If you have gotten used to a different program, it takes time to learn a new program.

I tried it out coming from CSP after seeing anons shill it here but yeah, very irritating program. Feels like the devs are being different for the sake of being different, or at least pigheadedly insular, refusing to see how "it's done" where it counts.
Then I just went back to SAI and realized that's all I ever wanted. Just a program that lets me paint without having to fight it.

In terms of quickness and ease of use - nothing compares to krita. You guys are probably retarded and lack the mental capacity to use hotkeys and the pop up palette. There is no comparison.

I really don't get the hate.
I don't claim to be a software guru of any kind, but I've used Photoshop, paint tool SAI, Gimp, and Krita in a decent capacity and the only one I'd say is "painful to use" is Gimp.

Anon03/24/26, 21:39No.7904780
Literally all it needs is a default eraser shortcut/tool instead of this gay niggery, but otherwise it's fine. CSP lets you put whatever the fuck you want as a tab under any tool which is nice, they should copy that but also let you assign the same subtool under multiple tools.

The funny thing is, I use that eraser-inversion thing in CSP, but I still remember being annoyed at Krita having it by default, because sometimes I do want a normal-ass eraser. It's a single shortcut to enable it in CSP on any brush of your choice.
I don't feel that strongly about that particular issue in a sense, but I think it reflects a deeper problem that the program is intuitive among a class or programs that are already unintuitive, and bloated.
For example, why is it this complicated to make a clipping layer in Krita? Why isn't it a single icon click like in virtually every other painting app I've tried?
I had to look this shit up to even find out how to do it. Crazy.

wow that was so hard maybe the problem was between the chair and computer all along.I've been using krita for like 10 years now. I've tried every other program. Photoshop, clip studio, paint tool sai, GIMP, even some poojeet android slop like medibang. nothing compares to how fast you can do everything in krita. posting my work to prove im not just a bot like all these other posts berating krita are.

all digital programs are. With pencil you have 100% control over where the line goes and how it looks, you just have to master your own hand. On digital you're sending pings through the computer that approximate lines for you with extremely precision. If you microtwice your hand while drawing with pencil, the line hardly moves. On digital it jerks all over the place and WIDLY changes in thickness. And I didn't even talk about the glass screen that slips the nub all over the place.

works fine for me. the only thing really tedious about krita is rearranging brush/grid settings and hotkeys for pixel art, which takes a quick google.i guess the vector text font is annoying. krita was pretty easy for me to pick up though i mostly just use it for pixel art and cropping/resizing/editing existing art pieces to make wallpapers for my phone and PC.here's my current WIP with a ship i've made entirely in krita. i recently finished labeling and drawing mechanical details for decks 1 and 2.

FYI as of 5.3 there are two separate keybinds for the brush and eraser mode (normally activated when you flip your stylus) which remember which brush you used for each mode. So you can arrange that you have separate keybinds for a brush preset and an eraser preset without any plugins. Just keep in mind the eraser mode isn't locked to purely erasers.

Funny that OBS keeps getting brought up, because these threads feel exactly the same as the early OBS issue complaints from XSplit shills.

The only people who ever recommended Krita to me were my two friends who don't draw at all and basically only shilled it because it was free and open source. My one friend who draws uses CSP; personally I like to alternate between SAI and CSP (only for the brushes) I don't think Krita is bad but it makes lots of particular decisions that push away people who are long time artists, I guess it's better than Medibang/Firealpaca + it's way less confusing and bloated than photoshop but there's no incentive to switch if you're already used to either SAI or CSP

its already a feature. you just need to bind it. it swaps between your current brush and whatever eraser brush you chose. you can also swap between two brushes.

the other half of points are just flatout lies about it lacking some feature that it absolutely has, or saying the UI's the worst dogshit ever devised when it's the same as every other program out there.

I personally don't mind krita, I realize it's not the best but it's pretty decent for something you don't need to pay for. It definitely has some quirks but I found it capable enough to do mostly what I need it to do.
I do wish it had better animation capabilities though. I've tried opentoonz but drawing on it just feels awful and I'm not sure how to make it better.

FOSS friends, please understand that although you are correct that the solutions and technical workarounds are simple enough to acclimate to, it is a terrible first time experience for someone coming from Photoshop/CSP. The expectation that Krita is analogous to the other titans of the industry and should work the same out of the box is what harms Krita's adoption.Plenty of people are willing to learn the language of something like Procreate, which is completely alien in comparison, because there is no expectation it should work the same. Krita is straddling a hard line here.

There's the pros that use PS and CSP, there's also the people that still use Paint Tool SAI and the poorfags that draw on phone with their fingers using jeet apps infested with ads. No matter the supossed quality of a program, anybody competent just draws with whatever they can get used to. Tools doesn't make the artist. Fuck off
