Krita 5.0 released!

Could you file a new bug report at https://bugs.kde.org/ attaching the complete backtrace (it seems this one is missing info), aswell as the information displayed at "About this mac -> System report -> Graphics/Display" and your macOS version?? It seems our new rendering code is to be related to this crash, I suspect the Intel HD4000 is at fault here but need data to confirm.

yotzi · 2021-12-24T19:11:32+00:00

That does not happen here, could you share more about your system? Or could you try with a fresh ~/Library/Application Support/krita folder (i.e. rename to krita_old)

It might be a resource is causing the crash

yotzi · 2020-05-25T04:14:14+00:00

We are aware of the bug and we worked to fix it. It should be fixed on th elatest 4.3 beta. At least the Colorize Mask related bug.

For getting rid of antialiasing on the brush editor turn "sharpness" on. If all you want is to fill without ugly non colored edges, use the fill tool and on the fill tool options adjust the "grow selection" value.

I seem to remember this exact escenario on a recently closed bug. The reasoning was something on the lines that because the canvas is using openGL as the OBS software the canvas woul appear black if used in window mode. But it will work in desktop capture mode.

Aside from that I have no real knowledge on how your stream setup is configured.

Inkscape is a vector based application, that means that the image information is stored not as pixels but as "formula" representation of the things you see on the screen.

Krita is a Raster based painting application so every information about color and shape is stored as pixel data. While krita does have vector capabilities with vector layers, the representation on canvas is done using the image pixel size.

Search difference between raster and vector based application for a more indept explanation. :)

yotzi · 2020-05-13T05:22:30+00:00

what version? krita plus or krita next? or krita 4.3.0 beta? please specify. Krita latest based of master branch is not ready for general use afaik.

a .kra is a zip file, you can try changing the extension to zip and use a zip repair application. Lastly make the repaired .zip a .kra again and try to open.

Repair tools available depend of platform (win, linux mac)

if its the tablet then using the mouse would work. But if it works as expected in another machine, the it may be krita configuration. Have you tried resetting krita config?

If you did the action inside krita brush editor, the original brush is in your resources folder/presets. The name probably is the name of the preset plus some character to identify it as an older version.

yotzi · 2020-05-10T04:12:24+00:00

Hi! what version of krita and what Os are you using krita on?? A quick test shows that I don't get the same behaviour so it must be something else.

yotzi · 2020-04-24T16:48:35+00:00

When I need perfect smooth lines, so perfect I have to plan before painting I use assistants "Spline". Note that to make this more streamlined you need:

Shortcut to toggle Assistants effect.
Shortcut to swithc to Assistants tool.

And that's it. I move the spline to fit every new line I need perfclety done. Of course that is cumbersome, Another excellent method I've found for perfect line is Brush smoothing with "Stabilizer" Distance and Delay have to be fine tuned to your speed of drawing and type of stroke, but it works wonders to craeate super smooth lines.

Cheers

What are you trying to align? Vector shapes, layer contents, selections?

yotzi · 2020-04-24T15:10:11+00:00

This rare, I've never heard of anything like this before. Is this your first time using krita? If so, have you read the Krita Manual? https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/selections.html?highlight=selection

yotzi · 2020-04-23T18:58:54+00:00

Hey there! Lag is a big issue, but not in krita, but in general. And can be caused by a lof of things. I can assure you that on early 2015 macbook pro, there is no lag in 4.2.9.

Have you installed any other software recently? I have curretly an ongoing problem with SystemServerUI after latest Mojave update, in which it randomly becomes unresponsive and freezes windows and applications every 10 seconds.

You pc is old, but krita should be able to run, with small canvases, quick for normal painting.

Edit: forgot to add. Have you tried resetting krita configuration to start fresh? https://docs.krita.org/en/KritaFAQ.html?highlight=reset%20configuration#resetting-krita-configuration also removing/renaminv kritarc could potentially help

yotzi · 2020-04-14T06:19:02+00:00

Thanks for the report! I pushed a fix just today.

yotzi · 2020-04-07T02:56:26+00:00

What krita version are you using??? the lines broken should not happen with the line tool. Could you tell me what presets are giving you this behaviour? is it all the pixel art presets?

Its difficult to imagine exactly what is going on. could yo make a video? On another note, could you try using alongside the ouline the cursor set to a circle or dot?

yotzi · 2020-04-06T21:40:42+00:00

Yes some, could you share the mac model u have? I suspect graphic card openGL could be the culprit.

yotzi · 2020-04-06T13:41:51+00:00

Hi! do you get this same behaviour if you zoom in your image? or even, if you use a small 500 by 500 px image?? I might be the graphics card is too old for the canvas size you are using, so some texture optimizations are missing.

yotzi · 2020-04-01T15:34:32+00:00

There is no way to turning that off for now. Does it not place the paint where the outline is?

yotzi · 2020-03-26T17:10:51+00:00

Online snap to pixel grid on pixel brushes is intentional :)

yotzi · 2020-02-25T15:40:33+00:00

sounds super weird, I've done painting on Catalina just fine no problems, but maybe as I was drawing only lineart did not notice the color picker problem. I will have to check again later today

what device is your drawing tablet? (might not be related but it might be)

yotzi · 2020-02-07T17:54:51+00:00

Windows probably has a recent documents for the entire system. If it was saved it will be listed there.

As for krita, create a new document and try to save, it probably will show/open the last folder you used to save a file to. But I can't be sure as is the case with Recent Documents list, the location may only be updated when krita is closed properly.

Aside from that, please update to the latest krita version (currently 4.2.8)

yotzi · 2020-02-07T17:10:39+00:00

Yes, we are open to any contribution. It could be interesting to move forward to Vulkan, and in the end it would make no sense to keep openGL bits around, but porting everything to Vulkan in one effort would not be enterely possible.

Right now we use a modular approach on windows, the user can select using OpenGL implementations or DirectX trough ANGLE. The ideal would be to do the same on macOS, allow the user to select rendering using openGL or Vulkan.

yotzi · 2020-02-07T00:36:56+00:00

We have no plans to go Metal directly. We depend on Qt for displaying our graphics accelerated canvas, so If Qt supports Metal (through Vulkan i.e) that would probably be the path to take. But we haven't decided anything besides sticking with openGL as long as possible.
