When I was a kid, my parents had a three-week vacation every summer, and one week in autumn and one in spring. I never managed that, but that's partly because I get too antsy when I'm away from home for more than two weeks, and pa

Ah, no. Took me a couple of decades to learn to parse that, but, in fact, nope, it's not a solicitation for a preference, it's a direct command. Or, at least, it's been that every time someone has used that phrase at me.

But Brazil also fucking itself... Talk about biting your head off to spite your nose.

I've tried for ages (since 2010...) to get the VFX studios to work with me on making Krita good enough for their needs. I've visited dneg, worked with Intel and other parties, but in the end, the studios yell they want to get rid

Houdini, Maya, Nuke -- all the really big names are on Linux and have been there for a decade or more.

Yes, irrepairable damage in fact. And it's already done near where I live, in the eastern part of the Netherlands

The article is written by an American, so it's not so weird that it talks about Americans: "Susan Strasser is an award-winning historian, a Distinguished Lecturer for the Organization of American Historians, and Richards Professor

I was struck with " They recognize that Slack is not suitable for meaningful conversations, so they automatically delete chat messages older than a few weeks to discourage relying on it for long-term archival." in your article. It

Absolutely true -- but read BD's instead. That will give you spoken language, context and fun in one package. Forget about Maupassant, La Peste, Tartarin de Tarascon, Seigneur de Brantome, Victor Hugo, Balzac or any of the other ancien

I recently realized I had learned late nineteenth-century French at high school... I had French from 1982 to 1989. My teacher was in his sixties, and being a friar, had never been to France, or even Brussels. He had been taught by another f

Well, I am one of the developers :-). There is one situation where I do see brushes not being as responsive as they should be and that's on the test Mobile Studio Pro with Windows 10 we got two years ago -- but only if it's not co

Weirdly enough, it works fine on my ancient Surface Pro 3. So check https://docs.krita.org/en/KritaFAQ.html#krita-is-slow

Krita doesn't do the impasto-style stuff, though with the Digital Atelier brush preset bundle, you can come close. There are a lot of brush engines, and the brushes are very customizable. And it's free (donations accepted, if you

It just doesn't exist yet. There is a possibility that AMD might start supporting HDR this year. Intel is working on it. Nvidia hasn't gotten much further than https://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2016/P

It was just a tech demo for a conference, but yeah, the reception was not friendly, to say the least, along the lines of "How did you dare to hack on Gimp, doing this, without doing us the courtesy of asking for permission first!"

That was a turning point for us as well. We had a sprint at the blender institute in Amsterdam and had invited artists to come as well. And we sat down a whole Saturday, taping them while they were painting and complaining. Us developers, w

Of course not. If you're developing software, you want to spend the time on improving your offering, not porting to the latest, greatest fad. Every minute I, as a software developer, have to spend on porting my application to a new ver

I am the maintainer of an application that will be 20 years old this year. It has never been completely rewritten. There have been two involved ports to a newer version of the framework it uses. It is cross-platform, and runs on Linux, Wind

I wonder how this pdf was produced... Word for Windows 1.0 wouldn't have been able to do those tables.

Give me, and I'm the Krita maintainer, Qt and C++ every and any day...

These days, Adobe is even nicking features we did first in Krita for their application! Apparently, painting is a focus again...

See https://gui.gimp.org/index.php?title=GIMP_GUI_Redesign -- Peter Sikking, a pro UX designer was involved with GIMP for quite a long time. He came up with the save/export dichotomy.

So... I've had to read this about eight times, and two or three of those together with someone to figure this out... But what you're saying is "gimp developers work on gimp because they like gimp, while blender developers wor

Do people really _borrow_ money to buy engagement rings? That sounds so weird...

Because that would be a very silly thing to spend time on? Time taken away from working on things that Krita is meant for?

Exactly -- I couldn't have put it better :-)

We had two videos this time! I always give people who volunteer a free hand, but I have to admit, my computers are always muted. They should be seen, not heard, so I never listened to the music myself.

No, none at all, I'm afraid. That would need a really dedicated person interested in working on both Qt and Krita. We did have a summer of code project where a student updated Qt's painting code to work with Apple's openGL im
