![]() But if you see this from the user perspective that has the “ instant preview” mode always turned on. So, is this means that Krita is not more performant compared to Photoshop or to any other graphic software out there? Well, technically if you look under the hood, yes. Then draw the brush feedback on that smaller canvas size almost instantly, while calculates the real brush stroke in the background progressively. Right? Now, what the smart developer team at Krita did, is that they managed to make Krita to take a smaller version of the canvas. The larger the data the longer it took to process it. you name it, they all face the same problem. Photoshop, Gimp, Corel Painter, Paint tool SAI, Clip Studio Paint, etc. Essentially all graphic software performance suffered from large image and large brush size due to the amount of data they need to process. Previously known as “ LOD strokes” or “Level Of Detail strokes”. ![]() This feature is called “ Instant Preview”. Krita uses a brush speed-up mechanism that was funded back in 2015 through a Kickstarter campaign. First, let me explain about the brush previewing technique in Krita. It just “ feel” more performant because it uses different brush previewing technique compared to Photoshop. Now, some of you who are technical geeks may argue that Krita is not more performant. Krita is now officially more performant than Photoshop. But since several releases, especially since version 4.2.1 Krita just open a whole new era that turned the condition upside down. This is the main reason why many people avoid using Krita. And this is just amazing! Because Krita in the old versions of it, is known to be slow and laggy, especially when dealing with large size document and with large size brushes. Currently at version 4.2.1 Krita is actually more responsive than Photoshop. For my (non painting) workflows, is an absolute must, I use it together with Inkscape.As you can see in this side-by-side comparison. I'm a realistic painter, with many years of experience, and yup, I'd totally would paint with Photo (my tools of choice are tho CSP, Krita, and since recently PaintTool SAI 2.0 (best painting app in performance, till crazy levels, tho minimalist UI, and it is "only" a painter (quite more so than Krita), not for everyone).ĭesigner is a very good purchase for vector based illustration, and in my opinion, specially for graphic design. But some of us value very highly the versatility offered to an illustrator, painter and general graphic professional doing other tasks besides just painting (but these advantages are also in painting), reason why still can see an edge on using Photo or Photoshop for Painting instead of Krita, Art Rage or Corel Painter, to name a few.Īnd currently the brushes in Photo do behave quite well (you have two modes of line stabilizer, and several other features that provide the essentials, in my book). That said, I know I would be able as well to do digital painting in Designer's pixel persona, but would be pointless, as the advantages of using a "PS like" tool like Photo, disappear in that pixel persona of Designer, so, for that I'd rather just use CSP, SAI or Krita (I can't stand Rebelle, Open Canvas and Paintstorm Studio inability to deal with bigger than 10x10k (or similar) pixel canvases.). There are some important tools you don't have in the pixel persona in Designer which you have in Photo (I made an in depth comparison for my own use some time ago). vector based illustration, and specially graphic design.įor similar reasons I think Photoshop, while being mostly an image editor, is fantastic for digital painting ( it is the software REQUIRED for concept artists in the entire industry!), and so is Affinity Photo, as a lot of the essential advantages of that use of PS, are in Photo, too. I think for digital painting and specially concept art (in the way it is done at game companies) and matte painting, Photo is a better solution than Designer's Pixel Persona.Īnd. And this last 1.9 version is sweet in many senses. Yes, it (Photo) is very capable of painting. ![]()
