![]() Like SAI, you can quickly turn a black and white image to black and transparent with the Filter: Color to Alpha dialog under Filters ‣ Colors ‣ Color to Alpha… menu item. If you export a PNG or JPG, make sure to uncheck Store alpha channel (transparency) and to make the background color white (it’s black by default). You can turn it back to transparent via Image ‣ Image Background Color and Transparency… menu item. Just choose Background: As Canvas Color in the new image dialogue and the image background will be white. Still, if you want to have the canvas background to be white, this is possible. So one of the things that throw a lot of Paint Tool SAI users off is that Krita uses checkers to display transparency, which is actually not that uncommon. Just turn off Delay so that the dead-zone disappears. Use Basic Smoothing for more advanced tablets, and Stabilizer is much like Paint Tool SAI’s. This is in the tool options docker of the freehand brush. Combine these with the shortcut sheet for Paint Tool SAI to get most of the functionality on familiar hotkeys. Krita 3.0 actually has a Paint Tool SAI-compatible input sheet shipped by default. Hide Selection, Reset Rotation are currently not available via the Toolbar configuration, you’ll need to use the shortcuts Ctrl + H and 5 to toggle these. (Though, on smaller screens this will cause all the things in the Brushes and Stuff Toolbar to hide inside a drop-down to the right, so you need to experiment a little). You can do the same for Redo, Deselect, Invert Selection, Zoom out, Zoom in, Reset zoom, Rotate left, Rotate right, Mirror view and perhaps Smoothing: basic and Smoothing: stabilizer to get nearly all the functionality of SAI’s top bar in Krita’s top bar. ![]() When done right, the Undo should now be sandwiched between the save and the gradient icon. There, toggle Hide text when toolbar shows action alongside icon to prevent the action from showing the text. Select the action to the right, and click Change text. Then select the action ‘undo freehand stroke’ and drag it to the right. Then, you can type in something in the left column to search for it. There are two toolbars, but we’ll add to the Main Toolbar. Go to Settings ‣ Configure Toolbars… menu item. You can also put these commands on the toolbar, so it’ll feel a little like SAI. You can use the Overview docker in Settings ‣ Dockers to quickly navigate over your image. Use the 1, 2 or 3 keys to reset the zoom, fit the zoom to page or fit the zoom to page width. You can use the + and - keys to zoom out and in, or use the Ctrl + shortcut. But you can also have more sophisticated rotation with the Shift + Space + drag or Shift + + drag shortcuts. There’s a couple of possibilities here: either the 4 and 6 keys, or the Ctrl + shortcuts for basic 15 degrees rotation left and right. Unlike SAI, these are tied to keyboard keys. Krita, just like SAI, allows you to flip, rotate and duplicate the view. This section goes over the functionalities that Krita and Paint Tool SAI share, but shows how they slightly differ. You can check out a video demonstration of the plug-in at this YouTube page.Introduction to Krita coming from Paint Tool SAI ¶ How do you do that in Krita? ¶ The smearing and blending of colors is similar to adding oil paint effects to pictures. This is a great tool to blend colors from foreground objects with the background. If you drag it to the far left, the smudging effect is greatly reduced. Drag that bar further to the right to increase the smudge effect. There is also a Strength bar at the bottom of the window. For example, if you drag that bar to the far left you’ll have a much blacker smearing effect as in the shot below. The Gamma bar effectively adjusts the contrast of the smearing effect. Press the OK button to apply the smudge effect to the picture. You can adjust the area of the brush by dragging the size bar to the left and right. Then you can smear the photo by dragging the red circle over areas of the image. Now click and hold the left mouse button with the cursor over the image. Then click Effects > Distort > TR’s Smudger to open the window in the shot below. Extract it to Paint.NET’s Effects folder. Extract the Zip package by right-clicking it and selecting Extract All. Head over to this page and click TRsSmudger.zip to save the Zip. As such, it mixes oil paint color effects into pictures. One plug-in you can add to Paint.NET is TechnoRobbo’s Smudger V2.2, which adds a tool to smudge and smear your favorite photos with. Paint.NET is a freeware image-editing application that you can add a variety of editing options to with plug-ins. ![]()
