常规设置

You can access the General Category of the preferences by first going to Settings ‣ Configure Krita… menu item.

光标设置

Customize the drawing cursor here:

光标形状

Select a cursor shape to use while the brush tools are used. This cursor will always be visible on the canvas. It is usually set to a type exactly where your pen nib is at. The available cursor types are shown below.

工具图标

Shows the currently selected tool icon, even for the freehand brush.

箭头

显示常规鼠标指针。

准星

Shows a precision reticule.

小圆圈

Shows a small white dot with a black outline.

无光标

Show no cursor, useful for tablet-monitors.

Triangle Right-Handed.

Gives a small white triangle with a black border.

Triangle Left-Handed.

Same as above but mirrored.

黑像素

Gives a single black pixel.

白像素

Gives a single white pixel.

轮廓形状

Select an outline shape to use while the brush tools are used. This cursor shape will optionally show in the middle of a painting stroke as well. The available outline shape types are shown below. (pictures will come soon)

无轮廓

Turns the outline off.

圆形轮廓

Gives a circular outline approximating the brush size.

预览轮廓

Gives an outline based on the actual shape of the brush.

倾斜轮廓

Gives a circular outline with a tilt-indicator.

While Painting…

Show Outline

This option when selected will show the brush outline while a stroke is being made. If unchecked the brush outline will not appear during stroke making, it will show up only after the brush stroke is finished. This option works only when Brush Outline is selected as the Cursor Shape.

在 4.1 版更改: Used to be called “Show Outline When Painting”.

使用有效轮廓大小

4.1 新版功能: This makes sure that the outline size will always be the maximum possible brush diameter, and not the current one as affected by sensors such as pressure. This makes the cursor a little less noisy to use.

Cursor Color:

The default cursor color. This is mixed with the canvas image so that it will usually have a contrasting color, but sometimes this mixing does not work. This is usually due driver problems. When that happens, you can configure a more pleasant color here.

Window Settings

Multiple Document Mode

This can be either tabbed like GIMP or Paint Tool SAI, or sub windows, like Photoshop.

Background image

Allows you to set a picture background for sub window mode.

窗口背景

Set the color of the sub window canvas area.

Use Custom Interface Font

4.4.2 新版功能: This allows you to tweak the interface font and the size. Requires a restart.

Don’t show contents when moving sub-windows

This gives an outline when moving windows to work around ugly glitches with certain graphics-cards.

在画布上显示浮动消息

Whether you want to see the on-canvas pop-up messages that tell you whether you are in tabbed mode, rotating the canvas, or mirroring it.

启用高分辨率屏幕 (Hi-DPI) 支持

Attempt to use the Hi-DPI support. It is an option because we are still experiencing bugs on Windows.

(Hi-DPI) Enable fractional scale factor

5.0 新版功能: Allow the Hi-DPI support to use fractional (not multiples of 100%) display scaling. If you uses a fractional display scaling, this option can make the interface of Krita match the interface size of the rest of your system, but it may cause some visual artifacts.

Allow only one instance of Krita

An instance is a single entry in your system’s task manager. Turning this option makes sure that Krita will check if there’s an instance of Krita open already when you instruct it to open new documents, and then have your documents opened in that single instance. There’s some obscure uses to allowing multiple instances, but if you can’t think of any, just keep this option on.

5.0 版后已移除: Since Krita 5.0 this has been deprecated, as it now uses a SQLite database for handling the resources, and this cannot be managed by multiple instances.

Tools Settings

Tool Options Location

In docker (default)

Gives you the tool options in a docker.

In toolbar

Gives you the tool options in the toolbar, next to the brush settings. You can open it with the \ key.

Brush Flow Mode

In Krita 4.2 the behavior of flow in combination with opacity was changed. This allows you to turn it back to the 4.1 behavior. This will however be removed in future versions.

Switch Control/Alt Selection Modifiers

This switches the function of the Ctrl and Alt keys when modifying selections. Useful for those used to Gimp instead of Photoshop, or Lefties without a right Alt key on their keyboard.

Enable Touch painting

This allows finger painting with capacitive screens. Some devices have both capacitive touch and a stylus, and then this can interfere. In that case, just toggle this.

在 5.0 版更改: When this is disabled, panning the canvas can be done with by dragging a single finger over the canvas, while when enabled, panning will only be done by dragging three fingers.

Activate transform tool after pasting

4.2 新版功能: A convenience feature. When enabling this, the transform tool will activate after pasting for quick moving or rotating.

Enable Touch Rotation

Without this, gestures on the canvas only allow zoom and pan, with this turned on, the two-finger gesture also allows to rotate.

Kinetic Scrolling (Needs Restart)

This enables kinetic scrolling for scrollable areas.

Kinetic scrolling on the brush chooser drop-down with activation mode set to On Click Drag, with this disabled all of these clicks would lead to a brush being selected regardless of drag motion.

• 作用

  How it is activated.

  • On Middle-Click Drag

    Will activate when using the middle mouse button.

    触摸并拖拽时

    Will activate if it can recognize a touch event. May not always work.

    点击并拖拽时

    Will activate when it can recognize a click event, will always work.

  敏感性

  How quickly the feature activates, this effective determines the length of the drag.

  Hide Scrollbar

  Whether to show scrollbars when doing this.

File Handling

4.2 新版功能.

Enable Autosaving

Determines whether Krita should periodically autosave.

Autosave Every

Here the user can specify how often Krita should autosave the file, you can tick the checkbox to turn it off. For Windows these files are saved in the %TEMP% directory. If you are on Linux it is stored in /home/'username'.

Unnamed autosave files are hidden by default

This determines whether the filename of autosaves has a period prepended to the name. On Linux and macOS this is a technique to ensure the file is hidden by default.

Create Backup File

When selected Krita will, upon save, rename the original file as a backup file and save the current image to the original name. The result is that you will have saved the image, and there will be a copy of the image that is saved separately as a backup. This is useful in case of crashes during saves.

Backup File Location

The default location these backups should be stored.

• Same Folder as Original File

  Store the file in the same folder as the original file was stored.

  User Folder

  This is the main folder of your computer. On Linux and macOS this is the ‘Home’ folder, on Windows, the c:UsersYOUR_USER_NAME folder (where YOUR_USER_NAME is your windows username).

  Temporary File Folder

  This stored the file in the temp folder. Temp folders are special folders of which the contents are emptied when you shut down your computer. If you don’t particularly care about your backup files and want them to be ‘cleaned’ automatically, this is the best place. If you want your backup files to be kept indefinitely, this is a wrong choice.

Backup File Suffix

The suffix that will be placed after the full filename. filename.kra will then be saved as filename.kra~, ensuring the files won’t show up in Krita’s open file dialog.

Number of Backup Files Kept

Number of backup files Krita keeps, by default this is only one, but this can be up to 99. Krita will then number the backup files.

Compress \*.kra files more (slows loading/saving)

This increases the ZIP compression on the saved Krita files, which makes them lighter on disk, but this takes longer to load.

Use Zip64

KRA files are ZIP files. Zip64 allows you to make really large image files (which is useful for animation), however, not all ZIP file programs can read Zip64, including older versions of Krita.

Trim Files before Saving

Normally, Krita will always keep pixels outside the visible canvas area and save that. With this option turned on, Krita will first crop all the layers to the canvas-area and then save it.

其他

When Krita starts

This is the option for handling user sessions. It has the following options:

• Open Default Window

  This opens the regular empty window with the last used workspace.

  Load Previous Session

  Load the last opened session. If you have Save session when Krita closes toggled, this becomes the last files you had open and the like.

  Show Session Manager

  Show the session manager directly, so you can pick a session.

4.1 新版功能.

Krita 退出时保存会话

Save the current open windows, documents and the like into the current session when closing Krita, so you can resume where you left off.

4.1 新版功能.

Upon importing Images as Layers, convert to the image color space.

This makes sure that layers are the same color space as the image, necessary for saving to PSD.

Undo Stack Size

This is the number of undo commands Krita remembers. You can set the value to 0 for unlimited undo commands.

Enable Logging For Bug Reports

This controls whether Krita keeps a log of the important actions, which can then be attached to a bug report. You can view the log itself via Help ‣ Show Krita Log for Bug Reports, and the log itself is stored in the shared application settings.

注解

Krita does not automatically transfer data anywhere. The log needs to be uploaded by users themselves if necessary.

启动时隐藏欢迎屏幕.

This’ll hide the splash screen automatically once Krita is fully loaded.

4.1 版后已移除: Deprecated because Krita now has a welcome widget when no canvas is open.

Enable Native File Dialog

This allows you to use the system file dialog. Turned off by default, because we cannot seem to get native file dialogues 100% bug free.

Maximum brush size

This allows you to set the maximum brush size to a size of up to 10,000 pixels. Do be careful with using this, as a 10,000 pixel size can very quickly be a full gigabyte of data being manipulated, per dab. In other words, this might be slow.

在后台重新生成动画缓存.

Krita will recalculate the cache when you’re not doing anything.

在 4.1 版更改: This is now in the 性能设置 under Animation Cache.

Automatically Pin New layers To Timeline.

Used with the Animation Timeline Docker, this will pin all animation layers to the timeline automatically. Depending on your workflow, this can be quite intense, so hence the option to turn it off.

5.0 新版功能.

Adapt playback range to key frames.

This option decides whether adding key frames outside the current playback range automatically extends the playback range or not.

5.0 新版功能.

Font DPI Workaround

We had a bug in Krita 4.x where the DPI of the display affected the DPI of the text.

Now when loading a file created in Krita 4.4 we convert its font sizes using the DPI of the display and bake this new value into the file. The user can override this behavior by selecting another DPI in here. Setting this value to 72 DPI will effectively disable any scaling.

5.0 新版功能.

Resources

For determining the location of the resource folder and the cache.

5.0 新版功能.

Cache Location

Sets where the SQLite Database that manages all the resources is located.

Resource Folder

Sets where the Resource Folder itself is located.
