KRITAPAGE UPDATE
KRITAPAGE FULL

Joining the implementation of Avif last release, JPEG-XL is the newest update of the JPEG image file format, and one of the new set of file formats that is designed to bring wide color gamuts and HDR to the web. Most PSDs use these fill layers in combination with vector masks, which are not yet implemented. This extends the ASL parser inside Krita, which means that layer styles have better color and pattern import as well. This allows loading and saving layer color labels to PSD, as well as loading and saving the gradient, pattern and color fill layers. PSD fill layers and color labels ( MR 1309).We’ve improved the UI that allows you to choose which of these options you want to use. Sometimes when this is done with images programs add several different options. When you copy data between programs, that data is put into the system clipboard. Improve retrieval of image data from clipboard ( MR 1296, MR 1431).Because of a mistake with our build system, Krita couldn’t see OpenExr 2.3 and above, this is fixed now. OpenExr support for 2.3 and 3+ ( MR 1049).

On top of this, the export dialog for TIFF was reworked, and we now load and save metadata to tiff ( MR 1015). We now support loading data from such files. Despite Adobe being the steward of the Tiff spec, Photoshop has a unique non-spec compliant way of saving layers into a tiff file: Putting a whole PSD document into the metadata.

Support for Photoshop layered Tiffs ( MR 944).

We had basic WebP support already, but this adds full support using WebP Codec with every possible toggle imaginable. You can now paint on selection masks with blending modes ( MR 1437).Furthermore a button got added for showing the context menu when rightclick is unavailable, and finally, file layers now report if their file cannot be found ( MR 1443, MR 1213, MR 1419). Beyond that there’s a small number of UI tweaks made to the layer docker: You can now control how strongly layers indent when in a group.This enables copy, cut and paste and clear on when having a selection on multiple layers at once. The biggest change to layer handling in Krita 5.1 is Santhosh Anguluri’s Google Summer of Code project 2021: Operations for multiple layers ( MR 888).
