We will be releasing 2.9.x versions of Krita until 3.1 is ready for end users. Every month a new 2.9.x is expected.

This page is for documenting the new features and bugs that get fixed from 1st of july 2015 till whenever the 3.1 release is.

Feature Template

  • [Short Feature Name]
    • [Short explanation in 2-5 sentences]
    • [Screenshot] Screenshot and/or video should small and catchy, so it would be possible to post it in social networks.

Example:

Features

2.9.9 (5th of November)

  • Improve performance by not updating the image when adding empty layers and masks.
  • Add a ctrl-m shortcut for calling up the Color Curves filter dialog. Patch by Raghavendra Kamath. Thanks!
  • Show a message when trying to use the freehand brush tool on a vector layer

2.9.8 (10th of october)

  • Improve performance when adding new layers. (A blank new layer doesn’t need to make Krita update

the entire image)

  • Add a Save Profile checkbox to the TIFF and JPG export filters: you can now save TIFF, JPG and PNG images without an embedded profile.
  • Fix saving PSD when the image has a non-transparent background. Krita has an option to change the default color of the image when all the layers are transparent (available in 'Image' menu). PSD doesn't have this feature so now Krita just creates an additional 'Background' layer if the image has non-default background color.
  • Layer Styles with noise speed improvement
    • Now the randomly generated noise is cached inside Krita, so recalculation of Layer Styles containing any noise effects became much faster.
    • Illustration by David Revoy
