I think for the average user, speed is the priority rather than accuracy when transforming stuff. The Transform tool’s default preview should be set “Fast.” At first, I thought the Transform tool was slow and an awful experience until I found the preview options. No program besides Photoshop provides that apparently. Lazy Nezumi has precisely adjustable measuring marks so the devs could look into that software.Īlso, if the devs can provide a plugin API that gives canvas size/pos/zoom to the Lazy Nezumi dev, that’d be great. The Assistant tool’s grids could have a more precise density adjustment, especially when you need to have some sort of measurement marks. I typically switch brushes quickly through keybinds, but now I have to open up the Brush presets or the Popup palette to pick brushes. I have to rename the brushes to get the order I want, which I think is not very good. The brushes are sorted only in alphabetical order. It multiplies the brushes I need again and slows my workflow down more. In Krita, there’s an option to increase and decrease the brush properties at incremental rates, but that’s a bit slow so I have to make more brushes with different flow/opacity settings. In Photoshop, you press the number keys to precisely set the opacity and flow percentage of the brush.

There’s no option to precisely set the opacity and flow of the brushes through keybinds. Same size brushes, same settings on Photoshop(0% hardness, 2% spacing, 5% flow) and Krita(0.00 fade, 0.02 spacing, 5% flow) There’s a noticeable delay, but that’s completely okay as long as I get the desired smooth transition of pressure. With Lazy Nezumi, and probably with other programs that has a stroke stabilizer, it completely calculates the stroke all the way to the point where I’ve lifted my pen. The stabilizer doesn’t seem to completely calculate the stroke once I lift my pen from my device and immediately just jump to the point where I lifted my pen, resulting in an undesirable spike in pen pressure, maybe to compensate with the lagging behind effect of the smoothing. I think for people coming from other programs, it’s better to have a right out of the box option to have the Eraser behave as if it’s its own tool.Īwkward brush stabilizer. Thankfully, there’s a downloadable script called Threeslots which basically allows the Eraser to be it’s own tool. I’m aware of the Ten Brushes script that comes along with Krita right out of the box, but it’s just not the same as having it’s own separate tool. I’ve seen threads about people having the same issue. It gave me a hard time adjusting because I’m used to Photoshop having it as a separate tool. Krita is great, but I have some nitpicks: After a couple of days, I’m already about 90% comfortable working with Krita, setting a lot of options, keybinds, and brushes the same with my Photoshop configuration. I can confidently say that I’ve optimized my workflow and know what I want to have if I’m gonna be using a different program as my main workhorse coming from Photoshop. I’ve been using Photoshop CS6 for about 10 years now(I haven’t switched to using their later CC versions) with plugins and scripts, Lazy Nezumi Pro in particular.
