Hot on the heels of the Krita 2.5 first beta release [link], Team Krita, along with KO GmbH and Intel are launching a whole new campaign to take over Windows.

Now in addition to the experimental Windows builds of Krita (available at this [link] ) Team Krita are releasing a whole new touch aware application designed at professional artists dubbed "Krita Sketch", that goes far beyond the basic finger painting apps seen to date.

With Krita Sketch there are now also 3 devs being hired to do some serious bug termination on the windows side of things (which has always lagged behind in development as none of the devs use Windows). This is huge, as the vast majority of professional painters have never even heard of free software, Krita or Linux before. Could Krita be their gateway to a whole new world?

Check out the whole story at this [link].

Please reshare it, if you like it, folks! Thanks!

What is Krita?

Krita is a free and open source, KDE program for sketching and painting, offering an end–to–end solution for creating digital painting files from scratch by masters.

Fields of painting that Krita explicitly supports are concept art, creation of comics and textures for rendering.

Modelled on existing real-world painting materials and workflows, Krita supports creative working by getting out of the way and with snappy response.

Windows users can download an early testing alpha version right now at this [link] , or you can get Krita, for free, right now on Linux (as well as all the latest news and improvements) at Krita.org [link] See what other Krita users are doing on our forums here: [link]

I got very interested in this program when I found out about it and would be more than happy to support this amazing project. However, I downloaded the 2.5.2. version for Windows and my tablet doesn't quite work correctly. The navigation of the cursor is off. I tried searching for a solution on the forums but couldn't really find a straight answer. Do I need to wait for a new stable version?

I encountered 3 problem while starting with Krita 2.6
1. Applying or modifying any filter from the dropdown menu uses too much of cpu that it gets slow. CPU: Core2Duo. Ubuntu Unity
2. Files>new> imports the last screenshot that the 'shutter' app took. It's so weird, I cant even guess the connection between Shutter and Krita.
3.Edit>resources> gives a straight floating line instead of an option or drop down menu.

Any Idea how to fix these?
