Krita free painter effect program for windows and linux

Since I have been playing with Linux, I discover this program and was surprise that it works in both OS
It has a great brush adjustment tools. Morphing brush, and right click color wheel and brush set.
Tons of video tutorial. Its also in raster and vector drawing setting.

Hi.
Nice looking program :) but I don't see any vector formats supported? What am I missing?
.kra, OpenRaster document, PSD image, PPM, PGM, PBM, PNG, JPEG-2000, JPEG, BMP Windows, XBM, TIFF, EXR, PDF.
Hav'nt used the program but can you draw in Vector but not export the results in vector?

You can draw in vector, but you have to go to the bottom right side and open new vector layer. There is a little box with a plus sign in it and a drop down menu on the arrow pointing down, inside the layer menu.
Then go to the tools on the left side and click on draw freehand path icon.
Click on the Shape Handling icon then select your line that you made with the Freehand Path tool, and the vector point will show up that can be altered if you wish.
It does not export to adobe vector layer, and only export to Krita layer if you wish to preserve the vector info, otherwise it all export to raster final drawing.

It looks like something worth checking out. It looks like it's more of a graphics program than I'd get used to since I'm no artist and am not all that great at painting or drawing with the mouse. But hopefully this will prove me wrong! Thanks for sharing!

the warp and morph feature blows my mind, and its fast response time as well!

This is exactly what Manga Studio does also. You can work with vector but it only exports as raster.

What would be nice is to have the warp mesh that Krita has for Manga Studio, and be able to distort all the selected layers at the same time.

The new version is officially out! New features here:

Truly impressive, and as far as digital painting and drawing goes, much of an improvement over Photoshop.

A new version 2.9.4 is out with the eagerly awaited layer styles!!!

Also, the goals for the next major version have been set:
- "faster than Photoshop" painting with brushes the size of thousands of pixels on canvases dimensioned at 8k and beyond;
- and another big one: ANIMATION support!

This last one should be of tremendous interest to everyone here. Full bitmap painting tools with animation. I cannot wait.

Download the newest version here:

Krita is looking more and more amazing each year. I really want to see how the animation feature works.
