14 DAY TRIAL // The Krita Foundation announced the release of Krita 4.1, the first major update of the open-source and cross-platform application since the release of the Krita 4.0 series earlier this year.
Highlights of the Krita 4.1 release include the ability to save and load sessions that can include a set of images and views, support for creating multi-monitor workspace layouts, improved workflow when working with animation frames, and better animation timeline display.
Krita 4.1 also enables handling of larger animation files by buffering rendered frames to the local disk drive, replaces the old reference images docker with an all-new reference images tool, adds a mixing option to the color picker tool, and improves the performance of brush masks through vectorization.
Now available for Linux, Mac, and Windows
Also new in the Krita 4.1 release of the open-source and cross-platform digital painting software used by thousands of digital artists all over the world is support for building Krita’s scripting module with the latest Python 2 technologies. Of course, it also includes numerous bug fixes and other performance enhancements.
Krita 4.1 is now available to and download Krita 4.0 for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows platforms through our software portal, as well as directly from the official announcement page.
