Open Apps · Painting
A focused digital painting and illustration workspace for artists and world builders.
Planned · file-based workflow directions
These planned workflows show where Krita may contribute alongside other independent apps. Detailed steps will be published as formats, outputs, and handoffs are confirmed.
Photography · Planned
Develop a camera original non-destructively, then pass a rendered image to pixel editing or page layout.
Workflow shapeRAW develop → rendered still → edit or place
Krita contributesMake pixel-level edits in Krita and keep the layered KRA alongside the rendered still.
View in the workflow catalog ↗Animation · Planned
Keep animation editable in Krita while assembling frames, titles, and sound in Kdenlive.
Workflow shapeAnimated project → numbered PNG sequence → editorial timeline
Krita contributesExport the intended frame range as a numbered PNG sequence and keep the KRA source editable.
View in the workflow catalog ↗Product imagery · Planned
Turn a Blender render into a polished still and place it in a print or vector layout.
Workflow shape3D scene → rendered still → image cleanup → page layout
Krita contributesRefine or label the render and keep the editable KRA if application-specific layers are added.
View in the workflow catalog ↗Editorial · Planned
Use rendered images from RapidRAW, GIMP, Krita, or Inkscape as still clips in a Kdenlive edit.
Workflow shapeDeveloped or edited stills → timeline clips → rendered video
Krita contributesPaint or refine stills and retain the KRA source when layered work needs revision.
View in the workflow catalog ↗Comics and illustration · Planned
Use Krita’s vector-based comic panels and clipped paint layers to keep page framing consistent while drawing freely.
Workflow shapeTemplate panels → clipped drawing layers → print or web export
Krita contributesSet up reusable vector panel borders and clipped paint layers, then export the page for print or web.
View in the workflow catalog ↗2D animation · Planned
Create a short hand-drawn loop in Krita, then render predictable numbered frames for a game, editor, or web animation.
Workflow shapeLayered keyframes → timing review → numbered PNG sequence
Krita contributesKeep the animation project editable and export a numbered PNG sequence with a deliberate start frame and full frame range.
