Been with Krita since 2016. Scolding it, hating it, using it. But never even once considered getting back to Photoshop. I encourage every artist to participate in this community and back it with a buck - as much as you can. The guys are doing a great job.
Fr between having low end computers and krita back then being really slow, I’ve never lost hope for it even when I used other programs at the time. I’m so proud of the krita devs
finally, you can transform multiple layer without grouping, this is a big news. and also that you can select a specific layer below your mouse is a gamechanger, no more finding layer & folder one by one just to change one thing. this alone will makes the workflow so much faster. Respect for the hardworking Krita Developers. Krita 5.1 was amazing, and now with 5.2 it made Krita even better.
@@wojtryb yes, although Grouping method was not bad either after i get used to it, it made me more aware about the layer management and be more effective with it. something that i never managed to learnt in my photoshop days. i could understand why the dev use this "Grouping" method and now with this new addition, i think i can optimize my workflow even further. i'm so happy
As a android krita user its so goog to know that krita will come with ffmpeg embeded, currently theres no way to export mp4 directly from android. I was vibing so much when you showed the new improvements in text, can't wait to use this features in the future.
Yes, I believe, that you should finally be able to export videos on Android - I think that was the main goal behind this change. And yes - krita really deserves a proper text toll, so let's hope everything goes fine there :)
I wanted to animate in Krita cuz I'm already used to it but since the audio is so painstakingly irritating when I couldn't animate a lip sync I gave up and never tried it anymore.. this is a huge change for me !!! thank you Krita!!!!!
This huge bro. Can't wait for able to write text in canvas directly. But yeah, I reaaally wish there will be a big improvement for UIUX. Seem a lil bit confusing and you know the positioning, padding, and grouping still off sometimes.
Wow, I am very excited. Although it is mostly quality of life updates, they are very welcome and bring a stronger foundation for more complex tools in the future. Good work.
those features on the layer dockers and the new way to transfrom multiple layers may seem small, but it is actually huge! especially the crop of the layer thumbnail, and the display of the layer effect. Not to mention the option to select layers bellow the mouse, again this seems small feature and not very shiny but its just GODSENT and something that will be used all the damn time as a workflow.
Idk if I'm just not checking, but they should have someone to communicate what they're working on more, even just a little. Their plans or anything they can. It'll help keep confidence in the Krita. I'm even more invested than the average person, and I'm still worried sometimes if Krita will stop updating because lack of developers. I love Krita though and know all of its potential. I compare it to Blender just for possible logistics. I love your art btw. I'd looooove more tutorials. Even a live painting session. Or even speedpaintings! 🥰 Thank you for everything you do too, btw
Yes, there is not that much official communication - the entire team is just developers, and there are not that many people who would like to be a spokesperson I believe. And that's not what the team can really afford. I'm glad you like my art :)
Krita's text tool is most trash feature ever, even the paint can do better job than krita. How on earth basic feature blows so hard? Instead writing directly into canvas it opens some weird tab only then it is possible to type something in. So complicated.
I like the changes they make... but I feel that every time they saturate more and more the program, specially the interface, making it look more saturated and in my opinion... it looks horrible. I know it is very linked to the philosophy of kde, but I feel that the program would be better if it was more minimalist in terms of their interfaces, something like gnome for example: simple, direct, without to much information or unnecesary things. just open the program and start drawing directly instead of having to first re-arrange everything so that it is not so intrusive in your workspace or figure out what everything is for. I feel that this has also influenced the program to this day is not as used as for example paint tool sai or CSP.
In this release the only change to the interface visible by default are the checkboxes, that can be switched off in seconds. More hidden things like dockers were in fact simplified a quite a lot. In the past years krita only became easier to navigate in canvas-only mode and there was some work that made the interface slightly more modern.
You guys need to understand that I've been waiting for these changes for so long and I love the hard work you guys do. Can't wait for the full release!
This video was very helpful and concise, thank you for explaining what will be possible in the future with those background upgrades. I'm looking forward to new text upgrades, and less struggling to install external dependencies is always a win. This is all so exciting and inspiring!
It's great you liked that part - it's hard to give it justice, and explain those technical things in an understandable way. Especially as it's easy to make it feel boring, compared to all the new features.
HELP in my MacBook Air there is no file or edit just save as what my animation is called how do I fix it mines is version 1.1.5 I need this animation when I use FFmpeg it just shows up code what should I do?
It's a bit tricky work, as most of it won't really be visible to the user. But it's great that krita is getting more modern, and it's gonna pay off in the future.
Strangely enough; The feature I'm most excited about is the brush setting availability in python; sounds like finally we will be able to scripts shortcuts for brush hardness and brush tip angle? 🎉
Sadly it's not something which is coming in 5.2, but I believe that someone will expose those to Python in 5.3. The moment that happens, I'm updating my Shortcut Composer plugin :)
That is certainly something to look forward to; and hey! Considering that as photoshop users we've been waiting decades for feature implementations such as "invert pressure sensitivity curves for tablet inputs" A couple of development cycles doesn't sound bad at all! @@wojtryb
The rewrite was not only to get the syncing right - for example, by using new tools krita devs are no longer limited to just one audio path. I believe it can lead to some basic editing and other improvements. More info: invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/1323
Was excited for a sec for the color selector portion, but oh well. I just hope we'll have a normal triangular color selector at some point (with darks on the bottom, lights on top and saturation to the right side). Or have someone's plugin that already does that as part of the core release (as the plugin's installment process is convoluted).
There are already quite a few selector shapes to choose from. You can always request a new shape or other improvements, but the team is small, and things like that are not requested by the majority of people, so it may take ages, or never happen - you don't know unless you try though
@@wojtryb Yeah, but that's kinda the problem. As I looked through the forum there were several people that talked about it and at the time the devs didn't know how to implement triangles right or something, and as the time went buy someone made a plugin so the right triangle is even lower on the priority list, because you can now just be sent to install the plugin. Kinda similar with the Eraser functionality - yeah, it might be not perfect, but there's a plugin/script for that, and so on. Understandable ofc, as this is a free open source program, but the whole script managing plugin installing thing is a bit convoluted for regular people and I just hope some of that funcionality eventually makes it into the core so there's no fiddling and it just works. I'll make another thread in the feature request category tho.
Actually, that diamond shape in the new wide gamut color selector has the right arrangement and might prove more useful that the triangle (as it has more space for color picking), will need to test it out! And after looking more on the forums, the person working on the docker said they will add the regular triangle later on as well. So all good!
hello! so i download krita 5.2.0 beta it's fantastic! thanks to all team hard work! but i found a problem, my custom brush have sharpness on check, and its stay sharp even though i change the strength to 0 and soften edge to 100. so.. any advice? it's kinda lame to back to previous version
Brushes changing behaviour between versions is never intended. You can write about it on KA: krita-artists.org/t/first-beta-for-krita-5-2-0-released-please-help-by-testing-and-reporting-bugs/71139?u=wojtryb to make sure this is fixed before stable 5.2 release
Looking good! I do wonder though, would you (or anybody, really) happen to know if the 'Colorize Lineart [Propagation]' feature in the G'MIC-Qt filter menu is getting a fix? It hasn't functioned at all since 5.0
Big fan of your Shortcut Composer. Will it work with this new beta? If not I'm going to wait until you can update it :) Thank you for making this tool.
It should, but I can't guarantee it - I haven't tested 5.2beta that much. I'll probably be doing some testing later, when the betas will get closer to the stable release.
I would totally love to make Krita my default painting software, unfortunately I really can't stand how ugly the UI is. Very unprofessional. As a person that is into art and stuff you can imagine how important looks are to me. Functionality is not everything.

Let's hope Krita becomes what Blender is in 3D!
They need to improve de UI
@@HevonCZR Imagine if Krita is using Blender UI. That would be so much better!
@@amigaworkbench720 They could really improve the UI, maybe cooperate with the UI designers at Blender Foundation hehe
So grateful to the devs. Artists today are so lucky, back in my day if we wanted something like this, we had to pay 500 dollars for painter.
Magic of open-source. All past and future versions are guaranteed to be legally available for free!
This looks pretty promising! Love all the hard work these guys do!
Yup, lots of work from everyone involved!
TRANSFORM MULTIPLE LAYERS YES THANK YOU

The text update is huge, probably the only thing that kept me from uninstalling Adobe Photoshop.
This huge bro. Can't wait for able to write text in canvas directly. But yeah, I reaaally wish there will be a big improvement for UIUX. Seem a lil bit confusing and you know the positioning, padding, and grouping still off sometimes.
Being able to select from the layers that are below the cursor 🤩 absolutely genius!!
POR FIN SELECCIÓN MULTIPLE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
GRACIAS POR TODOOOOOOOOOO 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

wow, truly Krita 5.1.5 was an LTS release, it was good. I had some issues, probably because of Wayland, but I'm happy that Krita is getting stronger.
Thank you wojtryb and krita team!! You guys are doing amazing work!! krita 5.2 - 5.3 is going to be epic!!

Thank you, Krita devs!
We're all happy it's finally there :)
Could you do tutorial about animation in Krita ?
I'm not really into animation and never really used krita animation features.
I am excited for this, great job all of you!
Awesome!
Krita is so great, kudos to all devs!
HELP in my MacBook Air there is no file or edit just save as what my animation is called
how do I fix it mines is version 1.1.5 I need this animation
when I use FFmpeg it just shows up code what should I do?
I reaaally hope the next update makes the Overview update fasterr
Hey, glad you made it to the beta.
Could you tell me what brush is used in the video?
Check out my free "won't teach you to draw" brushpack
Looking forward to the improvements on the text tool. Currently it is very frustrating to use.
Holy, selection multiple layers! That's the only thing i was waiting
Is TEXT editing on canvas planned for 5.3 or was that a cruel Joke?
Thank you for making this video. Great job!
You're welcome!
The FFMPEG is what I've been waiting for! Thank you so much, Krita team! Hopefully it'll be implemented in android also.
As far as I know, to have that in Android was the main goal here - as that's the only place you couldn't really install it yourself
I'm having issue with the colour fill tool as it does not stay within the line art and covers everything under the layer.
Wow the devs have been doing a lot, thank you for the summary!
It's a bit tricky work, as most of it won't really be visible to the user.
But it's great that krita is getting more modern, and it's gonna pay off in the future.
Great job, the Krita developers!
i wish krita would add bone animation

Just want to know it hasn’t updated yet for me.
It's a beta for testing, not a stable release.
Releases do not update automatically unless you bought krita from an online store like steam.
Thank you!
Kde really pushing the standardisation of the Linux desktop and I like it
Yup, also happy to see all those cool Linux stuff that's happening recently
is the ffmpeg feature applied on krita's android version?😭
I'm not 100% sure, but reading the release notes - I think it is

Fantastic content Wojtek! 🤩 Great and informing, the quality of your videos inspire me!
I'm glad - I really do my best ;)
Very exciting :D
I wish there's a way to make pop up color palette size even bigger and make it stop rotating when selecting colors....
It is configurable, but you can use "show color selector" if you need full control over selector looks.
Super Cool!

In theory it shouldn't need any maintenance before krita 6.0, but you never know.
I also confirm that everything's fine under 5.2.
I think this is smart polishing. "Minor" things for very used tasks 🥰. Thanks for the video
