This is something that I really like this application. Brush Motors allow you to customize yours depending on the purpose.

It has none of this, and each one modifies the brush for an activity specifies. If you want to blur or working with particles. Simply customize your brush and save this configuration for later use.

So, you have your tools in the most used, custom to your fingertips. Another favorable aspect in the Customizing.

I decided to do a test by coloring a picture of a cartoon. This process has been fairly simple with customizable color palettes. What were once three hours now is done in one hour with Krita.

Its use is quite simple. But its performance is evident with satisfactory results.

Comparison with Mypaint.

For the editing job, the graphics have been used for some time in Mypaint.

This is a free code that displays characteristics closely resembling the Krita. Their brushes personalization engines are quite complete. But it is a bit more complicated to configure them. because the colors of gears are more efficient and complete used by Krita.

Another aspect that I like most about Krita is the speed and ease with which you learn to use it. This is atracativo for new users.

Ultimately, Krita is more complete and less complicated, this is my gratitude.

Conclusion.

When it comes to graphics editors, personally I like to use open source applications. In this way the work that I do is not subject to complicated licensing.

And the choice of Krita is noted for its quick learning curve. The large amount of available learning assignments make it very easy in this sense.

When it comes to customization, Krita is the winner compared to other programs that I have used. Many tools make it very complete, but it is easy to use and very customizable. All this makes it a wise choice.
