Hello!

I'm having issues saving/exporting my drawings. The quality is very bad and the colors are off. I've done the steps on KDE Userbase Wiki (https://userbase.kde.org/Krita/Manual/ImportExport) for saving so I can post on the web, but when I do that, as stated before, the quality is bad and the colors are off. I've also tried cranking the resolution of the picture up from instead of 72, to around 500 which greatly improves the image's quality, but the colors are still incorrect to when I drew it in Krita. Is there something that I am doing wrong? If so, can the process be explained to me?

Oh, and here's an example of what I mean: https://gyazo.com/2d66e770b87ce613b4d06c9b19768337 (terrible quality and colors are more blue than purple as I was drawing it in Krita after exporting as a .jpg.)

Thanks.

Without access to the .kra file it's hard to tell what you're doing wrong, but check that you're not doing color management the wrong way. See viewtopic.php?f=139&t=128347&p=342214#p341984 for more discussion.

Make sure that you set the jpeg compression higher. The blocks are JPEG compression artifacts.(With JPEG compression, the computer abstracts details, which leads to those blocks, hence why we usually use PNG for coloured line-art, because it compresses differently)

Also note that jpeg is a lossy file format, no matter how high you set the quality option. I'd recommend to use png for high-quality images, png is loss-free.

Have you tried .png instead .jpg file format? .jpg file format is tradeoff of picture quality and file size in bytes.

Your output looks like you have 'zero quality' in export settings:

Wow, that label is seriously misleading
A value labeled "Compression:" tells me that a higher value means more compression, i.e. lower quality. Here it's actually the other way around... this should really be labelled "Quality" instead I think.
