There's a monthly drawing challenge on krita forums guys. Not many people contribute there so how about we help them out and contribute?

Krita is an awesome piece of software and I think a couple contributions could show that we appreciate them. Even if you don't use Krita, having open source competition makes the devs of paid software work harder and provide more tools to justify the costs.
I don't use Krita but I may think about it.
sell it to me

photoshop runs as smooth as butter on my pc but fucking krita takes 10 seconds to render one line for me and im not even exaggerating

Had this problem too a while a ago.
Out of curiosity, what gpu do you have?
>>2479668
Im running Krita on a shit-top and its smooth as butter as well now.
They changed the rendering engine last update. So when did you last use Krita?

nvidia gt730 which i got a while ago because i needed nvidia card for some work, krita didnt run properly on my old card as well but that was some ancient ATI
i have old computer and i think krita gets bottlenecked by my CPU while photoshop is more optimized or something

Its JUST painting.
Really if you're using photoshop for painting right now try Krita. I mean you wont have any advantages, but you wont be disadvantaged either.
Anything to hurt Adobe immarite?
Oh, anyone know when Wacom's patent on Electromagnetic resonance for powering pens runs out?

i have the newest version
i keep checking if it works every now and then because i like the W key feature a lot

Play around with the render preview settings.
Also make sure you aren't stabilizing your lines.
>>2479683
Try turning on/off the OpenGL rendering in settings. I had the same problem and after I turned it off it works like a charm. And I have a weaker GPU than you.

patents are cancer

Krita's mascot does all sorts of beautiful things to my dick
>>2479668
Toggle the OpenGL setting if you haven't already. I use krita on a craptop and it's fine.
Also, it's worth noting there's a new rendering engine being developed, it's built with a different rendering paradigm in mind that allows the engine to display realtime visual feedback for brush strokes of arbitrary size without lag, the only thing that mattered was how much screen real estate the brush cursor occupied, the actual size of the brush didn't matter anymore (with regards to visual feedback at least).
You can try the new engine in the latest 3.0 beta build, but it's unstable, the engine chokes hard if I want to resize my brush really big.

I'm fairly sure their patent already did run out, hopefully at least.
>>2479789

Given the fact that patents run out in 20 years... 4 more years.

I want to try krita but I don't have brushes.
I know photoshop brushes work with krita but what should I know before looking up for brushes?
