When I draw in 4000 to 3000 pixel, Brushes are tiny dots and only after I let go of my lines, it renders to what the lines are actually are. There's a refresh animation. Only when I draw small 1000-2000 pixel, this doesn't happen. I've notice that some brush works (sometimes they have that refresh animation tho) if you draw on that many pixel. Most brush refreshes especially with thin and small lines. Even with big stroke, they render refreshes.

With Photoshop however, I never encounter this problem on 5000 pixel. Rarely on 13000 pixel but if I keep on drawing, it doesn't happen so noticeably. Also, in photoshop, the brushes are much better in my opinion. The feel of it while drawing seems more real and flexible. Probably because of opacity, flow, and smoothing. I was wondering if anyone have a krita configuration that have the same smoothing and feel as one of thoses default photoshop brush. I mess around with it but haven't achieved the same effect in krita.

I really want to use Krita instead of Photoshop because the keyboard shortcuts, easy color and brush selection is so much better and more flexible than on photoshop (I try to configure photoshop to be like kirta but sometimes it can't be done). I'm more use to krita, in photoshop you have to hold an extra button to change zoom, brush size, and panning. I work so much faster with Krita but the brushes aren't as flexible and drawing big for hd quality is also an issue. Krita has a bottle brush (deevad 3a Alchemy) that I color faster with too, I'm also wondering what that that tool is call and if photoshop have the same brush type. Photoshop to me is more for image manipulation rather than drawing but wow their brushes are really great for sketching.

The first thing sounds like Instant Preview isn't working right for you. Since that uses openGL, it probably is caused by the drivers being a little buggy. More info on instant preview here: https://docs.krita.org/Instant_Preview

I cannot help you with your photoshop brushes thing. We actually more often get to hear the opposite, that Krita brushes feel more smooth than photoshop ones. And in neither case, there's no real qualifier of what smooth actually means in this case, as it can mean "crisp" for one, "fast" for another, "anti-aliased" for a third, "even-spread" for a fourth, "better pressure response" for a fifth, etc.

I see. Thank you for the respond. I have instant preview on. I also have uninstall and reinstall Krita more than once before. Is there a way to fix the driver or instant preview?

Regarding the brushes, I think its more about preference. I notice I have more control in Krita and In Photoshop I am still very new at drawing with it but I prefer the texture created. Krita lags behind Photoshop with updating the overview. I hope to support you guys once I have a stable job or a job at all to improve because krita shortcuts are brilliant and efficient. It just the rendering and slight lag isn't working for me and also the feel of the brushes. In my post here, I go into detail comparing the two https://forums.adobe.com/message/9541443#9541443

Regarding brushes, I think the only aspect that PS does better is the control over textured brushes, especially the various blending modes that are available for combining textures to brush tips, and the dual brush functionality, which I'm hopeful the ongoing stacked brush feature development would more than cover for it.

For lags, you really need to learn how to make optimized brushes and there are plenty of options you can play with, like spacing, and the spacing sensors. And you can download several brush sets on the Krita resources section and learn how those brushes are created. There is more to krita's brush engines than is apparent. Ultimately you will have to get dirty and dive in, and optimize brushes for your needs.
