For images in 16 and 32 bit, the gradients Krita generates will now be able to use the full scale available. Wide gamut and unbounded gradients ( MR 668, MR 675).īut not only the 8 bit images got love.
There was a Libre Graphics Meeting talk discussing the technical details. This way, even 8 bit images which don’t always have enough colors to trick the human eye that something is smooth, can have the illusion of smoothness in these gradients. We have implemented dithering for gradients in 8 bit images, which involves using a blue noise pattern to create a little bit of offset in the boundary between colors. However, if you used subtle gradients, you would sometimes see banding, caused by there being too few colors available in 8 bit images for a smooth gradient. Gradients are an excellent way to quickly setup the main color swatches of your image, for example, a quick linear gradient for the horizon, or several radial gradients for light sources.
There’s no limit to the Krita we can build together, but we just can’t do it without you–it’s as simple as that! So, if you can afford to chip in, please consider stepping up to become a member of the Krita Development Fund, join the discussion and get involved. Thanks to our many contributors over the years Krita has come a long way from its humble beginnings and we don’t take that for granted, but in order for us to realize our goal of funding 10 full-time developers to bring Krita to the next level, we seriously need your help. The Krita community is the lifeblood of the project, and without ongoing support from members like you progress would grind to a screeching halt. What a concept, eh? But here’s the rub: our grassroots development model means, well… grassroots funding. Moreover, we all believe that artists should own and control their tools, and that digital art should be just as accessible as putting a pencil to paper. Krita is made by a global team of programmers and artists, some working professionally and others passionately contributing their talents when they can, with the shared mission of creating a powerful and expressive tool for artists everywhere. One of the main things that makes Krita stand out from its rivals is its non-profit, open source and community-driven development model. Hey, wait! Don’t skip this part… Krita really needs your support!
And of course, there’s a ton of cool new features that we can’t wait for our community of artists to start working with, but before we dig into the details… It has certainly been a long time coming and a lot of hard work, but Krita 5 is here at last! I can say with a measure of pride (and a whole helping of relief for the development team) that 5.0 is up there among the largest and most significant updates that Krita has ever seen, affecting and improving almost every aspect of the program in a variety of ways, big and small. However, opening files created with earlier versions of Krita may require changing a setting to get the originally expected text size. Krita 5.0 fixed an issue with text size in documents.Krita 4 and earlier cannot use brush presets created in Krita 5. Krita 5.0 has an updated brush preset file format (.kpp).Krita 5.0 cannot load vector layers created before Krita 3.0 and has a completely reworked resource system. Krita 5.0 is a major release of Krita.Note on File Compatibility with Krita 4.x and Krita 3.x files:
