Install Krita 3.1 On Ubuntu 16.10 & Ubuntu 16.04

By Sourabh /  Category: How To, Ubuntu

Install Krita 3.1 on Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu 16.04 Systems. Krita is a powerful painting and image editing program for Linux Ubuntu Systems. Install Krita on Ubuntu using terminal commands or App Image.

Krita 3.1.2, released on February 1st 2017, is the first bugfix release in the 3.1 release series. But there are a few extra new features thrown in for good measure! It brings the following changes:

Notable Changes

  • Render Animation – You can now export your animations to the following animation formats: animated GIF, MP4, MKV, OGG, giving a range of small sized files for your favourite blogging site to high quality formats to show off. This requires the ffmpeg library.
  • Animation Curves – There is now a animation curves docker to allow making opacity tweens, and we hope to allow transformation mask tweens in the future! Furthermore, you can now color code frames, which can be used to mark the most important frames in an animation, so you can find them back more easily.
  • New Color Picker – Krita now has a new internal color selector for selecting wide-gamut values! This means that you can finally break free from the limited gamut of your screen(sRGB) and use wide gamut spaces.

Other New Features

  • Create a stroke around your selection (https://docs.krita.org/Stroke_Selection)
  • Halftone filter added. Find it in the main menu: Filters > Artistic.
