help for some of the millions of things I'm working on right now for the TNA story.


Hope Jay gets his technical issues sorted soon - really miss his streams!
