Just choose Background: As Canvas Color in the new image dialogue and the image background will be white.
You can turn it back to transparent via Image ‣ Image Background Color and Transparency… menu item. If you export a PNG or JPG, make sure to uncheck Store alpha channel (transparency) and to make the background color white (it’s black by default). Like SAI, you can quickly turn a black and white image to black and transparent with the Filter: Color to Alpha dialog under Filters ‣ Colors ‣ Color to Alpha… menu item. Brush Settings ¶Īnother, somewhat amusing misconception is that Krita’s brush engine is not very complex. After all, you can only change the Size, Flow and Opacity from the top bar. It’s rather that we don’t have our brush settings in a docker but a drop-down on the toolbar. The easiest way to access this is with the F5 key. As you can see, it’s actually quite complex. We have more than a dozen brush engines, which are a type of brush you can make. The ones you are used to from Paint Tool SAI are the Pixel Brush (ink), The Color Smudge Brush (brush) and the filter brush (dodge, burn).Ī simple inking brush recipe for example is to take a pixel brush, uncheck the Enable Pen Settings on opacity and flow, and uncheck everything but size from the option list.
