== Introduktion ==
== Introduction ==


'''Krita''' er et frit program til mange platforme til at skabe digitale malerier, til billedmanipulation, konceptkunst, tegneserier og til at lave teksturer til ting som spilgrafik og 3D-modeller. Det er designet efter traditionelle materialer og kunstneriske arbejdsgange, men er også fyldt med funktioner som kræves af digitale kunstnere, så som lag, filtre, vektor-baseret tegning af stier, typografiske værktøjer og indbygget understøttelse af farvestyring. '''Krita''' er et [[Special:myLanguage/An introduction to KDE|KDE]]-program baseret på [[Special:myLanguage/Calligra|Calligra]]-platformen.
'''Krita''' is a free and cross-platform creativity application for digital painting, image manipulation, concept art, comics and the creation of textures for things like game art or 3D models. It is designed around existing real-world painting materials and artist workflows, but it is also packed with functions digital artists require, like layers, filters, vector-based path drawing, typography tools, and built-in color-management support. '''Krita''' is a [[Special:myLanguage/An introduction to KDE|KDE]] application based on the [[Special:myLanguage/Calligra|Calligra]] platform.

== Brugerflade ==
== Interface ==


'''Krita''' har en meget fleksibel og brugervenlig brugerflade. Næsten alle aspekter af brugerfladen, herunder værktøjslinjer, tastaturgenveje og indstillinger af specifikke værktøjertilvalg via flytbare paneler med faneblade (dokkere) kan indstilles så de passer til en enkelt brugers eller et teams behov. Dokkere er paneler, som kan flyttes rund på skærmen med sædvanlige træk-og-slip-gestus. Ved at bruge disse værktøjer kan en personligt tilpasset, opgavebaseret arbejdsflade laves på få minutter. Hver arbejdsflade kan navngives, gemmes og hentes ind igen til senere brug. I kombination med kunstnerpaletten, som kan tilgås ved højreklik, kan en kunstner skabe en gnidningsfri oplevelse specielt tilpasset egne behov, hvad enten de er projektbaserede eller mere personlige krav til arbejdsgange.
'''Krita''' has a highly flexible and user-friendly interface. Nearly all aspects of the interface, including the toolbar, keyboard shortcuts and specific tool options through the movable tabbed panels, or Dockers can be customized to suit the specific needs of an individual or team. Dockers are panels that can be moved around the screen through familiar drag-and-drop gestures.  Using these tools a personally customized task-based workspace can be created in minutes. Each workspace can be uniquely named, saved and recalled for later use. When combined with the right-click accessible Artist Palette pop-up, an artist can create a seamless experience customized specifically to their needs, whether it is project-based or based more on personal workflow requirements.


=== Værktøjslinjer ===
=== Toolbars ===


I Krita kan du nemt tilpasse værktøjslinjerne ved et simpelt højreklik. Der er to værktøjslinjer i Krita: "Fil" og "Pensler med mere". Du kan tilføje og fjerne vilkårlige funktioner i værktøjslinjerne, ændre tekstposition, ikonstørrelse og rækkefølge. Knaptekster kan ændres og endda overlappes ved at tildele et hvilket som helst ikon, du ønsker at bruge til dem (hvis KDE's Plasma arbejdeflade er installeret). Når du tilpasser værktøjslinjer kan du søge i funktionslisten.
Krita allows users to easily right-click and customize its toolbars. There are two toolbars in Krita: "Files" toolbar and "Brushes and Stuff" toolbar. You may add or remove whatever functions of the toolbars, change text position, icon size and order. Texts on the button can be changed or even overlapped by assigning any desirable icons to them (with KDE plasma workspace installed). While customizing toolbars, the function list is searchable.


=== Genveje ===
=== Shortcuts ===


En nyttig funktion i Krita er muligheden for at tildele og ændre tastaturgenveje. Brugeren opfordres til både at tildele en primær og en alternativ genvej til den enkelte kommando. Når du tilpasser genveje kan du søge i funktionslisten, og brugeren vil blive gjort opmærksom på konflikter imellem genveje.
A powerful feature in Krita is the ability to assign/reassign keyboard shortcuts. The user is encouraged to assign both the main shortcut and an alternative shortcut to a single command. While customizing shortcuts, the command list is searchable and the users is notified of any conflicting commands.


Krita lader dig indstille genveje som kan lette dine egne arbejdsgange, efterligne andre softwarepakker eller begge.
Krita lets you set up shortcuts that both speed your own workflow, emulate another software package or, perhaps, both.


=== Dokkere ===
=== Dockers ===


Dokkere er flytbare paneler, som hver indeholder et specifikt sæt af værktøjer. De kan trækkes rundt på skærmen med sædvanlige træk-og-slip-gestus og kan enten placeres flydende over lærredet eller dokket i et af de forskellige dokkingområder. Du kan ændre dokkeres størrelse, både højde og bredde. Flere dokkere kan grupperes til at dele samme plads med hvert sit faneblad, som du klikker på for at skifte imellem dem. Ved at højreklikke på et panels titellinje kan du let tilføje eller fjerne paneler i listen. En dokker kan minimeres for at spare plads ved at klikke på den nedadvendte pil i det øverste venstre hjørne.
Dockers are movable panels that each contain a specific set of tools. They are moved around the screen using familiar drag-and-drop gestures and can be placed either floating directly on the canvas or docked in one of the multiple docking areas. Dockers may be sized horizontally and vertically. Multiple dockers can be grouped in a shared space and switched between them by clicking on their tabs. By right-clicking on the title area of any panels you can easily add or remove panels from a complete list. A docker can also be collapsed to save space by clicking on its down arrow in the upper left corner.


=== Palette ===
=== Palette ===


Der er to slags paletter i Krita: den almindelige palette til farveforvalg (farveforvalgsdokkeren) og den knap så almindelige kunstnerpalette-pop-up med hurtig adgang til farvevalg, farvehistorik og yndlingspensler. Hurtigvalgspaletten kaldes frem ved at højreklikke et sted på lærredet, hvilket sparer kunstneren for afbrydelse, når der skal skiftes blandt farver og værktøjer; dette gør brugeroplevelsen mere involverende. Yndlingspensler kan føjes til paletten ved at klikke på knappen <menuchoice>Gem til palet</menuchoice> og vælges fra en af vilkårligt mange tag-baserede grupper af pensler.
There are two kinds of palettes in Krita: the ordinary palette for color presets (Color Preset Docker), and the not-so-ordinary Artist Palette pop-up used for quick access to color selector, color history and favorite brushes. This quick access palette can be called up by right-clicking anywhere on the canvas, which liberates the artist from the interruption in switching among colors and tools, thus providing a more immersive user experience. Favorite brushes can be added to the palette by clicking on the toolbar button <menuchoice>Save to Palette</menuchoice>, as well as selecting from any number of tag-based group of brush sets.


=== Penselsystem ===
=== Brush System ===


Krita har et stærkt og yderst justerbart penselsystem baseret på forskellig fysiske tegneredskaber. I penselindstillingerne er forskellige genrer af værktøjer grupperet hver for sig; hver af dem har dusinvis af specifikke indstillingsmuligheder, så kunstneren kan tilpasse dem gennemgribende. I højre side af vinduet til penselindstillinger er det en skitseblok hvor du kan teste den aktuelle pensels indstillinger. Skitseblokkens baggrundsfarver og gradienter kan ændres ved at klikke på ikonerne under den.
Krita has a powerful and highly customizable brush system modeled on various existing real-world drawing tools. In brush settings different genres of tools are grouped separately, each of them has tens of specified options which allow artists to adjust them thoroughly. On the right-side of the brush setting window is a sketchpad where you may test the current brush settings. The background color and sketchpad gradient can be altered by clicking the icons beneath it.


Når du bruger penselværktøjet ("Mal med pensler" i dokkeren '''Værktøjer''') kan du ændre penselstørrelse ved at holde <keycap>Skift</keycap>-knappen nede og trække penselspidsen hen over lærredet. Ved at holde <keycap>Ctrl</keycap> nede skifter du midlertidigt til farvevælgeren. Ved at holde den midterste museknap nede kan du flytte lærredet. Højreklik for få hurtigvælgeren frem. Du finder hurtige skydere til uigennemsigtighed, flow og størrelse i Kritas penselværktøjslinje. Selvom kun to kan vises ad gangen, så kan du klikke på plusset til højre for dem for at skifte imellem de forskellige skydere.
While using the brush tool ("Paint with brushes" in toolbox), you may change brush size by holding <keycap>Shift</keycap> and drag brush-tip horizontally on the canvas. By holding <keycap>Ctrl</keycap> you temporarily switch to color-picker. By holding middle-mouse button you can move canvas. Right-click for the quick palette. Quick sliders of Opacity, Flow and Size can be found on Krita's brush toolbar, while only two can be shown at the same time, you may click the plus button on the right to switch between different sliders.

Introduction

Krita is a free and cross-platform creativity application for digital painting, image manipulation, concept art, comics and the creation of textures for things like game art or 3D models. It is designed around existing real-world painting materials and artist workflows, but it is also packed with functions digital artists require, like layers, filters, vector-based path drawing, typography tools, and built-in color-management support. Krita is a KDE application based on the Calligra platform.

Features

  • Designed specifically for artists, to promote natural drawing and painting workflows
  • Unique "Artist Palette" with color wheel, color history and favorite brushes is available with right-click
  • Multiple highly configurable brush engines create endless opportunities to mimic natural media or create new and unique brush strokes.
  • Layers offer standard Blending Modes, including multiply, overlay, screen, etc...) as well as opacity control, however, they also provide adjustments and fine tuning within specific layer types.
  • Supports Vector Layers with the ability to create and edit complex Path, Curve or Text-based objects.
  • Supports Autosave (1+ min >)
  • Supports User-customizable toolbar, shortcuts and drag-and-drop panels.
  • Wide range document formats support, including GIMP and Adobe Photoshop
  • Built-in Color Management System, supports color space conversion, RGB, CMYK and L*a*b, etc.
  • Extensible through OpenShiva, Python or Ruby scripts
  • Cross-platform, supports various GNU/Linux distributions, FreeBSD, Microsoft Windows and Mac OSX

Interface

Krita has a highly flexible and user-friendly interface. Nearly all aspects of the interface, including the toolbar, keyboard shortcuts and specific tool options through the movable tabbed panels, or Dockers can be customized to suit the specific needs of an individual or team. Dockers are panels that can be moved around the screen through familiar drag-and-drop gestures. Using these tools a personally customized task-based workspace can be created in minutes. Each workspace can be uniquely named, saved and recalled for later use. When combined with the right-click accessible Artist Palette pop-up, an artist can create a seamless experience customized specifically to their needs, whether it is project-based or based more on personal workflow requirements.

Toolbars

Krita allows users to easily right-click and customize its toolbars. There are two toolbars in Krita: "Files" toolbar and "Brushes and Stuff" toolbar. You may add or remove whatever functions of the toolbars, change text position, icon size and order. Texts on the button can be changed or even overlapped by assigning any desirable icons to them (with KDE plasma workspace installed). While customizing toolbars, the function list is searchable.

Shortcuts

A powerful feature in Krita is the ability to assign/reassign keyboard shortcuts. The user is encouraged to assign both the main shortcut and an alternative shortcut to a single command. While customizing shortcuts, the command list is searchable and the users is notified of any conflicting commands.

Krita lets you set up shortcuts that both speed your own workflow, emulate another software package or, perhaps, both.

Dockers

Dockers are movable panels that each contain a specific set of tools. They are moved around the screen using familiar drag-and-drop gestures and can be placed either floating directly on the canvas or docked in one of the multiple docking areas. Dockers may be sized horizontally and vertically. Multiple dockers can be grouped in a shared space and switched between them by clicking on their tabs. By right-clicking on the title area of any panels you can easily add or remove panels from a complete list. A docker can also be collapsed to save space by clicking on its down arrow in the upper left corner.

Palette

There are two kinds of palettes in Krita: the ordinary palette for color presets (Color Preset Docker), and the not-so-ordinary Artist Palette pop-up used for quick access to color selector, color history and favorite brushes. This quick access palette can be called up by right-clicking anywhere on the canvas, which liberates the artist from the interruption in switching among colors and tools, thus providing a more immersive user experience. Favorite brushes can be added to the palette by clicking on the toolbar button Save to Palette, as well as selecting from any number of tag-based group of brush sets.

Brush System

Krita has a powerful and highly customizable brush system modeled on various existing real-world drawing tools. In brush settings different genres of tools are grouped separately, each of them has tens of specified options which allow artists to adjust them thoroughly. On the right-side of the brush setting window is a sketchpad where you may test the current brush settings. The background color and sketchpad gradient can be altered by clicking the icons beneath it.

While using the brush tool ("Paint with brushes" in toolbox), you may change brush size by holding Shift and drag brush-tip horizontally on the canvas. By holding Ctrl you temporarily switch to color-picker. By holding middle-mouse button you can move canvas. Right-click for the quick palette. Quick sliders of Opacity, Flow and Size can be found on Krita's brush toolbar, while only two can be shown at the same time, you may click the plus button on the right to switch between different sliders.
