Pacman Registered Member Posts 16 Karma 0	Lack of proper documentation and tutorials Sat Aug 04, 2012 5:59 am http://userbase.kde.org/Krita/Manual I was wondering when we would get a proper documentation.Also can someone change the vector layer section to vector/shape layer section by the way can I help with the documentation despite having project neon version. Where should I go to learn krita for free?.

I just wanted to point out, that Userbase.kde.org is wiki that anyone can edit. So, if you think that current documentation is wrong in some way (or misses something important), you may just start editing. Best regards Mirosław Zalewski

It is true that the developer is finding it hard to keep the documentation up to date, and he would definitely welcome help. Add/edit as required - I'm pretty sure that he will have a watch put on it, so he will know if you hit any problem and jump in to help you. annew, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct and a KDE user since 2002.

halla KDE Developer Posts 5092 Karma 20 OS	Re: Lack of proper documentation and tutorials Tue Aug 14, 2012 7:40 pm You can register at userbase.kde. org and then edit the manual. A group layer in krita is slightly different from the same thing in photoshop: in krita the layers contained in the group are composited separately from the rest of the image; then the result is used in the composition of the image. This is actually recursive, of course. So in a sense, a group layer is a little image composed of layers in itself, embedded in a larger image. In photoshop, all layers are composed linearly, as far as I know.
