I've been using it for 2 years, originally had both krita and ps. Krita has everything, only caveat is it crashes sometimes depending on file size/your specs, but it saves back ups so it's not a huge issue.

Krita is better for both drawing and painting, it has a built in line stabilizer, perspective tools, pop-up palette, more brush customization and twice as many blending modes.
Photoshop is more reliable, which is just one point, but a major one.

Background saving and multithreading alone will speed up the painting process quite significantly.

Works just fine for me, it's just not exactly intuitive, so you gotta read the documentation. Also hit 'limit to layer bounds' otherwise the processing is slow as hell.

It's pretty damn sophisticated - it closes gaps in your lineart, takes antialising into account and then exports a group of layers organized by size, named (!!) and locked by transparency, all set up for rendering.

See pic related, I used the worst possible lineart as an example and it handled it pretty well.

[Anonymous No.3357997]

Kickstarter supporter reporting in

Yes I am enjoying it but I'll focus on the problems I've been having.

For some reason it stopped allowing me to right click "remove frames" in the file I'm working in (the bug started in 3.x) but I found out later if I click the button on the animation docker it work. No harm, no foul.

When I render animation it looks like frames are generated as files regardless of what setting you choose in the end (i.e. image sequence/video etc.?) and the files "disappear" later (!?). This caused a crash when I forgot to set the frame limit to a normal number, because it was generating these files to my desktop despite the video location settings defaulting to the folder where FFMPEG was.

ALSO I'm not sure how to set the maximum frame number. If it's really just dragging to the right and the frames are generated that's ok, however if you scroll back to the left they disappear (even if there's active frames) and it made copy-pasting over 100 frames at a time a problem. The timeline needs to be able to scroll freely while dragging frames and-just assuming I just haven't missed it-a means of just setting a max frame limit in an input box would be preferable. Currently if I put "500" in the "end" form it does extend the default timeline out a bit, but not the entire way.

Otherwise I'm very happy with how Krita has progressed. If it were more stable (it did crash once, the in-software playback is borked at times and I haven't tried it yet but I wouldn't be surprised if the in-software audio playback is screwed up still) it would probably be the best software for animation that currently exists for hand-drawn stuff.

It's not as feature-rich as ToonBoom but it also doesn't have a retarded timeline that randomly creates exposures for no goddamn reason or like photoshop/csp have the individual animation frames senselessly tied to individual drawing layers. It's got an almost perfect timeline so keep that shit up. Just need more stability

If you're an amateur (and you are) then Krita is the way to go for practicing animation concepts. While it has indisputably the most user-friendly timeline of all the animation softwares out there you still run the risk of it crashing so I don't know if it's ready for prime-time yet.

My favorite part about Krita 4.0 has to be the new brush editor. They completely revamped the brush editor as you can see in the first 20 seconds of this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-CY4hmkg_I

You guys remember how shit the brush editor menu used to be? Other than the live stroke preview, they've finally added a reset button to restore a brush present back to it's original state if you modified it. Also they made it very easy to create new brush present icons.

Now I actually feel comfortable creating new custom brushes or just doing things like adding a temporary texture to a brush I'm using.

Also the new brush set should be mentioned. Deevad helped completely revamped the Krita default brushes and now the default brushes aren't shit anymore. The new default brushes contain almost every type of brush an artist would want/need now.

If I was a new Krita user, I wouldn't feel like I would need to download any custom brushes.

The default brushes are a lot nicer that what other software ships with, but still not better than what you can get from hunting down custom brush sets.

Using Krita for almost a year, switched from Photoshop because got tired of windows.

Photoshop, being a tool for photo editing, was never specialized for artists. Krita got: 6 color selectors, stabilizer, assistants (Lazy Nezumi is better, but it also not free eh), organizing tools, multibrush (woahdude) and SUPERIOR brush engine variety. It is a lot more fun to draw in Krita.

But as of previous versions (barely tried 4.0 honestly), it was really slow with big documents and big brushes. Sometimes weird behavior managing color profiles. And it still got bugs. Advanced Color Selector is lier.

Overall, Krita is 10/10 for personal use. Probably better consider PS for proffessional work.

Mind elaborating? Krita is my primary animation software at the moment.

[Anonymous No.3364940]

I downloaded 4.0, and for some reason it still has the same problem which prevented me from using 3.x:

Pressing space (or a dedicated button set up on any wacom device) doesn't allow me to pan the drawing space, instead it switches to the pan tool, which I then can move the canvas with, and afterwards I have to press another button to switch back to brush mode - which is just plain retarded and horrible for the workflow.

Also the software still has weird language settings, it's a shitty mix of my system's default language and English, even though I selected English as the language Krita is supposed to be using.

And, worst of all: the UI doesn't scale correctly - on my main monitor it looks fine, but as soon as I move the window onto my wacom, it becomes a clusterfuck of horrible icon sizes and half-filled toolbars.

No wait, even worse than that: uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help to fix any of these problems, because they store the settings for it somewhere on the system, which doesn't go away once you uninstall. And I'm not talking about the appdata folders, those I also had to manually delete - no, there's some other hidden folder containing settings, which fucks up everything.

[Anonymous No.3365008]

That's pretty strange. What OS/tablet do you use? I can't speak for the second issue, but my spacebar lets me pan around the canvas without switching to the pan tool and the UI looks fine on my Huion.

The default engine brushes are more than twice as fast, so that amounts to something. My potato laptop got a breath of fresh air.
Large canvas sizes and tall layer stacks are still an issue tho.

One thing I like is that it's not actually "getting crammed with features", the development is more focused on working with what's already there and improving performance, which is the right strategy. I think Krita will only gain more following in the near future, maybe even at the expense of Photoshop and CSP.

[Anonymous No.3369370]

>>3369331
Drawing is based on line, to accommodate it, the software needs good stabilizers, brush density and a brush engine that simulates real ink. CSP is a good example.
Painting is based on blotches of color, for which you need good blending, smudging, texture and variety of interactive brushes that simulate watercolor, oil etc. Corel painter is the best at that.

Krita and Paintstorm are probably the two softwares that pay attention to both aspects.

You don't have to simulate paint, pal. It's a digital medium. In my experience, all complex simulation of brushes does for painting is make results less predictable. Photoshop's mostly no-frills brush engine is always completely consistent compared to stuff that tries to simulate real media, and that's the opposite of a bad thing because complex brush engines have never made getting the desired end result any easier.

There's enough features in the brush engine that you can customize brushes to unintentionally (or intentionally, because that's part of the appeal of digital anyway) create texture and it's straightforward enough that you can do it on the fly and make something practical out of it. The majority of real media simulating brush engines I've used, for all their cpu taxing complexity, just have brushes that blend and coalesce into a bog-standard "digital" look anyway and yes, that includes Krita.

In the industry, Photoshop is used in:
Digital painting, texture creation, 3D material pipelines, anything that involves photomanipulation, design, web design, graphic design (interfaces etc.), animation
Sketchbook pro/Krita/CSP/Procreate can be used in:
Uhh, painting? Animation sometimes?

All self-labeled "painting" software seems like a toy by comparison. It'll let you paint digitally in a slightly different way! Wow! What a feature! Sounds like something you'd only seriously buy into if you're struggling with digital painting. Being able to do one thing slightly differently, typically at the cost of less features and worse performance literally cutting down the quality of canvas you can work on/size of brush you can work with, doesn't seem appealing to me, but I've never had a problem figuring out regular digital painting. I've never heard anyone argue for a painting feature from any one of these packages that is actually necessary or useful enough to drop all the photomanipulation features and other toolkits from Photoshop, any time I hear about another software having something actually useful it's already in Photoshop, with the only exception being the recently added line stabilizer that I have very little use for anyway.

Anon, photoshop is a notorious laggy resource hog. You're right on features but that software performs abysmally, which is one of the main reasons I stopped using it.

Anyway, photoshop is great for tools, and since it's all in one place it makes sense it's industry standard. You can have a dozen people doing different jobs do it all competently in photoshop. The problem is the people who insist that a versatile, multi-purpose software is supposed to be unbeatable at every task (and /ic/ is FULL of these people). It's flexible, but there are better specialized softwares.

It can do everything you need it to, and yeah, if you're a decent artist you can make good art with virtually any tool, but the insistence of some people that photoshop is the be-all-end-all and completely shut their eyes to its many flaws are intolerable.

[Anonymous No.3372573]

>>3372544
Other software is consistently worse at scaling up on serious workstation systems in my experience. If I ran Krita and Photoshop CC 2018 on a cheap laptop with a 2k*2k canvas intending to work at canvas resolution Krita might run better, sure. If I did something at a higher resolution on my workstation intending to work at 50% zoom (which I do, because it's a pain to zoom into something to do detail and have to work with the individual pixels), other software runs into issues before Photoshop. Brushes typically start to lag at smaller sizes and the canvas size typically starts to cause issues sooner than it would in Photoshop.
That's my experience, but I've tried a lot of other software over the years.

I miss the refrerence image docker. Pureref is okay I guess but I feel like other doesn't integrate into my workflow as much as Krita's native ref docker.

Just wait till they recode it and make it better. Previous one sucked

I'm gonna wait for 4.1 because I miss my ref image dock
shitty chink tablet that works with Krita and Sai 2 in terms of pen pressure and sensitivity.
