Matt mentions making selections with the pen tool, which you don’t have, but in the case given what you’d probably really do is start with a rough selection done with the magic wand tool and then make it into a mask, then paint the mask. To create a basic mask directly from selection: right click on the layer you want masked, click “transparency mask”.Īs with photoshop, groups can have transparency masks applied to them. This is actually why I’m doing this one– I have seen evidence that people believe Krita doesn’t have appropriate features for this, but it does! All of them are listed by name under Settings -> Dockers.īrush Packs: Brush packs are definitely NOT compatible across tools! This is a bummer but as Matt would tell you, simple brushes are where you should spend most of your time anyway! There’s a bunch of handy windows that can seem to “disappear” if you close them.
If you want to watch a video about getting started, you should look here:

If you want to read how to get started, you should look at the manual: Krita and other free software tends to get stolen in much the same way people get their art stolen, except art thieves don’t usually give you viruses >8C STEP ZERO: Do not get Krita anywhere but.
If you use Krita (or if you’re beginning to suspect your new tablet will be useless without expensive software to back it up), there are some definite holes in Ctrl-Paint that will have to be painted over with lots of experimenting OR, you could read this and mostly be able to follow along without having to resort to voodoo.
And also because I don’t use Photoshop anymore ever. So I’m doing this because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE CTRL-PAINT, IT IS THE GREATEST THING. (Also maybe: reference for developers looking to provide workflow enhancements?)
