Yesterday, Krita 4.1.3 was released with several improvements in the Instant Preview mode, bezier curve tools, and Comics Project manager, along with many bug fixes. Krita is a free and open source raster graphics editor, designed mainly for digital painting and animation purposes.
A new feature has been added for round corners for the rectangle tool. Whether you’re working on a pixel or a vector layer, you can set round corners for the resulting shape. In the previous versions, you could, of course, already round vector rectangles by editing the shape, but this tool makes it easier.
This version comes with a new welcome screen, which provides some handy links, a list of recently used files, a link to create or open a file, and a hint that you can also drag and drop images in the empty window to open them.
Instant Preview works by computing a scaled-down version of the image and displaying that. In the previous versions, with some brushes, this mode would cause a little delay at the end of a stroke, or some flickering on the canvas. This is fixed in Krate 4.1.3 to give users a smoother painting experience.
Krita’s selections can be referred to as vectors or as a pixel mask. If you’re working on a vector selection, using the figure tools such as rectangle or ellipse will now add a vector to the selection, instead of rasterizing the vector selection.
The bezier curve tools now comes with an auto-smoothing option. If you select auto-smoothing, the created curve will be not a polygon, but a smooth curve with the type of all the points set to “smooth”.
The Comics Project manager, a Python plugin has seen a ton of improvements, especially when it comes to generating standard-compliant epub and acbf files. Some these improvements are:
