I tought Krita was open source and FREE, why is it that you have to pay for it at windows store?

When a piece of software is open source it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is free as in gratis. Open source means once you have acquired said software(either freely or by paying for it) you have the right to ask for the source code and modify the code should you wish to.

You are charged a fee for Krita if you get it from the Windows store, that fee is kind of like a donation. So if you want to download and donate then you do that, if you don’t have money to do that then you just download from krita.org.

Thanks for getting back.

I would assume the multi-threading only happens on actual strokes, which is totally fine. I’m not meaning to sound like I expect 144Hz while painting my strokes - this is happening while only hovering the cursor around without actually doing anything, within the canvas region.

It only happens whenever a tool or brush uses an outline. If I set it to No Outline in settings and substitute with a Cursor Shape instead, the movement is as fluid as my refresh rate.

Enabling debug tells me that canvas FPS peaks at 105 during movement, but I can tell it’s nowhere close to that.

Edit: Maybe I’m just being spoiled. It’s not like it hurts my workflow. I tried searching around about this, but I’m guessing most people already work on 60Hz monitors so they don’t notice any difference.

I saw the same thing and was disappointed until I noticed that turning the outline off improved the cursor FPS. The brushes still feel a bit laggy compared to paintstorm which is super smooth in comparison.

Why can’t I zoom in/out when I press Ctrl and pen’s lower left button in Windows?
It’s okay in Linux.

I’m also having same problem. I thought that’s my new tablet problem. If you change the window ink to wintab option in settings. It’s works sometimes and sometimes it didn’t. It’s very important handy features to manipulate things.

Make sure you have the lower-left button set to ‘middle mouse click’, because the zoom function is ctrl+middle mouse click. Other than that, I don’t know.

And we’ve got 4.0.1 out, with over fifty bug fixes. All the details are in the announcement: https://krita.org/en/item/krita-4-0-1-released/

Just curious does anyone have a pencil brush that is a bit different to the built in one. working on an A4 300dpi sized drawing the default pencil just feels like a hard round brush to me with no texture to it.

I am moving working between Clip Paint and Krita and in Clip Paint I get some nice grain and texture to my pencil.

Performance ! Yay ! I must say even on my old-ish laptop 4.0.1 is almost never sluggish, but it’s always welcome. Congrats and good luck for mentoring & reviewing.

The second bugfix release is out:

We’re preparing another one for coming wednesday, because two crashes snuck in

ouraf · May 11, 2018, 6:01pm

tangential question but does anyone knows a good krita course?

boudewijnrempt · May 12, 2018, 1:45pm

The Muses DVD by Ramon Miranda is a bit old, but good when it comes to the basics of digital painting. The Secrets of Krita DVD by Timothee Giet is pretty good when it comes to learning about Krita specifically.

boudewijnrempt · May 12, 2018, 1:45pm

I’ve just jumped the gun and already released 4.0.3 with the copy/paste fix: https://krita.org/en/item/krita-4-0-3-released/

Any idea when you will be removing the remaining icon placeholders from the toolbox toolbars? Seems no one has noticed…

Therahedwig · May 14, 2018, 3:20pm

Icon placeholders?
