I haven’t really used any filters besides the Sharpen filter whenever I save sketches as a PNG so I can post them on my instagram, the filters I haven’t really explored so far yet. The regular filters already have a lot of options for me, the G’MIC filters is another layer of the iceberg I haven’t touched at all. The G’MIC filters also slightly lag and load really slow for me, so I just don’t use the G’MIC filters at all.

Sweet! :slight_smile:

Yeah, it is just kitchen coffee talk :wink:

Interesting. It is just like drawing with a pencil but digitally. Do you get the final peace by just drawing it from the ground up? No post-processing, color correction, nothing?

Wow! Quite a few? By the list, it seems you like making comix. Is not it?

Never used one. What what purposes do you use it?

Indeed. It is like a completely separate world.

  1. HSV Adjustment
  2. Color adjustment curves
  3. Levels (this is just #2 but harder to use and I do it when I forget #2 exists)
  4. Gaussian Blur

I do everything else in paint.net including Gray to alpha and G’mic as plugin filters. It’s just far more extensive. Only HSV adjustment gets regular use by me

Nice. Image tweaking that is)

Do the Multiply/Screen type layers count as filters? If so, I use a multiply layer on top of a lot of my drawings to help with additional shading. Also the Overlay and Soft Light layers for lighting.
I use the Alpha lock to keep things neat.
Occasionally I will use a blur to create depth in the background.

Yup, drawn from ground up… Sketched first then painted in. Take a look at my portfolio here on Krita-Artists. None of them were done with any filters. It was fun painting them. My w.i.p. posts show my setup.
