Possibilities of storing color, contrast, or other information about each pixel were limited. A Revolution in the Display of Color and Brightnessīefore the arrival of HDR, displays were calibrated to comply with the D65 standard of whiteness, corresponding to average midday light in Western and Northern Europe. This white paper gives a high-level description of the development process to equip Krita with HDR. Krita and Intel engineers have also worked together to enhance Krita performance through Intel ® multithreading technology, while Intel’s built-in support of HDR provides further acceleration. The pioneering approach of the Krita team can be leveraged by developers to add HDR to other applications.

With HDR, Krita now opens the door for professionals and amateurs to a vastly extended range of colors and luminance. With more than two million downloads per year, the program enables users to create and manipulate illustrations, concept art, comics, matte paintings, game art, and more. Sunny still needed a lot more modelling though.Krita*, a leading open source application for artists, has become one of the first digital painting software to achieve true high dynamic range (HDR) capability. They seem to have got into a little trouble amongst the stones and gravel (a la the Ever Given perhaps?!) but I’m sure Rick can get them out!Īfter 2 hours of painting I had made good progress with Rick’s body. Rick is usually having multi-dimensional adventures with his grandson Morty but here I’ve got him sailing down an idyllic river with his good mate Sunny. I also lightened the side of the boat as, on the river, it wouldn’t actually be in the shadow.

I used the freehand selection tool to extract the boat the clone tool was used on the man in the far left of the photograph and also on the black buoys in the boat. Rather than painting a background I opted to use a couple of the photos and paint the characters on top. Krita has the normal range of photo editing tools and there is a great selection of brushes – textured, pencils, pastels, ink, watercolour and other wet effects.
