Krita is a free and open source illustration and painting graphics software suite which performs quite nicely for those with a creative side. Tight integration with the rest of the Koffice suite.Free paint software for creative artists and amateurs with a number of drawing tools, image enhancements and effects for creating digital art. Drawing is much, much smoother because we can process much more information and issues with offsets are gone.Ībility to combine both bitmap and vector art We now have our own code on X11 and Windows, though still based on Qt's example. This was mostly done by Dmitry Kazakov during a week-long visit to Deventer, sponsored by the Krita Foundation. So, with leaden shoes, we decided to dive in, and do our own tablet support. On Windows, the story was different, and we were confronted by problems with offsets, bad performance, no support for tablets with built-in digitizers like the Lenovo Helix. And apart from the lack of support for non-Wacom tablets, this was mostly enough on X11. We consciously dropped our own X11-level code in favour of the cross-platform API that Qt offered. Krita has relied on Qt's graphics tablet support since Krita 2.0. With a full feature-set, configurable gui and a strong focus on plain productivity, Krita is at home on every artist's desktop. It supports many image formats, colour modes and profiles. It can be used for a range of image creation ranging from natural media painting, sketching and photo editing. Krita is a bitmap imaging suite included as an integrated part of Koffice.
