Gradients can now be painting as spirals. There’s a brand new magnetic selection tool. There’s a new snapshot docker that stores states of your image, and you can switch between those. Your line art can be in grayscale color space, this is a unique feature in Krita which allows you to keep a layer in a color-space independent from the image. We’ve made it possible to put the canvas area in a window of its own, so on a multi monitor setup, you can have all the controls on one monitor, and your images on the other. You can now create animated brush tips that select brush along multiple dimensions. It’s now possible to adjust the opacity and lightness on colored brush tips separately. There’s a color mode in the gradient map filter and a brand new palettize filter and a high pass filter. There’s a whole new set of brush presets that evoke watercolor painting.

Three months after the release of Krita 4.2.9, we’ve got a major new feature release for you: Krita 4.3.0! We’ve spent the past year not just fixing bugs, even though we fixed over a thousand issues, but have also been busy adding cool new stuff to play with.
