hello,
I’m new to the platform and i wanted to report this issue to krita but I somehow found myself here. i am having trouble using the colorise mask after the 5.1.3 update. it was working fine yesterday but today after i installed the update the colours do not stay in the line art. one of the colours i choose always spills out of the borders and fills the entire layer here’s an example.
is anyone else having the same problem? am i doing something wrong?
please help me
thank you in advance
Do you mean thst before that version it didn’t spill? Fulling everything is how it works. You have to explicitly put a transparent or other color scribble around the objects to differentiate thr outside region.
hi,
yesterday i was not having this problem the colours would stay in the lines and they would only spill out if there was a gap. but today they are constantly going outside the lines. i even the basic shape line art drawn in black with pixel brush does not contain the selected colours.
also i would like to add that if i remove the spilled over colour then another one of the colours will fill the rest of the image
The default behavior right now is that everything is filled, so you have to explicitly put a scribble with the color you want (you can set it to transparent on the tool options) on the outside surrounding everything to set how the background should look.
So actually the “weird behavior” is that before it didn’t. Maybe you had some tiny scribble outside that passed unnoticed.
like you suggested i will be using an outside colour and mark it transparent so that the colours stay in their boundaries. yesterday it was more comprehensive today there is an extra step. thank you for your help.
Weird. I use this feature since it exists and I pretty much can’t remember it working any other way than having to mark what is outside and should stay transparent. At least that’s what I always did.
I’ve also used this for a couple years, I’ve always had to add an explicit ‘transparent’ mark.
I am new to digital art and the tutorials do not specifically show that the outside should be marked transparent. yesterday the mask would only colour where shown (slight problems here and there) but today i have to specifically tell the mask to leave the outside alone. i figured either the update changed somethings or i was doing something wrong.
Use of a ‘transparent marker’ colour is specifically mentioned in the manual but it could be illustrated better by including a Tool Options docker screenshot:
Colorize Mask — Krita Manual 5.0.0 documentation
I rarely use the Colourise mask but it’s always been like that, as I recall.
