Krita 3.2.0 Released, Install on Ubuntu / Linux Mint and Debian

Krita is an open source application that provides users with a sophisticated graphical software for creating amazing paintings, drawings, sketches, and any other type of artwork. It was previously distributed as part of the deprecated KOffice office suite for the KDE desktop environment.
Features at a glance

The application features painting tools with brushes and colors, support for layers and channels, gradients, airbrush, erase tool, simple geometric forms, undo and redo support, zoom, color selections, as well as many filters. In addition, it allows users to create brushes from squares and circles, load and save images in the app’s native file format, add, merge, reorder and remove layers, or to load GIMP brushes, pipe brushes, patterns and gradients.

The program also allows users to use patterns and colours for filling the background, import and export images in any other format that is supported by the ImageMagick program, create layers with transparency, use RGB(A), gray(A) and color models, use high-quality scaling, and much more. Another interesting feature is the ability to work with Wacom tablets, which makes this application perfect for processional graphicians who want to create amazing artwork for blockbuster video games.

Changes since the last release candidate:

• Improve the “Normal” blending mode performance by 30% (first patch for Krita by Daria Scherbatyuk!)

• Fix panning in gmic-qt when applying gmic-qt to a non-RGBA image
• Scale channel values correctly when using a non-RGBA image with gmic-qt

Bug Fixes

• There have been many fixes to the clone brush
• If previously you suffered from the “green brush outline” syndrome, that should be fixed now, too. Though we cannot guarantee the fix works on all OpenGL systems.
• There have been a number of performancei mprovements as well
• The interaction with the file dialog has been improved: it should be better at guessing which folder you want to open, which filename to suggest and which file type to use.
• Some cleanups when handling OpenGL
• Show a clearer error when loading the wintab32.dll file fails on Windows
• Fix a regression where bezier tools couldn’t close the curve and couldn’t create a second curve
• Fixes for working with multiple windows in subwindow mode where one of the documents is set to “stays on top”
• Fix resetting the Level of Detail cache when changing the visibility of a layer: this fixes an issue where after changing the visibility of a layer, the color picker would pick from an older version of the layer.
• Save the last used folder in the Reference Images Docker
• Don’t create nested autosave documents.
• Add recognizing uc-logic tablets on Linux
• Improve the stabilizer
• Fix loading a custom brush preset that uses the text brush
• Fixes to saving jpg or png images without a transparency channel
