I am trying to create a custom brush from the stamp option.

Whenever I click stamp, and old image shows up, and I do not get the image I am intending.

The image that is showing up is from an earlier image, that is no longer open in Krita.

Krita 3.3.3 appimage
Mint 18

Could you also test with 4.0 beta 1? I tried 3.3.3 and found weirdness as well, but with 4.0 from git it seems fine. See https://krita.org/en/item/krita-4-0-beta-1/

It might have gotten fixed in 4.0 beta as it seems to work there.

The issue might have had to do with the options you are using. The option "use color as mask" is selected. Masks are usually grayscale only. The stamp you are making has transparency in the background. This might have confused Krita if it doesn't know what grayscale color to assign to transparency.

ok with Krita 4.0.0 beta 1. It seems the problem remains. The image that shows up in the stamp window is an old one. I even tried selecting and copying (control+c) hoping that the stamp is from some buffer or something.



The first image the stamp sees is remembered and no new images are showing up.

It is entirely possible I'm doing this wrong, and that what I hope is the deal here, but this is with a flattened and desaturated image.

Right now I can get custom brush tips by creating Gimp gbr files and importing them.

hmm. I am not getting that issue with keeping the old stamp. I remember that was an issue with an older version of Krita, but thought that was fixed.

This is what I am doing and it seems to be ok

1. create a 256 x 256 image
2. go to brush editor and click the "+ Stamp" button
3. Image appears ok in the thumbnail
4. go back to my canvas and change brush pattern
5. go back to the brush editor and click the "+ Stamp" again
6. The thumbnail appears updated

I am on Krita 4.0-beta1 (git08e501c)

Yes, what you describe works.

What does not work is if you create a new image, select it, then go to the stamp option.

In my case the original stamp is still showing, not the new one.

*edit...
I mean create a totally new image, create a new brush, select it, then when you click stamp, the first image shows up again. Even if the first image is closed and not in Krita anymore it will show up in the stamp window.

ahh, yes that situation doesn't work for me too. That would probably be some bug.

I think right now the brush editor doesn't handle or work differently when you have multiple views. It is probably something related to that.

One workaround I think is to simply export a brush as a png and then use the import button next to stamp to import it. That seems to work.

For animated brush tips . . . no idea . . . just make it in Gimp and import it as a resource.
