![]() ![]() One example would be if you wanted to replace a sky, but were unsure of how much you wanted to replace. In addition, it allows you to do things like remove a portion of a layer in the layer stack so you can see what’s behind it. ![]() This allows you to work non-destructively. By using a mask, you are able to avoid deleting parts of an image that you just might want in the future. Now paint on the above layers (with locked alpha) and everything you paint will appear only where your have your base layer's pixels - probably the most convenient tool together with transform in digital painting -).Īdvantage of this is that's it's a nondestructive method (meaning: you don't like what you painted over? Delete the above layer, create new and paint over again, or just paint over what you don't like, you can also go back to the bottom one and paint over it to chagne the aread) and you can nest groups inside as you can see in the screen below.Ĥ/ Set your brush alpha locked in brush settingsĬheck colorize layers too: this can work hand in hand together well.The Transparency mask allows you to selectively show or hide parts of a layer. The bottom one layer is going to be the base - paint anything you want onto it, the layers above it need to have Inherit Alpha locked. Paint something on your layer, alpha lock your layer and if you try to pain on your layer again changes will be made only to pixels which are not fully transparent (meaning: you paint only over what you already painted on this layer) - it's a destructive change (!) (meaning: you change values of pixels so only Undo will get you changes back).Ĭreate a layer, group it (ctrl + g is a default shortcut otherwise create new group layer (check the bottom part of the layer docker - the arrow next to a plus in a frame), add layers to it. You can use any selection tool and make a selection and then you draw only in that aread, you can also ctrl + click on layer thumbnail to precisely get only what's on the layer and then paint over it in the same layer or other layers.īasically locks your fully transparent pixels (that's why it's called alpha as r, g, b, a - red, green, blue, alpha - alpha from 0 to 1 gives opacity to pixels - well this is common system, doesn't really need to be what Krita uses, there are multiple color systems you can choose from but alpha is basically pixels' opacity). These are the main ones I can come up with. There are multiple methods (you can find teh same in Photoshop but some just use different approach but are the exactly same).Ĭlipping Mask is popular and is what your friend did (most likely as you said he grouped layers), then there is Alpha lock, then as you mention selections. If the way to do this in 4.2 (Or newer, if applicable) is different than the prior version for some reason, I'd really like the newer way to do it, so I'll know when I update. Haven't updated to 4.2 or newer yet because I'm a lazy fuck. also using the 4.1.7 version of Krita currently. I kind of feel like a caveman for not understanding how to use like 75% of the stuff in Krita. It doesn't have to be the exact method my friend used, just how to do it in general. I don't want to use the CS Tool because it's not as clean around the edges like the other method was. I'd ask my friend again, but our schedules conflict. ![]() I'd appreciate any kind of help regarding how to do this. I think it also involved grouping certain layers together and hitting the alpha channel button? It'd make my artwork a lot easier, as it did when I tried it the first time, but I can't remember it for the life of me. If I remember correctly, the way he did it involved something along the lines of fiddling with the background area, hitting control + I, and then. A friend of mine showed me how to do it, but it was one of those things where you think you had it down, until you decide to try it later and realize you apparently didn't retain the information. Basically it was a better version of the Contiguous Selection Tool. ![]()
