It will then use the composition of the whole group as the line art. Now, the colorize mask, being a mask, can also be added to a group of line art layers. If you want to edit the strokes again, re-enable Edit Key Strokes. To see the final result, disable Edit Key Strokes or toggle the second to last icon on the colorize mask.
Krita update 3.0.1.1 update#
Now the algorithm will be possibly a lot faster, allowing us to add strokes and press Update in rapid succession: Therefore, make sure that the colorizing keystrokes only take up as much as they really need. This will limit Colorize Mask to use the combined size of the line art and the coloring key strokes. Updating the mask will still show the blue stroke, but the result will be transparent:īecause the colorize mask algorithm is slow, and we only need a part of our layer to be filled to fill the whole ghost lady figure, we can make use of Limit to layer bounds. You can remove colors here, or mark a single color as standing for transparent, by selecting it and pressing “transparent”. In the tool options of the colorize editing tool you will see a small palette. The bigger your file, the longer it will take. In the layer docker, you will be able to see a little progress bar appear on the colorize mask indicating how long it takes. Now, you make strokes with brush colors, press Update in the tool options, or tick the last icon of the colorize mask properties. The tool options overview below shows which options control that. The line art will suddenly become really weird, this is the prefiltering which are filters through which we put the line art to make the algorithm easier to use. You can also the line art layer, and then Add ‣ Colorize Mask. the canvas will add a colorize mask to the layer. This image has the line art for the lady separated from the background, and what’s more, the background is made up of two layers: one main and one for the details.įirst, select the colorize mask editing tool while having the line art layer selected. This tool works in conjunction with the colorize mask, and the usage is as follows:įor this example, we’ll be using the ghost lady also used to explain masks on the basic concepts page. To enable it, find your krita configuration file, open it in notepad, and add “disableColorizeMaskFeature=false” to the top. This feature is technically already in 3.1, but disabled by default because we had not optimized the filling algorithm for production use yet. A tool for quickly coloring line art, the Colorize Mask Editing tool can be found next to the gradient tool on your toolbox.
