Krita 4.1.5 Released

Published 10/11/2018

Krita is an open-source (GPL) digital painting application: Free paint software for creative artists and amateurs with a number of drawing tools, image enhancements and effects for creating digital art. The download is available as an EXE file and the latest version is 4.4.1. Krita 4.1.7 Released. Today we’re releasing Krita 4.1.7, another bug fix release in the Krita 4.1 series. The most important fix is a weird one: it might help your wifi connection. The problem is that we started building a widget that would show you the news feed from krita.org.

Coming hot on the heels of Krita 4.1.3, which had an unfortunate accident to the TIFF plugin, we’re releasing Krita 4.1.5 today! There’s a lot more than just that fix, though, since we’re currently celebrating the last week of the Krita Fundraiser by having a very productive development sprint in Deventer, the Netherlands.

Download: Just download Krita 4.0, they are part of it by default.: v3.0, Krita 2.7.0 - Base for many Krita default. Adding a standard for thumbnails.

Krita is a free and open source illustration and painting tool which performs quite nicely for those with a creative side.

Krita 4.4.0

Though many people use expensive software like Adobe Photoshop these days, Krita is an excellent alternative with its own niche. It can be used to create all different types of art and illustrations including those for designers, game creators or cartoons.

The layout of Krita looks familiar, featuring a number of different drawing tools to the left, similar to Photoshop. The top menu has what you might already be used to with menu items such as File, Edit, View, Image, Layer, Select, Filter, Tools, Settings, Window and Help; quite similar again to Photoshop.

With all of the similarities to Adobe Photoshop out of the way, Krita features a number of tools which actually seem more intuitive than its commercial counterparts; It comes with 9 preset brushes for painting images like a pen, marker, pencil, etc.

The Image menu of Krita provides access to different image manipulation tools such as mirror, flip, rotate, shear image, color space conversion, image split and more. The layer menu does some of what the image menu does and more, as you would expect from specific layer editing options.

As a powerful image editor, Krita also provides a number of filters built-in like artistic effects, blurring, sharpening and various enhancements.

Digging in a bit deeper reveals a lot of different gems within Krita and those with artistic inclinations may be tempted to spend a bit more time playing around with the tools and image enhancement features Krita offers.

Overall, Krita is an excellent image editing and paint suite which is fully capable of providing artists and designers with a bunch of free tools otherwise costing quite a bit.

Krita can add text to an image, apply special effects to a picture, create web graphics and create and edit layers.
