![]() Kiki has been used for Krita's merchandise shop items and Krita's Steam project artworks. So far, each new version of Krita has come with a new version of Kiki. Kiki has been used as Krita's startup splash screen since Krita version 2.8. The first version of Kiki was posted to the KDE forum in 2012 and was used in Krita version 2.6's introduction booklet. The community collectively decided the mascot to be a squirrel. Krita's mascot is Kiki the Cyber Squirrel, a robotic, anthropomorphic squirrel character created by Tyson Tan. Krita's Steam box art in 2014, featuring Kiki ODG draw, Krita Flipbook, Adobe DNG, Camera RAW, JPEG-2000, PDF, SVG, XML, XCF Krita Document, OpenRaster document, PSD image, PPM, PGM, PBM, PNG, GIF, JPEG, JPEG XL, Windows BMP, XBM, XPM, TIFF, EXR, PDF, Gimp image, WebP, SCML, ICO, TGA, CSV, QML It can also save to many other file formats including PSD. Krita's native document format is Krita Document (.kra). It has real-time filter preview support.įilters included in a default installation: levels, colour adjustment curves, brightness/contrast curve, desaturate, invert, auto contrast, HSV adjustment, pixelise, raindrops, oil paint, gaussian blur, motion blur, blur, lens blur, colour to alpha, color transfer, minimise channel, maximise channel, top/left/bottom/right edge detection, sobel, sharpen, mean removal, unsharp mask, gaussian noise removal, wavelet noise reducer, emboss horizontal only/in all directions/(laplacian)/vertical only/with variable depth/horizontal and vertical, small tiles, round corners, phong bumpmap. Krita has a collection of built-in filters and supports G'MIC filters. ![]() On May 23, 2020, the beta version of Krita was released for Android and ChromeOS. ![]() īrushes, Gradients and Pallets get revamped, animation system improvements, screen recorder. īetter text tools and vector art capability, python scripting support, etc. īetter performance, animation support, layer, workflow, transform, filter, brush, etc. Timeįaster Development, better PSD support, layers, masks, brush, resource manager, display, etc. Kickstarter campaigns have been used to crowdfund Krita's development since 2014. It collaborated with Intel to create Krita Sketch as a marketing campaign and Krita Studio with KO GmbH as a commercially supported version for movie and VFX studios. The Krita Foundation was created in 2013 to provide support for Krita's development. As a result, the development gained speed and resulted in better performance and stability. Also from that point, the project began to experiment with various ways of funding its development, including Google Summer of Code and funded jobs for students. Ī change of direction happened to the project in 2009, with a new goal of becoming digital painting software like Corel Painter and SAI. In years between 20, Krita was developed as a generic image manipulation software like Photoshop and GIMP. The first public version of Krita was released with KOffice 1.4 in 2004. To avoid existing trademarks on the market, the project underwent numerous name changes: KImageShop, Krayon, until it was finally settled with "Krita" in 2002. In 1999, Matthias Elter proposed the idea of building the software using CORBA around ImageMagick. The idea of building a Qt-based image editor was later passed to KImage, maintained by Michael Koch, as a part of KOffice suite. However,now that Krita is also providing Vector graphics support, there may be a chance that some time in the future ,shape and position interpolation may become a reality.Early development of the project can be tracked back to 1998 when Matthias Ettrich, founder of KDE, showcased a Qt GUI hack for GIMP at Linux Kongress. Krita only provides the ability to interpolate the opacity of the layer as seen here However,as Krita is a raster application ,the outline values are just color values stored in individual pixels and the most one can do to these values is to change it's color or opacity and therefore no shape or position interpolation is available in Krita. This is achieved in vector drawing programs like Animate and ToonBoom by employing mathematical formula's which define the outline of the object and then the change in the position or shape is interpolated by determining the change in these outline values and then interpolating the inbetween values. ![]() Inorder to implement interpolation, a sample of outline points (which are used to encapsulate an animatable object ) need to be identified by the underlying software and then math operations need to performed, based on the start and end location of the individual points of this object's outine. Krita is a raster drawing program in which drawings (used in animations) are rendered on the canvas by reproducing the stored color values in the underlying individual pixels.
